So is this thread now including handsome/beautiful modern day monarchs to? If so I gotta bring up my boy King Wangchuck, "Dragon King" of Bhutan. Pretty sure I've posted this here before.. Not only is his wife and him good-looking as hell, they're pretty cool people responsible for giving up much of his power for political reforms in his country and becoming more democratic. And his name is badass, Wangchuck teehee :D

Came across this reading about Young Stalin.

Ioseb's father had always wanted his son to train as a cobbler rather than become educated. He was infuriated when the boy was accepted into the school. In a drunken rage he smashed the windows of the local tavern, and later attacked the town police chief. Out of compassion for Ioseb's mother, the police chief did not arrest Besarion, but told him to leave town. He moved to Tiflis where he found work in a shoe factory and left his family behind in Gori.

Dude just loved shoes.


-edit-

holy shit

About the time Ioseb began school, he was struck by a horse-drawn carriage. The accident permanently damaged his left arm. This injury would later exempt him from military service in World War I.[4] At the age of 12, Ioseb was struck again by a horse-drawn carriage and injured much more severely. He was taken to a hospital in Tiflis where he spent months in care. After he recovered, his father seized the boy and enrolled him as an apprentice cobbler at the shoe factory where he worked.

How dare the revolutionaries rob the State Bank of the Russian Empire to fund their cause. The Tsar needs that money. Good thing there were no violent conflicts in the American Revolution.
