It was an artistic convention to paint leaders on oversized horses - but to give those animals unrealistically small heads. Which was considered flattering to the rider, for some reason.

Like this one of Charles I (who was also quite short):



He was a heck of a lot shorter by Feb 1649.

I'm pretty sure there have been plenty of nasty lanky blokes too, you know, the bullying type who love to lord it over anyone smaller than them.


Shut it shorty!

Sheikh Hasina in Bangladesh is most of the way there, Indira Ghandi’s security law was incredibly repressive too.

And, more to the point, how come no one has mentioned Paul Hurst??


Am now in process of reading up on Sheikh Hasina, thanks!

I don’t think the horse was that big, by horse standards. It was called Marengo and it’s skeleton is preserved.

Big hat though - Napoleon, not the horse. They don’t normally wear hats.


That Marengo was a big wuss. He was a chicken.

Yes, but despite war with Spain I don’t think Liz 1 invaded anywhere. Neither did Mary 1. Boudicca just massacred a load of romans and locals (about 80k), but that was a rebellion. Queen Anne had a little war going on (Duke of Marlborough n all that), but nothing to compare with Catherine t Great.


Tell that to the Native Americans...

Not sure that has a lot to do with Liz, Mary or Queen Anne come to that. I certainly doubt Boudicca’s lot tootled over unless they had floating chariots.

Correct me if I’m wrong, but I thought the Spanish and Portuguese sawed up S America and massacred the Incas etc. As for the plains/native americans, I thought that European traders introduced disses that wiped a lot of them out but corralling them on rubbish land, wiping out their food source and killing them was largely down to post-1776 America.

Please correct me if I’m wrong as my knowledge on this is woefully light.
