I had never heard of Onfim, the 7-year-old boy from Novgorod who doodled his conquering fantasy on birch bark in the mid 1200s. It was some sort of homework or lesson of practicing Cyrillic letters, but Onfim's mind apparently wandered to more exciting stuff.
I think he would get along with the average 7-year-old boy today.
