Vagabong posted:The most famous one I can remember is Henry VIII's fourth marriage, which he agreed to based upon marrying anne of cleves based on her portrait only to dump her sharpish once he met her in person. iirc, he paid her a huge pension and gave her a bunch of properties in exchange for not contesting the annulment. Henry also moved her up to the top spots in the order of precedent rankings in out of gratitude for her just taking the money and walking away.

War and Pieces posted:Keeping the tax rates of the jizya in place after successfully Reconquisting a region of Al Andulus is a real King Chad move. In Britain, the mechanisms put in place to raise enough silver to pay danegeld was immediately converted into regular taxation once the danes took their money and departed

A Buttery Pastry posted:Her last point really sealed the deal for me. whenever you get people talking about things like a potential EU capital, there's always some Italian/Romance-language speaker suggesting Rome, as if it not being the capital of Europe is an offense against God. drat right! Only other options are Paris or Aachen. Anything else would be obscene.

Some Guy TT posted:oh that reminds me i saw in an old nato propaganda video that the portuguese actually had a working route to the americas only a few years after colombus had a route that kind of sucked people knew that columbus was underestimating the size of the earth and that he would run out of food before hitting "India" by sailing west. guy kept on making a nuisance of himself so he was paid and told to go ahead and find it if he thought the could, with the expectation that he was just going to die but who knows, he might be right? he wasn't right but being wrong didn't kill him, just a lot of other people
