David was a warrior king not a spiritual leader so I'm not sure how he falls into this category but Moses could definately fall into this category however you might also want to take into account much of the Torah was written after his death and in some cases like Deutornomy were written after the Babylonian Exile so how much of that is Moses and how much bearded old Jewish guys trying to create a unifying history is debatable.
Same with Jesus, the earliest book (Matthew) is dated about 75-100 years after his death.
No similar claim can be made of Muhammed whose Koran is contemporaneous with his life.

Neither was (were?) involved in the Hundred Years War between England and France, which wasn't a religious war to begin with. You should include her grandson, Emperor Charles V, and her great-grandson Philip II of Spain, though. Throw in Mary I giving her sister Elizabeth a high-five.
