Gotta go with another Omar quote, made in reference to a noisome little banned former forumer who apparently has too much time on his hands:

It's the title of a book. How can you rob the Arabs of credit while you use the Arabic name?

This one by Aelfgifu had me going for a while--
Originally posted by Aelfgifu
The worst, for me: Ethelred the Unready. Name says it all... Complete failure of a king.
- Lost his fleet because one of his own ealdorman used it to go raiding his own lands.
- Did, for several years on end, not manage to actually bring his army in the same part of the country as the invaders, let alone face them.
- And when he did he was smashed, because another of his ealdorman was disloyal, and because he himself had no control over his army. - Finally, the people of his country gave themselves willingly over to his opponent, the invader Svein Forkbeard, because they preferred a king who could win battles. Only London did not surrender freely, and only because Ethlered was there at the time... And eventually, they too gave up. He had to flee to his brother in law, Robert of Normandy, and could only return because Svein died.
- Even his wife thought he was hopeless, and had his name removed from her biography (written after he died), referring to him only as 'a certain prince'. |
From Best and Worst Commander of Medieval Europe(400-1500) thread:
I don't know which point I found more hilarious, the fact he couldn't get his army to even face the invading vikings or that his wife refers to him as "a certain prince". The event where one of his own vassals takes his fleet and raids his own territory is just a riot. Forget about the unfortunate general Mack, he is a hero in comparison.

let's resurrect this thread. Being that they rarely see eye to eye it's good to know that they are now falling for each other.
Sparten: Yes, I agree with Aelfgifu (whaaaaaaaaaaaaaat?) |
Aelgifu: amazing.
