Back to the cage fighting monarchs and leaders of men. Here is an alphabetical list of their nicknames, that could be very useful for promotional posters.

Basil The Bulgar-Slayer.. vs...William The Bastard.
Also appearing...
Fredrick Great Belly Gerent...vs....Hairy Breechers Ragnor.
this time its personal....
What a find!
Great character names.
"Minus a Quarter" vs "Queen" (James I of England - "Queen"? hmmm)
I have no idea who Ivailo "the Cabbage" of Bulgaria was, but I'd love to meet him...
Given that immigration controls for Bulgaria and Romania are to be removed this year, you might well get to meet him:Quote:

Now I'm no expert in etymology, but when you see James II's nick name, and remember he fled the country when the going got tough you can see the meaning of "The Be-s***ten" has not changed.

The follow-up programme on Richard III was definitely better than the first, with it's emphasis on the tests rather than on the emotional faffing-around. Better mitochondrial DNA than sobbing !
Just a syntax question call it being pedantic and i am not usually :)
The OP title: Richard III reads: Richard the third.
What is written reads Richard three.
which is which? do we reading what we do not see?
An Irishman would call him Richard the Turd.Quote:

I suppose you could write Richard the 33.33333333333% but that would be just silly.
What is this tradition? That reads like Richard VI.Quote:
