Years ago. Well actually many decades ago, I read a book about the Battle of Shiloh. I remember that it was considered to be the authoritative book on the battle. I also remember thinking after trying to look at the many maps provided, how good can this book be if the maps are utterly...

Not sure if this is the right category but if someone conquered the world and established a hereditary monarchy what title would he be called? Would Emperor be too small a title for the ruler of the world?

In pashtuns onpy KPK and fata pashtuns use this, khan is very rare in Afghanistan as onpy Mughals used it as title and surname. I i ow some rajput clans used this title as well because they joined Mughal armies 8n large numbers and Emperor gave theme this title. But why even non martial Brahmin...

Although Roman authority was exterminated in Gaul did the legal right persist in Britain ? Was the Saxon kingdom of Wessex based on Roman title ? After all, the Pope approved William's inheritance .. "J.N.L. Myres noted that when Cerdic and Cynric first appear in the Anglo-Saxon Chronicle in...

I've been wondering lately how much the nobility and the people at large of western Europe actually believed the claim that the emperor of the HRE was an actual roman emperor in the same vein as Trajan or Constantine. Carolingian, ottonian, and other early medieval emperors certainly tried to...

What determines the title of an independent feudal lord? For example during the First Crusade when crusaders took Edessa, Baldwin became the "Count" of Edessa and in Antioch Bohemund became the Prince of Antioch. Both were independent states. So instead of becoming kings, why did they become...

Greetings Hoping to identify the position inherent with this title- what i have found from a non-german speaker perspective is vague. Thanks for viewing!

I know that Heraclius gave himself the title of "basileus", mostly for propaganda reasons, but did he also give up the title of "augustus"? If not, do we have any sources that call the byzantine emperor "augustus" after Heraclius? The empress was still commonly referred to as "augusta"...

Was it Augustus or Caesar? I know Augustus meant venerable, and Caesar was an understudy to the Emperor, but then where both part of the Emperor's official title/style? For instance, Marcus Aurelius was labelled Caesar with Lucius Verus by their step-father Augustus Antoninus Pius. And when...

Has anyone here read 'The Scandinavian Baltic Crusades 1100-1500' from the Osprey series? I'm wondering does it give decent coverage to the pagan armies at that time (Finns, Estonians, Balts etc.) or does it only talk about the Crusader forces? Also has Osprey done any books focusing on...

Should women change their title(surname) to their husband's title after marriage? Traditionally, it was the case. Though I generally dont like it. Woman changing their title to their husband's title seems to me patriarchal. In my opinion, woman should keep their titles after marriage. When...

I make and drink lots of beer. Gin's good too although I must admit It's easier to buy the stuff than trying to replicate a decent Bombay. There be dragons!

1- Some people assume that when Mongols devastated Afghanistan in 13th century ¸ Pashtuns must have borrowed from them at that occasion. Why would Mongol conquerors bestow their royal title to them?. Also People should keep in mind that Mongols devastated central and northern Afghanistan...
