Who is your historical husbando, Anons?
Personally, I have a certain attraction and fondness for Basil II, 'the Bulgar-Slayer':
>expanded the Empire to its greatest territorial extent after the losses of the Muslim conquests
>subjugated the barbarian Bulgars
>put down the land-owning aristocracy and ensured the continuation of the Byzantine bureaucratic system while crushing the nobility's hopes of a more feudal arrangement
>was a prudent and competent administrator who left a surplus in the Imperial Treasury upon his death
>extended Greek influence far beyond the borders of the Eastern Roman Empire, as far away as Kievan Rus'
>was a stocky and burly DILF who was known for his distinctive beard
10/10, would kiss

Why is it that land-owning aristocracy fuck everything up from the Byzantine, to the HRE, to France (thank you based Robspierre), and almost England; if they didn't get their feefees pandered to with the house of lords?

And to Poland-Lithuania, who's aristocracy needed to be pandered to to defend their own clay, in a way that more or less doomed the nation to be impotent later on?
Another debate resolved

Entitlement.

In order for him to be a 'husbando', you have to like him in the physical sense, if you catch my meaning :3
That glorious hair and jaw.
