gjw Posted June 2, 2022 Share Posted June 2, 2022 Hello all, seeing how this year is the 70th Jubilee for Elizabeth II, I thought it might be nice to pay tribute to a monarch who was on the throne almost as long. I thought it would be nice to make a display to honor the old gentleman. Best, Greg 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Best, Greg Nice thought, but you do know the "old gentleman", as you call him, managed to lose not just about every war he fought over the course of his long reign, but also his empire, right?

Kind regards, Sandro Hey Sandro, sure do. He had a very interesting life, also one filled with tragedy. Brother shot, Sisi assassinated, Rudolf suicide. Plus as you said lost wars and eventually the Empire. By most accounts however, he was well liked and respected by his subjects. I do find him an interesting man.
