That gif is fake. Here, have the real one.

If you go around smashing /any/ swords against something firmly mounted, you'll end up with a broken sword.
Slashing using a part of your edge that is intended for slicing certainly won't help matters.

IX might be Alfred the Great, though I'm not sure. That's a bit too western.

VI. Is either Theoderic, Justinian, or Boethius

X. Will be Otto the Great

XI. Is William the Conqueror you dumb idiot

XII. Would probably be Henry II or Barbarossa

XIV. I'd give it to Chaucer for later influence or maybe Edward III

XVII. Is easily Louis XIV

XVIII. George Washington? That's only like the last bit. I'm not sure who to answer myself, maybe another French King, but I don't know.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Biblical_apocrypha

>>1037083
Because its apocrypha.

That's like asking why the color Red isn't Blue?

>>1037090
Because the matter that the light is reflected at attracts all wave-lengths that isn't red.
It's a rather complicated question, really.

Well this thread didn't last long.

He says he came to fulfill the Law, not to abolish it, and he did. The Resurrection is the fulfillment of the Law and the Prophets.

Incidentally this makes Judaism something of a religious dead end. Sort of an obsolete faith.

>>1036951


>17 “Do not think that I have come to abolish the Law or the Prophets; I have not come to abolish them but to fulfill them. 18 For truly I tell you, until heaven and earth disappear, not the smallest letter, not the least stroke of a pen, will by any means disappear from the Law until everything is accomplished. 19 Therefore anyone who sets aside one of the least of these commands and teaches others accordingly will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever practices and teaches these commands will be called great in the kingdom of heaven.

He was probably a real man who was mixed in with a lot of myth to form the symbol needed for earlier Christianity to the extent it really doesn't matter if he was real or not.

I have no doubt if Jesus was a real human being he wouldn't approve of at least half of the shit that's directly attributed to his teachings.

It was less the weather than the million Red Army soldiers surrounding them that fucked up Paulus's 6th Army.

>>1036883

Very little. Hell, according to Chuikov, the one time he thought they were really in danger in the city was when you had a partial freeze of the Volga, when the ice was too thin to send sleds across, but it still interrupted barge traffic, and thus made it hard to resupply.

Wasn't really the weather, just the fact troops weren't prepared if I recall

Also, fuck the italians

the only based emperor there ever was tbqh

sucessfully uncucked the imperial throne and made Japan great again

>>1036898
The Meiji Emperor was just a figurhead utilized by anti-Tokugawa warlords.

The last uncucked Emperor was really Go-Daigo back in the Kemmu Restoration of the 1300's.

AAAAAAA STOP IT

It seems there has been a misunderstanding, since in actuality, I studied the Roman Empire in its medieval phase when its capital was based in Constantinople, and certainly not the "Holy Roman Empire".

Out of all the dumb Crash Course-tier "jokes" circulating around /his/, this one's the worst.

Why that? It's certainly within the realm of possibility and I know of at least a few occasions where folks shot with arrows just ripped them out and continued fighting.

Sort of related

>At the Battle of Garigliano he single-handedly defended the bridge of the Garigliano against 200 Spaniards, an exploit that brought him such renown that Pope Julius II tried unsuccessfully to entice him into his service.

>Shrugging off arrows
I call bullshit. It would be easier to shrug off getting stabbed than getting shot with an arrow.

>>1036596
Remember how Henry V was shot in the fucking face with a longbow and was more or less okay or how the Swiss ripped crossbow bolts from their body to continue fighting?

I'm pretty sure -ia is the plural and -ium is the singular.

Regions/countries seem to predominantly have -ia attached to the end while cities seem to be a mixture of -ia and -ium.

>>1036534
somebody asked pretty much exactly this question in my Latin class a while ago, and I think the professor basically said that there was no rhyme or reason to which ending the name used. I think a lot of the names came from whatever the locals called the place anyways, or in some cases the Romans either used the Greek name or just pulled something out of their asses
>>1036537
you're thinking of the neuter gender, which I don't think was used in any placenames, but I honestly have no clue what the justification for it was.
