Which Famous King or Queen Are You?

http://www.playbuzz.com/jonb10/which-famous-king-or-queen-are-you

Stubborn and hot-headed, you are Henry VIII (1491 – 1547)! You're life is a train on a one-way track, and you're the sole conductor! Few things can stop you from accomplishing your goals, and you tend to either bring others with you or bowl right through them - depending on how attracted you are to them. After all, if you have a shortcoming - it is your flirtatious nature and weakness for physical beauty. Either way your will shall be done! King from 1509 to 1547, Henry VIII split the Church of England from Rome, leading to rise of Protestantism in England. He also managed so dissolve the monasteries.

Passionate and artistic, you are Catherine the Great (1729-1796)! You are an incredibly creative individual who values human expression above all else, and have a tendency to surround yourself with interesting and unique individuals. For you, art is not only a tool for expression but a necessity to human nature. Catherine was one of the greatest political leaders of the Eighteenth Century. Catherine the great was said to have played an important role in improving the lot of the Russian serfs. She placed great emphasis on the arts and helped to cement Russia as one of the dominant countries in Europe.

However, sad as it is to say, when I think of Russian Monarchy, I think Bears.

No complaints. If I'm going to be a Russian ruler, she'd be the one I'd want to be. Next to Putin, of course.

"Chivalrous and charming, you are Richard I – The Lionheart (1189-1199)! A natural leader, you were born to rule - not just forced into it. Others flock to your magnetic personality, and are swooned by your genuine charm. You are not only a gifted leader, but one who leads by example, a rare feat. Richard I was a crusading King who gained fame for his chivalry, courage and indefatigable spirit."

Although, frankly, I don't see myself in the description. Maybe I should consider a career change to King!

Queen Elizabeth I



Independent and pensive, you are Queen Elizabeth I (1533 – 1603). You're a solitary individual, but not of a malicious sort. You are completely content waiting for the right person to come along, and until then prefer your own thoughts to anyone not worth your time. Queen from (1558 to 1603), Elizabeth was known as the Virgin Queen,as she remained unmarried. Under Elizabeth’s reign she largely avoided the descent into religious strife. She also rallied her navy, before the famous defeat of the Spanish Armada when England looked vulnerable to invasion.

I like that. Future oriented, interested in and promoted technology. As loyal to the British people and Empire as she was to Albert.

I was hoping one of the French Merovingian Kings like Dagobert might be on there, one of the ones who spent most of his life in the prone position while eating and drinking and carried throughout his realm lying on an ox cart. One of the so-called "lazy kings".
