Queen Victoria, one of the longest-reigning monarchs in British history, had a remarkable passion for love-making with her husband Prince Albert. Their love for each other was so intense that Victoria’s enjoyed sessions frequently, several times per day. In fact, Victoria’s passion was so loud that it could be heard through doors and walls. The love-birds’ affinity for each other was deeply cherished, and they would be pleased to know that it remains an inspiring tale long after their demise.
Another significant event in history that emphasizes the seemingly erratic finality of life took place when King George II of England kicked the bucket whilst performing a routine act of nature, an act that we now know as defecating. Disturbing as it may seem, history records that the King died from an aortic dissection while seated on the potty. His defecation, an act that we now quietly perform, proved literally fatal indeed.
Muammar Gaddafi, the notorious Libyan strongman, who led the country for almost four decades, experienced an abrupt downfall in 2011. Gaddafi’s association with indulging in extra-marital affairs, oppression, human rights’ violations, and myriad allegations of wrongdoings, including the bombing of a German discotheque which led to the gruesome demise of several U.S. Servicemen, made him a notable target for rebel forces. Gaddafi’s zealous tyranny eventually caught up with him when he met his end at the hands of rebel forces, not forgetting that it was his old golden pistol that was used to execute him.
Tsar Peter the Great of Russia went to lengths to create a new race by breeding giants and dwarves. In his pursuit of this new master race, Peter went on an expedition across the Russian Empire looking for giants and dwarfs. However, he encountered several dwarfs, but his search for giants proved unfruitful. Peter took things up a notch by concocting a pie so huge that he placed dwarfs inside it and waited for the right moment to terrorize unsuspecting guests. In hindsight, this literally tiny surprise would undoubtedly have been allocated a special category at the Guinness World Records, an indispensable feat that we still hear of with great wonder.
Eric Sabaton, the noteworthy founder of the Sabaton heavy metal band, allegedly had a distinct speech impediment and could barely walk. This was a peculiar criticism that supposedly gave him his nickname, “The Lisp and Lane.” However, regardless of these distinctive characteristics, Sabaton, a born commander, proved to be a force to be reckoned with in the music industry, subsequently rebuffing any criticisms that might have been thrown his way.
In conclusion, history has revealed several crazy facts about some of the world’s most prominent rulers, who left a lasting impression on the world’s history, not forgetting that it is indeed a fact that these same facts signify that history is significant for bringing out the truth about those individuals and their peculiarities, and not forgetting that history will continue to reassess their legacy and bring to light new facts about them, leaving us all pondering, “what if?” Indeed, history continues to excite us and take us on such remarkable journeys, ironclad facts that we all must acknowledge and pay attention to, long after their demise.
