King Charles the 12th being carried after dying at his final battle, also know as Caroulas Rex (sorry if misspelled) look him up, total badass
"O sultan, Turkish devil and damned devil's kith and kin, secretary to Lucifer himself. What the devil kind of knight are you, that can't slay a hedgehog with your naked arse? The devil excretes, and your army eats. You will not, you son of a bitch, make subjects of Christian sons; we've no fear of your army, by land and by sea we will battle with thee, fuck your mother.
You Babylonian scullion, Macedonian wheelwright, brewer of Jerusalem, goat-fucker of Alexandria, swineherd of Greater and Lesser Egypt, pig of Armenia, Podolian thief, catamite of Tartary, hangman of Kamyanets, and fool of all the world and underworld, an idiot before God, grandson of the Serpent, and the crick in our dick. Pig's snout, mare's arse, slaughterhouse cur, unchristened brow, screw your own mother!
So the Zaporozhians declare, you lowlife. You won't even be herding pigs for the Christians. Now we'll conclude, for we don't know the date and don't own a calendar; the moon's in the sky, the year with the Lord, the day's the same over here as it is over there; for this kiss our arse!"

Nice thread

More of a tragic than a badass, war was all he knew and all he did. but one cant entirely blame him, the first thing that happend once he became king was a tripple-alliance war aimed at him.

i mean when 6 countries all come after you at once....he never lost a battle and won them with all odds stacked against him, not only did he stop 6 invading countries, he turned the tide and took their land instead, all except russia

Definetly, but I'm confident that only a badass could carry all that shit on his shoulder and see it through (at least until he died lol). I'd sure as fuck couldn't build a fucking empire at 15, even with great advisors and generals at my side. Most would probably have gone all Tommen Lannister on that shit.

The favorite painting and artist of an infamous failed painter. There are multiple versions of the painting in question.
Böcklin did make some memorable pieces. If you don't know who he is, you've at least encountered his work.
The proclamation of the German Empire at Versailles

As the Sultan; son of Muhammad; brother of the sun and moon; grandson and viceroy of God; ruler of the kingdoms of Macedonia, Babylon, Jerusalem, Upper and Lower Egypt; emperor of emperors; sovereign of sovereigns; extraordinary knight, never defeated; steadfast guardian of the tomb of Jesus Christ; trustee chosen by God Himself; the hope and comfort of Muslims; confounder and great defender of Christians - I command you, the Zaporogian Cossacks, to submit to me voluntarily and without any resistance, and to desist from troubling me with your attacks.
--Turkish Sultan Mehmed IV

In the Friedrichsruh version of The Proclamation of the German Empire, Anton von Werner took even greater liberties with regard to historical fact than he did in the palace version and the 1880 woodcut. The Friedrichsruh painting was commissioned by the Prussian royal family in February 1885 as a present for Bismarck’s upcoming 70th birthday. As in the 1880 woodcut, Bismarck is shown in his white Cuirassier uniform (which, as was explained in the previous caption, he did not actually wear on January 18, 1871). Likewise, he is shown in the same thigh-high Cuirassier boots, and his authoritative stance remains largely unchanged. Also for example, Chief of the Prussian General Staff Helmuth von Moltke assumes greater prominence than in previous versions of the scene, and Prussian War Minister Albrecht von Roon, who was not present that day on account of a bout of catarrh, has been inserted into the assembled crowd. As Matthew Jefferies pointed out, it is remarkable that all of the major figures in the Friedrichsruh version look as they did in the 1880s, not as they had in 1871. Thus, its value as a “snapshot” of an event fourteen years earlier was necessarily diminished. It is important to remember, however, that the various versions of Werner’s Proclamation responded as much to the desires of individual patrons than to the notion of historical truth. Insofar as this version was intended as a birthday gift for Bismarck, it is entirely natural that he would take center stage and be surrounded by his closest friends and colleagues. It is just as logical that, by 1885, the unostentatious and rather hurried proclamation depicted in the palace version should have been transformed into a much more vibrant and symbolically rich portrayal of the empire’s founding – and its “founder.” This painting still resides in Bismarck’s former estate in Friedrichsruh.
