Was he really over 2 meters tall or is it propaganda?

When he was a kid he and his friends had a mock battle in which 15 people died.

Yes he was a figurative giant. He was well over 6 feet tall by the time he was 15. Really interesting character all around.

Estimated to have been at least 6 foot seven, maybe more. Would have been a giant in the 17th century.

The cute part is when he toured Europe and tried to travel incognito.
