Yeah, Chester Arthur would be a great person to do a series on.

2017-10-29 22:32:47 +0000 UTCYeah, the entire kingdom had basically been pawned off to whomever had money, and he managed to restore all of Denmark in his reign. Valdemar Atterdag (best translation for that title would be Dawnbringer)

2017-10-28 22:42:10 +0000 UTCKing Pantsless is quite a good topic, yeah. She even manage to get an entirely unique title with very real, but very nebulous powers when she was declared Sovereign Lady and Ruler of Sweden. The story would probably also have to start with an episode about her father, who started out ruling a single, small town and a fortified tower upon his coronation, which is a pretty extreme position to be in as well.

2017-10-28 22:21:13 +0000 UTCI suggested the United States President, Chester A. Arthur. He became President following the death of President Garfield. Although Arthur was a corrupt politician before becoming President, he fought against corruption when becoming President. While he didn't dramatically shape the US or the world, he is still interesting nevertheless.

2017-10-28 13:35:59 +0000 UTCI suggested Xenophon and the march of the 10,000. It's an fascinating story of hard-fought battles, betrayal, and an epic march to the sea. And we have Xenophon's first-person account of the events!

2017-10-27 18:52:33 +0000 UTCWe've seen one man try to build a nordic empire. Now let's meet the woman who succeeded. Medival Europe's finest statecrafter and diplomat, Margrete I, founder of the Kalmar Union. Not only is she an interesting person in her own right, she also lets us talk about the pros and cons of Elective Monarchy, the power of the Hansa, a trade guild so powerful she felt she needed an empire to match it, and her adopted son was a LITERAL PIRATE KING! (Seriously, went from king of 3 kingdoms to pirate.)
