ITT: God-tier kings
Did kings really wear jewelry?
>>38211
You are supposed to show how rich you are.
Manliest king in history coming through
>>38264
His fucking face will never not give me a laff
>Working class scum
>>38211
Yes, crown helmets were pretty standard parade armor (wouldn't go to battle in it tho).
The neckchain is a common decoration for powerful roles (again, not battle stuff tho).
The ring often doubled as seals and symbols of authority too (sure as shit weren't worn under or over wargloves tho).
>>38163
God-King coming through. Out of the way mortals.
>>38257
Well besides posing for portraits.
Obligatory
>>38407
You supposed to keep showing how rich you are.
There is a reson for Lord of the Rings meaning king, you know. Or Gift-Giver.
>>38258
He got lucky. Not once, but in every possible moments.
First with Austria, Partitions and later with Russia lol.
Well none of them since "god-tier" would require supernatural powers, which none of them ever had.
But who was the best warrior king?
Second to Alexander of course.
>>38400
>So Godly even the Jews acknowledged him
>>38163
There's nothing god-tier about George III, he could have kept America if he wasn't such a dick to his own colonies. His advisors told him not to go to war but he did anyways.
>>38163
>Mentally unstable hack
>'god tier'
>this is what bongs actually believe
At least go with Henry V or Dick Coeur-de-Lion
God tier Queen Cleopatra right here
>>38523
Sorry, but most-anointed kings disagree with you.
>>38566
The Jews call him a messiah.
>>39242
He didn't even real
>>39261
>Cyrus the Great was not real
Explain
>>38544
Henry V desu
>>38400
what's the best bio on him?
>>38482
What a cute king
Best Byzantine Emperor coming through.
Sorry Frogs, but Henry V literally did nothing wrong. It was all his land by right.
>>39615
Wrong, pic related is both the best ruler as well as a member of the best dynasty
>>39662
If he hadn't shat himself to death he'd have been legally recognised as king of France and England. He was set to take the crown.
Why'd he have to die?
Friendly-looking old monarchs are best monarchs.
>>39854
>king
I'm here to kick ass and make Germans literally drink shit.
>>39662
>>39687
The fact that died actually shows that he was unworthy.
>>39952
>Austro-Hungarian monarchs
>good
Franz Joseph was too spineless (and likely senile) to stand up to Wilhelm II. He literally destroyed Europe because he was too old.
How come French kings were all so completely miles above other European kings ?
That's a serious question, who in contemporary history can rival Clovis, Philippus II Augustus, Louis IX, François I, Henri IV, Louis XIV and all the others ?
>>39066
>Henry IV
>god tier
He was a smug protestant enabler, a royal motherfucker desu senpai.
>>40273
God dammit he even looks like a pepe.
BTFO of Viking shits, Devout christian, was a merciful man,
reformed the legal system to improve the lives of his people. Best King
>>40228
>François I
>Over Charles V
Bro, bro.
>>40273
>Dont getting the point.
>>40392
François I is one of the best king of France and thus certainly above Charles V.
Charles V abdicated and only owes his posterity to his lucky inheritance, he didn't do anything of note beside leaving his throne.
All of his wars against France, that he tactically dominated because of the Hapsburg's empire, were inconclusive if not straight up spankings; he fucked his reign up Fraser style.
>>40533
Yeah, while Francoise did not inherit his kingdom.
none.
>>40719
What do you mean ?
He was cousin of the former king and inherited because the latter didn't have a direct heir.
>>39662
Henry V de Plantagenet was French though
>You will never be a quirky Bohemian king
Most underrated of all French monarchs desu.
Everyone talks about Louis XIV and Napoleon, but this dude pretty much shaped saved France from becoming a feudal shithole like Germany and built a efficient state that would dominate the continent for centuries.
>>40815
Yes, but how many French died at his orders? It's not like he was on their side.
>>41027
Bouvines never forget
>>40533
Not him, but François I is way overrated.
All his shenanigans in Italy, and especially the defeat at Pavie, fucked him over desu.
When you read Charles Quint's stuff, you can immediately tell he knew what he was doing.
>>41072
>Yes, but how many French died at his orders?
Civil wars happen...
>you will never be this based
>>41027
Greatest king for France, no question.
Kangxi
Best meme king around.
Most based king Denmark ever had.
>>41321
>The occupying nazi force insisted on hoisting the swastika flag over the royal palace in Copenhagen. The king, who actually was a war prisoner, protested, and said he would send a soldier up to lower that flag and hoist the Danish standard. When the german officer threatened to shoot the soldier who dared the attempt, the king allegedly said:
>Then you have to aim well, because that soldier will be me!
>>39054
Presumably trolling, if poster is referring to Cleopatra VII Philopator, or possibly he simply doesn't know who he means.
>godtier
This is the only acceptable answer
>>41453
Pretty gutsy dude.
