Funny how big names like Alexander, Caesar, Atilla, Napoleon and Hitler seem to fly by in an instant compared to the vast timespan of almost 2,5 millenea. Most of the other names don't even ring a bell and seem to have ruled longer. Other rulers must have really been so unremarkable.
- zorked 8y agoWe tend to recognize the names that were involved in large territorial gains or losses (in other words, war). Probably for the average commoner, living in one of those boring kingdoms with a now-forgotten ruler was a much better deal.
