As a devout monarchist who takes frequent meanderings through the info world seeking curious facts, I have discovered that Portugal easily has the coolest epithets for its rulers. For example:
- Sancho the Populator
- Peter the Vengeful
- Ferdinand the Unconscious
- John the Man
- Manuel the Grocer King
- Sebastian the Virgin King
- Philip the Oppressor
- John the Nuns' Lover.
These are hilarious. Even better than Juana La Loca.
