"King of England? More like 'King of Drama' #1066 Was that a coronation or a reality TV show? " (posting a meme of a crown with a confused face)

Next one up! "Who needs the Iron Crown when you can rock the Iron Throne? #Lombardy #Italy Charles IV slayed the game in 1355"

And what's this? A Byzantine Emperor? Constantine XI is giving some serious 'Game of Thrones' vibes Who else is ready for the battle of Mystras?

Spanish conquests, huh? The Union of Arras was all about unity... until Ottavio Farnese came along and threw a wrench in it. Guess you could say he "Farnessed" the power #UnionOfArras #DukeOfParma

Arauco War? Chile's got drama too, but at least they can celebrate with some Parliament-y goodness Who else is feeling Quillín vibes?
