Answer 1

Sir William Marshall, to King John of England and the signing of the Magna Carta of 1215, at Runneymede.

Please, read his entire biography, to understand how and why he arrived at such an important time in England's history.

Answer 2

Well, Benjamin Franklin to the founders of the United States comes to mind, for one.  Abbasid caliph al-Mamun to the Islamic Arabian Empire in the 9th century, when the advances in Mathematics around the world were promoted by this empire. Wernher von Braun to the USA's NASA program, which resulted in space flight and man reaching the moon. The Abranel family to the Ottoman Empire, on financial dealings. David Ben-Gurion to the development of the state of Israel - he was also the first Prime Minister, but had already developed and influenced the founding of the country prior to his election when that founding became reality. Throughout history, there have been individuals and groups that were major influences without being the actual leaders, but these are some examples.
