you know, it's kind of weird that monarchs are referred to by personal names, now that i thin kabout it.

i guess it's cos they're all related.

I always found it funny that the second Bush was the third George. So many terrible jokes.

I like the way monarch names are written.

and I like high numbers in monarch names. Thank god for Felipe VI being called that, am I right folks

the only way it'd get funnier is if the Bush family were German, but sadly, they're not I don't think.

There were sixteen French Kings named Louis.

This is a thing French Kings thought was okay.

Przemysl Ottokar II remains my favourite royal name.

Ottokar is pretty straightforward

The rz here represents a sound in Czech that is halfway between a trilled r and a sh/zh-sound, but the rest is pretty straightforward: "prrsheh-mee-s(uh)l."

Salix Babylonika

I think I can approximate that.

I seem to be better at making the zh sound than many English-speakers.

Sredni Vashtar

There is a town in the south of Poland with the same name, likely from the same origin as the family name in question, but the pronunciation is slightly different: Roughly, "PSHEH-mish-l(uh)." The tounge is pulled up on the rz here.

^ Good.

Czech folk are great.

Which is why I'm eternally upset at having to beat Bohemia's ass in EU4 so often, but strategy games man.

His patrilineal descent, as known with certainty, commences with Timothy Bush who served from Hebron, Tolland County, Connecticut, in the French and Indian wars from 1755 through 1757

That is because Carl Gustaf is a lovely name. My grandfather Carl is named that, and so was his father, Papa Gus. I won't hear anything against Carl Gustaf.
