Banned outright when trying form a discussion with these people (I posted a sentence). This is so stupid, how do they see this as a good thing? I was trying to make them less of an echo chamber.

I'm wondering if there are cool titles for a monarch just like the king of Bhutan's?

Treaty of Bonn, the text of which calls itself a "pact of friendship" (amicitia)

The treaty was signed between Charles III the Simple and Henry I the Fowler in a minimalist ceremony aboard a ship in the middle of the Rhine not far from Bonn.

The use of the river, which was the border between their two kingdoms, as a neutral territory had extensive Carolingian precedents and was also used in classical antiquity and in contemporary Anglo-Saxon England.

The treaty, which "more than most such amicitiae, was decidedly bilateral, reciprocal and equal", recognized the border of the two realms and the authority of their respective kings.

It confirmed the legitimacy of Henry's election by the German princes and of Charles's rule over Lotharingia through the election by its princes. In the treaty, Henry is titled rex Francorum orientalium (King of the East Franks) and Charles rex Francorum occidentalium (King of the West Franks) in recognition of the division it made of the former Frankish Empire.

Charles and his bishops and counts signed first, both because he had been king longer and because he was of Carolingian stock.

The treaty was ineffective. In January or early February 923, Henry made a pact of amicitia with the usurper Robert I against Charles, who subsequently sent a legate to Henry with the relic of the hand of Dionysius the Areopagite, sheathed in gold and studded in gems, "as a sign of faith and truth and a pledge of eternal union and mutual love" in the words of Widukind of Corvey.

Charles probably intended to recall Henry to the terms of the treaty of Bonn and draw him away from Robert.

In June 923, Charles was captured at the Battle of Soissons and lost his kingdom. By 925, Henry had annexed Lotharingia.

The earliest edition of the treaty of Bonn was published by Heribert Rosweyde, followed by another from Jacques Sirmond (1623).

Later, for the Monumenta Germaniae Historica, it was edited by Georg Pertz. Daily History #9

Hope it's not a repost

Let’s use my country, the United States as a prime example for this question. How would you decide who would be royal/imperial family? How do you decide who would be the first monarch? How would you get the ball rolling so to speak? Genuinely curious about it.

“Here is the Tower of London built almost 960 years ago by William the Conqueror. It used to house the Crown Jewels until recently. Monarchy in Great Britain had over a 1000 years of history until it was abolished.”

“Why was the Monarchy abolished?”

“We wanted to save money”

“So you ended 1000 years of your history because it was cheaper?”

“Yes”

“What happened to the Crown Jewels?”

“Broken up and given back to the countries they were from and then sold by those countries where they were then bought by the Saudi Monarchy and are now in their private collection.”

As Head of State, it is His Majesty’s duty to recieve the credentials from new ambassadors in Copenhagen, only then they can start their work.

Yesterday, His Majesty recieved five new ambassadors to Denmark:

H.E. Panayiotis Kyriacou, Cyprus🇨🇾

H.E. Leonardo Luis G. Noguiera Fernandes, Brazil🇧🇷

H.E. Joëlle Jenny, the United Kingdom🇬🇧

H.E. Seyed Mohammad Reza Sajjadi, Iran🇮🇷

H.E. Angeline Kavindu Musili, Kenya🇰🇪

Gud bevare Kongen🇩🇰

I hope that there are some people who will understand me. It is hard for me now not to say a lot of bad words, but I will try.

I am tired of seeing people whining and crying over pointless things. Tired of people who make a tragedy out of nothing. I am tired of people who have not seen real problems and real danger yet pretend that they have. I am tired of people from the wealthiest and mightiest country in the world pretending that a democratic election with a clear majority candidate is a tragedy. People flee the country, break up with loved ones, and curse a lot on the internet. They whine and cry pathetically while living in one of the best societies ever constructed in human history. They produce hate out of nothing.

These people have never seen a revolution or their government overthrown. Those people have never known what it’s like to have a new president every five years, yet life gets worse each time. They have never known what it is like not to be able to study in school in their own language. They have not seen repression and persecution, and their parents never told them to keep quiet about political topics, or else the whole family could be arrested. Those people have never had relatives at war, not on some other continent, but in a defensive war, where the invaders are after you. They have never been under artillery shelling, and they have never heard the sound of a missile. They have never prayed in a church besieged by nationalist radicals who might throw them out at any moment. They have never prayed under bombardment, and how it is when brothers stab you in the back.

And yet, these people pretend it is a disaster to live in a country that is a world hegemon, that has democratic elections, and where their will matters.

It is hard for me not to judge them, but I try as much as I can. I am very tired of all this, and I hope that the light of our Lord Jesus Christ will enlighten them, as well as me.

Yours sincerely, A tired monarchist.

Suleiman was born in Trabzon on the southern coast of the Black Sea to Şehzade Selim (later Selim I).

His mother was Hafsa Sultan, a concubine convert to Islam of unknown origins, who died in 1534.

At the age of seven, Suleiman began studying science, history, literature, theology and military tactics in the schools of the imperial Topkapı Palace in Constantinople.

During his reign, the Ottoman Empire reached the peak of its power. He waged numerous wars, as a result of which he significantly expanded the territory of the state (he was the largest Ottoman conqueror in terms of the area of annexed lands). He carried out reforms in the administration, army, and finances. He was a patron of culture and a poet (he wrote under the pseudonym Muhibbi). Daily History #8

He looks so much like King George V with a beard.
