This is exactly why I love Tumblr.

Imagine your favorite historical figure wearing nothing but the flag of their country.

I would like to point out that Merry and Pippin spanned the gap between Rohan and Gondor long before Aragorn even returned to the White City. Pippin became a close friend to Faramir and lit the beacon of Minas Tirith, while Merry rode with Eowyn to defend the ancient alliance. Theoden, King of Rohan, was slain on the soil of Gondor to uphold the honor of their allegiance; and Eowyn, dearer than daughter, slew the most ancient foe of Rohan to avenge him.

And then she marries Faramir.

Coincidence? I think NOT

King Kalākaua-- dubbed throughout time as the "Merry Monarch"-- dedicated his life&complicated rule to establishing the Kingdom of Hawaiʻi as an independent power recognized world wide, as well as revitalizing a culture that had been nearly ground to dust under the heel of colonization. Hula-- once publicly outlawed as a deeply spiritual&religious act by the missionaries who spearheaded the war to destroy our culture-- was brought back to the public consciousness by the King, an incredibly accomplished dancer himself.

The Merry Monarch Hula Festival is the most well-known portion of his legacy, and is celebrated by kānaka&lovers of hula all over the world.

Mahalo nui loa, Ke Aliʻi Kalākaua.

Richard I the Lionheart

Artist: Merry-Joseph Blondel (French, 1781–1853)

Medium: Oil on Canvas

Collection: Palace of Versailles, Paris, France

Richard I of England

Richard I (8 September 1157 – 6 April 1199), known as Richard Cœur de Lion or Richard the Lionheart because of his reputation as a great military leader and warrior, was King of England from 1189 until his death in 1199. He also ruled as Duke of Normandy, Aquitaine, and Gascony; Lord of Cyprus; Count of Poitiers, Anjou, Maine, and Nantes; and was overlord of Brittany at various times during the same period. He was the third of five sons of Henry II of England and Eleanor of Aquitaine and was therefore not expected to become king, but his two elder brothers predeceased their father.

By the age of 16, Richard had taken command of his own army, putting down rebellions in Poitou against his father. Richard was an important Christian commander during the Third Crusade, leading the campaign after the departure of Philip II of France and achieving several victories against his Muslim counterpart, Saladin, although he finalised a peace treaty and ended the campaign without retaking Jerusalem.

Though regarded as a model king during the four centuries after his death, and seen as a pious hero by his subjects, from the 17th century onward he was gradually perceived by historians as a ruler who preferred to use his kingdom merely as a source of revenue to support his armies, rather than regarding England as a responsibility requiring his presence as ruler. This "Little England" view of Richard has come under increasing scrutiny by modern historians, who view it as anachronistic. Richard I remains one of the few kings of England remembered more commonly by his epithet than his regnal number, and is an enduring iconic figure both in England and in France
