The Italians have Napoleon
The Germans have Charles V
The Dutch have Charlemagne
And the English?
The Italians have Napoleon

And the English?
Do Germans really idolize Charles like that?
I feel like Frederick the Great or Bismark would be better examples for Germany.
The English have Victoria and Richard the Lionheart.
>The English have Victoria and Richard the Lionheart.
Victoria was German (but at least she spoke English)
Richard was a Frenchman who couldn't speak a word of English
Richard I
French was the language of England at the time though.
No, it was the language of the French nobles who ruled over Enland
Oliver Cromwell
Admiral Nelson
>The Dutch have Charlemagne
If you really want to be a memelord and go down that path then it's the Belgians who have Charlemagne, not the Dutch.
Aelfred.
Richard Coeur de Lion was not French, he was Norman.
The nobles spoke Anglo-Norman, not French (which is actually Parisian)
Yeah but Belguim is a non-country
And so it was the language of England at the time
No
Most people spoke English and even then the dialects were so different they could barely understand one another. It wasn't until the 1500-1600s I believe that the London/Midlands dialect started to overrun the others (although features of the other dialects also superseded features of the London dialect)
Charlemagne spoke German and was born in Germany
*Karl
The "English" don't deify their betters like those on the Continent. They recognize these figure heads only have a limited role to fill that could be (and would be) filled by another capable individual should the leader die. Continentals are more likely to put their success down to their betters, or to some higher power while English recognize that leaders are replaceable and the individual efforts and attitude of everyone count more to military endevour than any great leader.
You say that but the one who put a crazy genocidal dictator ruling over the entire island were you rosbifs up north.
Charles was dutch faggot
George Washington
John Churchill
Horatio Nelson? We don't have that many individual rulers to refer to because we've had a parliamentary democracy while we've been relevant.
>The nobles spoke Anglo-Norman, not French (which is actually Parisian)
actually the french language wasn't unified yet so norman, occitan, ... were as french as parisian
>the Italians have Napoleon
The fuck
>Charlemagne spoke German
latin
classic troll like saying Richard Lionheart is french
It is precisely part of the strength of English civilization that they have not depended on "great men". "Great men" are a double-edged sword.
>Richard Lionheart is french
>Charles Quint is german
>Charlemagne is dutch
>Napoléon is italian
Is this the ultimate troll post ever found on Veeky Forums ?
no idea but pretty good
>Napoleon
>clear italian surname
>looks like a stereotypical italian
>100% pure French I swear! despite Corsica being Genoa's possesion until one year before his birth
King Arthur
Also Richard the Lionheart did speak English, it's just pseudo-intellectual fags who promulgate this 'fact' that they're keen to tell everyone about. Stop we wuzzing pierre
Why are people so quick to point out Richard The Lionheart was French but aren't keen on acknowledging that Charlemagne was Belgian, Napoleon was Italian and Hitler was Austrian? Also Richard was actually born and raised in England and his gramdmother was English
Corsica = Italian
My mistake, he was corsican not French. I will continue to spout this crap until people stop saying "Richard the Lionheart wuz Frensch n shieeeetttt cuz he related to frensch peepl"
This thread is high quality bait
more italian than french, that's for sure
>The Germans have Charles V
>The Dutch have Charlemagne
Charles grew up in Bruxelles so maybe switch those around.
>>clear italian surname
Bonaparte is very French
If it would be italian it would be something like Buonaparte or something.
For most people Churchill is their default hero probably
Nelson
old high german was his mother tongue

Yeah like one time. Cromwell is the exception and not the rule, while in europe the revolving door of tyrants lasted much longer and arguable does today.

William the Conqueror
>Victoria
Can we have someone else please?
How are you too retarded to understand this ?
Derryck John admits London ACID ENRICHMENT on moped riders...
Francophiles (would be better to call them Gallophiles) are quick to call Richard The Lionheart French while claiming Charlemagne as one of their own
Hes a pure Frankish king. Germs need not apply.
Is this where he flips his helmet back to show he's still alive? Also Francis will try to claim William yet not realising most modern English are descended from his sort
What are Franks user?
>Bonaparte is a French and Italian surname. It derives from Italian, bona (buona) "good" and parte "solution" or "match" (a name bestowed as an expression of satisfaction at a newborn’s arrival).
Bilbo Baggins
It was the language of the (French) upper class, English was the language of the poorfags.
>He was born Napoleone di Buonaparte (Italian: [napoleˈoːne di bwɔnaˈparte]) in Corsica, to a relatively modest family from minor Italian nobility.
Apparently the language today is more french than germanic
Does this look like a dude you would fuck with to you?
Thought not, our lad Will could maim and murder all of the people mentioned in this thread with one hand while simultaneously writing law that bans slavery for his own profit with his dominant hand.
English has a mix of all the decent continental countries, Latin french german and norse. Try watching a European show for example, they'll say in phrases and sayings in English.
Actually the nobiloty switched to English within 50 years of conquest. Why the heck would they continue speaking french to their English subjects?
Kek, english not being a relevant language is a hilarious butthurt liberal meme that has to be expressed in English.
The English language has always been respected and the english speaking peoople have accomplished more than the rest of humanity combined.
Napoleon surrendered to the English and frederick the Great, like all respectable germans of his age was an angloboo and little more than Albion's main continental mercenery.
England had a pantheon of greats so great that those we don't readily admit into it are still greater historical figures than the most exalted euroshits.
You've done it now mate, b8 or not this will be a shit show
Charlemagne or Karl der Große?
Charles the gross
George Washington.
Once more you fucking moron.
There are no Belgians.
There are Flames and Wallons.
And Karl was a Frank.
