The royal nicknames come from the Wikipedia
List of nicknames of European royalty and nobility that gave me the idea for the project earlier this year. I wrote some scripts to strip out the names and take a guess at the "good" ones (ones that start "the" or "de", etc) You can see the full list of over 2000 nicknames here.
The names in that cleaned-up list are unique, but of course originally there were plenty of duplicates. Here are the 20 most popular royal nicknames:
| the Great | 162 |
the Rich | 35 |
| the Younger | 139 |
the Good | 35 |
| the Saint | 119 |
the Wise | 32 |
| the Elder | 76 |
the Blind | 30 |
| the Old | 65 |
the Black | 29 |
| the Young | 59 |
the Strong | 26 |
| the Pious | 57 |
the Surety | 26 |
| the Fat | 45 |
the Lame | 25 |
| the Brave | 40 |
the Barracks Emperor | 25 |
| the Red | 38 |
the Emperor of the Army | 25 |
You know, that's a few more Barracks Emperors than I thought history would actually need.

One (grudgingly admitted) advantage of winter: winter coats with big pockets, less of a need for the man bag.
