    Everyone back then had such cool nicknames. Today it would be “Teddy the McDonald’s Big Cheese” or “Latte Laurence” which doesn’t have the same ring to it as Vlad “Hater of Sunlight”.

    Alice the Vicious is also worth mentioning. She was in the group of Normans of Strongbow, that occupied Ireland, broke the legs and arms of people and threw them into the sea. Alice herself killed 70 men in one afternoon, because her lover had died. Also the Icelandic Viking known as "The Childlover", but that's because he didn't like tossing toddlers up in the air and impale them on spears. Vikings have tons of colorful characters, with names like Bloodaxe, Bluetooth, Forkbeard etc.

    As horrible and gut wrenching as Andronikos's horrible treatment at the end was... well, he did clearly have a love of pain and death, and although others did not share his enjoyment of it he still gave it out widely and freely to so many others, so as much as torture and death aren't most people's cup of tea it would have been a terrible injustice not to repay a small part of his bountiful charity, unusual as his sense of charity was, back to him. I'm sure he thoroughly enjoyed and appreciated it towards the end.

    Recently finished reading the The Leopards of Normandy series, in which the character of Mabel appears. Her wicked deeds are re-told in a format of a historic novel. Quite an enjoyable read overall, if anyone is interested - mind you, the books center around the Dukes of Normandy rather than her.

    Okay, the guy with the beard, if you look down to his belt us is a golden sword handle, and at the hilt of the sword, you will be delighted to see a puppy dog head. I think the hilt was supposed to look the way it does, and so goes the cartoon puppy on the butt-end of a death machine. I mean, maybe it's just me, but that looks like a golden dog head, and the dulled edges of the bust make it look like a cartoon. Other thing: What are the things at the end of the pommel of a sword, the kind in the picture to be sure, but are they part of the handle, or added on after? I don't understand swords...

      And this is strange, because Yaroslav the Wise wasn't actually a Ukrainian. At that time there was simply no such nation. He was also the ruler of the three main key cities of Ancient Rus (Kievan Rus) Rostov, Novgorod and Kiev, the first two were never part of Ukraine.

      You are correct. There was Small Russia and New Russia that were parts of the Russian Empire. An independent Ukrainian Republic was only formed in 1917 and lasted only until 1919, and even then it was a bunch of unstable territories with multiple warlords hacking each other up.
