Do you have a favorite Ruler 📏?

[pethouse]

Do you like history? Possibly even have a favorite ruler like a president, emperor, king or queen?
I found mine today!! The Leper King Baldwin IV!!
The reason you ask? Well mainly because he wore a mask.

Marcus Aurelius, one of the few really great Roman emperors (a philosopher-emperor) and a great embodiment of Stoic ideals:

Unlike other emperors, he didn't lavish himself with riches and jewels, didn't have debaucherous parties, he lived a relatively modest and simple life of virtue.

This video is very long and possibly a bit biased but I think it's a fascinating one if you have the time to understand a man who actually managed to defy Lord Achton's general observation that absolute power corrupts absolutely.

It’s fairly hard to narrow down, Alfred the Great, Henry VIII, Elizabeth I and Victoria. However Edward I was in battles all his life and never lost one. For me of those the greatest was Elizabeth, under her rule the early Church of England was secured, the Spanish Armada was defeated, a professional secret service was started, the age of discovery was started, Shakespeare was doing his thing, the navy started using standardised cannons, this gave the Royal Navy far more available fire power for its ships sizes and numbers compared to other nations.

Genghis Khan

Despite being a horrible person, this dude probably f*cked half of the woman in the world.🤣🤣🤣 Taking questions in the sexuality topic into consideration, he is literally what half of the guys aspire to be.😶😶😶

Also amazing strategist! He managed to completely obliterate Jamukha's army by setting up a false encampment as an illusion which fooled Jamukha's men into thinking Temüjin had twice his numbers, causing them to try to ambush the decoy camp which allowed Temüjin's forces to catch them completely off-guard.

I mean he was certainly successful at a lot of things especially military but I’m pretty sure most of his “sex life” was not consensual.

@GuyAnswersGirls123 🤣🤣 we don't learn that much about him at schools, but you're right.

Someone just watched Kingdom of Heaven.

Favorite ruler is Karl Franz of the Empire of Man. I totally cheated here cause he ain't real.
