Gunnhild (Anderson's Mother of Kings)
Valeria Mautchek (his two Operation... novels; Three Hearts and Three Lions)
Holger Danske (Three Hearts...)
Huck Finn (in A Midsummer Tempest, Epilogue)
Irene Adler (Holmes and Watson are in ...Tempest, Epilogue)
blind Rhysling (Heinlein's Future History)
"...an Abelard who remained a whole man..." (Anderson's "House Rule")
"...a Rupert of the Rhine who outfought Cromwell..." (Three Hearts...)
and a number of others
Valeria Matuchek, the emergent heroine, is:
born and exists as an infant in Operation Chaos;
a teenager in Operation Luna;
on a field trip for her master's thesis in Three Hearts...;
the final name in a list of great women in "Losers' Night"
- and is not among the "losers" in that last story.

Kaor, Paul!
And we see Holger Danske again in the first Old Phoenix interlude in A MIDSUMMER TEMPEST.
A bit surprised you didn't say more about Winston Churchill's meeting Vincent van Gogh.
And we see whom I'm convinced was Queen Mary I of England in the same story.
IIRC, we also see what has to be Don Quixote and his squire Sancho Panza in that Old Phoenix epilogue to TEMPEST.
After reading "The Kitten and the Cardinal" Chapter of THE BOAT OF A MILLION YEARS, it would be easy to think Anderson could have included Cardinal Richelieu as a worthy guest at the Old Phoenix. But Anderson might have become interested in Richelieu only after TEMPEST and both of the Phoenix stories had been written.
Ad astra! Sean
