The Red Baron

>Charles the Bald dining with John Scottus (an Irish scholar he kept at court)
>Charles: "qui seperabis sottum et scottum?" (what separates a drunk from an Irishman?)
>John: "this table"

His Excellency, President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin Dada, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Seas and Conqueror of the British Empire in Africa in General and Uganda in Particular"

in English the word "scourge" is pretty outdated as a synonym for whip. I only knew it because of Dwarf Fortress

>Gardener of Human Happiness

>stalin confirmed as being hermaeus mora in dsguise

>"Coryphaeus of Science"

...

>a fucking archdruid as head of state

Badass.

That's a surprisingly romantic nickname.

Wait, what does the "sixth heaven" signify here?

Wasn't it sixth hell ?

Absolutely uncanny.

/ourhimmler/

That's what makes the nickname so great. He's equated to a natural disaster born out of the civilised world's impiety. He's the flood of Noah incarnate.

Why is everything about japan so cringe-inducingly larpy?

>Magnus Ladulås (Barn Lock)
His name refers to the restrictions he placed on the commoners' duty to house and feast travelling nobles. No longer could noblemen ride up to a peasants house and demand a feast that would consume much of the households winter supplies.

The lion from the north

The city-wrester

Its the title of Mara, a buddhist demon

The Big Fellow.

Soldiers and veterans said that despite all the political bickering and conflict over the civil war, they'd say things like "at the end of the day I'll follow the big fellow" as Collins was seen as the guy to trust.

He deserved better.

The Tiger of Mysore.

>Tipu was commonly known as the Tiger of Mysore and adopted this animal as the symbol (bubri/ babri) of his rule. It is said that Tipu Sultan was hunting in the forest with a French friend. He came face to face with a tiger. His gun did not work, and his dagger fell on the ground as the tiger jumped on him. He reached for the dagger, picked it up, and killed the tiger with it. That earned him the name "the Tiger of Mysore". Tipu placed relics of tigers around his palace and domain, but also had the emblem of a tiger on his banners and some arms and weapons. Sometimes this tiger was very ornate and had inscriptions within the drawing, alluding to Tipu's faith.

he was a big republican

The Tiger of Kai

>The white death of the Saracens.

Hitler called him The Man with the Iron Heart

why?

A man so renowned that he was the origin for the nickname of other Roman enemies.

This guy is great though

open to layered interpretation

>Rome converts to Christianity

Chun tú.

pagan

This is the first one of these I actually found funny.

Except the Lion From The North was Gustavus Adolphus' nickname, not Carolus'

Correct. Karl XII's nickname was 'the Royal Faggot'.

No. You need to a read a book if you need this explained to you. Go back to ancestry shitposting.

Good one, fella.

Dominate Emperors > all others (incl republic)

Nicenefags need to leave.
>taking the creed of a dirty Pagan emperor seriously

Daily reminder that Christ ASCENDED to divinity on the cross

What's the original meme of this ?

Arnulf the Evil. Sounds like a kids book villain.

More seriously, Stormin' Norman and Charles "The Hammer" Martel.

LiL long bean

Sancho VII of Navarre, alternatively called "the Strong" and "the Prudent".

He was 2.23 metres (7.3 feet) in height.
Literally a GoT character.

Kill yourself mate. What's the point in bringing it up if when someone asks for more information you tell them to fuck off?

Jesus this site is autistic.

The place where the Demon King lives in Buddhist myth

It's just Hebrews being Hebrews. Reformed or not the Abrahamic creeds seek the destruction of European identity.

A liberal Muslim homosexual ACLU lawyer professor and abortion doctor was teaching a class on Karl Marx, a known atheist.
"Before the class begins, you must get on your knees and worship Marx and accept that he was the most highly-evolved being the world has ever known, even greater than Jesus Christ!"
At this moment, a brave, patriotic, pro-life Navy SEAL champion who had served 1500 tours of duty and understood the necessity of war and fully supported all military decision made by the United States stood up and held up a rock.
"How old is this rock?"
The arrogant professor smirked quite Jewishly and smugly replied "4.6 billion years, you stupid Christian"
"Wrong. It’s been 5,000 years since God created it. If it was 4.6 billion years old and evolution, as you say, is real… then it should be an animal now"
The professor was visibly shaken, and dropped his chalk and copy of Origin of the Species. He stormed out of the room crying those liberal crocodile tears. The same tears liberals cry for the "poor" (who today live in such luxury that most own refrigerators) when they jealously try to claw justly earned wealth from the deserving job creators. There is no doubt that at this point our professor, DeShawn Washington, wished he had pulled himself up by his bootstraps and become more than a sophist liberal professor. He wished so much that he had a gun to shoot himself from embarrassment, but he himself had petitioned against them!
The students applauded and all registered Republican that day and accepted Jesus as their lord and savior. An eagle named "Small Government" flew into the room and perched atop the American Flag and shed a tear on the chalk. The pledge of allegiance was read several times, and God himself showed up and enacted a flat tax rate across the country.
The professor lost his tenure and was fired the next day. He died of the gay plague AIDS and was tossed into the lake of fire for all eternity.
Semper Fi

Oooo-oooh, read a book did we? Feel all kinds of superior to others do we?

What a fag

That "in particular" gets me every time.

One more lion. Lion of Lechistan.
That's how Turks called him. They called Poland Lechistan for some reason.

Hannibal is one of the most famous figures in history. Hundreds of books have been written about him. You have no excuse other than ignorance to know this very trivial fact. Also I don't feed Dominican-posting.

Lech may refer to Lech, the founder of Poland

Actually it's one of the Polish tribes. The Lechites. Poland takes its name from the biggest one. Hungarians call Poles Lengyels because that was another tribe and they were the closest to Hungary.

Longshanks and the Hammer of the Scots

The "barbarians sent by God" were a mix of pagans and Arian "Christians", and didn't bother seeking confession for killing Nicene civilians (because they didn't give a shit).

Anything that goes between "Dan" and "Schneider".

Haile Selassie's titulary included the phrases "Conquering Lion of the Tribe of Judah", "Branch of Solomon", and "Implement of the Holy Trinity". Must have taken him forever to sign a check.

Because hard translations don't convey the poetry of the original.

>3510109
Ebin redpill.

>Le Tapissier de Nôtre Dame
It was the custom in France to put the enemy's banners in Nôtre Dame and he captured so many in his lifetime that he earned this nickname.

Because everyone knows what a bust of someone who was never described or photographed looks like.
