The question is too broad to answer. Historical journals are usually thematic and there will be many covering the appropriate historical period. Or do you mean popular magazines?
Depends on who the historical figure is, what period they live and their significant contribution to historical developments. Some journals focus on Military history, some on Social and others on Economic, Medical or Scientific history.
Bear in mind that most academic journals on considering a paper are looking for work that contributes either new material or a different re-evaluation of the subject matter.
