Try finding at least one to not vote for; even if you love all of them, and even if you can't pick a favorite...

Brian Rose

Even if you can't pick a favorite, and even if they all look good, I would still try to see if at least one of them not to vote for; otherwise, yeah it pretty much does make the vote meaningless.

Martin Verran

Well no it doesn't. It's basically because we cannot choose a Favourite out of this lot, hence the decision to Vote for all of them.

I need a moment to think about this. I don't really know anything about any of these and they're all well off the beaten path, which makes them interesting and worthwhile as far as I'm concerned. I think I might skip Boleslav since early medieval kingdom founders generally interest me less than late medieval and renaissance state builders. Probably just my modern day bias speaking and not understanding the greatness of medieval kingdoms.

Brian Rose

I do remember that! It's why I kind of don't want him to win (see comment below)

Brian Rose

Just going by a glance at Wikipedia, I think focusing on the 12th and/or 13th Centuries would be a good place to start.

Brian Rose

As cool as he may be, I'm kind of hoping Khosrow doesn't win, since he was already touched on back in the Justinian and Theodora series; other parts of history (like Poland and Southest Asia) need love too.

Pavel Yakushevich

You guys do realize voting for everyone makes your vote meaningless?

Favio Ferreira

Don't know any of these people, but the title "A Master Class in Trolling" has my interest piqued.

Peter Melling

Whatever you guys do, consult an expert in the field to give you a bibliography.

Khosrow is too close to Europe for my tastes. I'd worry about having another Suleiman situation on our hands, with the crew writing about a non-European from a decidedly Eurocentric POV. With the Khmer Empire, there's less of a risk of that happening.

Moarice

Man, it's really a tight matchup between Khosrow and the Khmer. Literally 1 vote away from each other by the time I voted.

Kieran Elliott

As much as Khostow sounds awesome, here's hoping on going a bit further afield.

David May

Fingers crossed someone recommends Michael Collins or William Wallace one day (lol)

Lou Hartman

Me too!

William Warren

Woo, my topic about the Khmer empire for chosen ^^ but good round overall, happy with all these choices :)

Michael Waisfeld

I guess I'm just still too salty over Emperor Valerian to vote for the Sassanids

SparkyDJM1

Hmm, such a great choice. I think I'll vote for all of them and hope we get a four way tie! Sorry, EC, but we really want all of them!

Martin Verran

So too did I, because hopefully that way I will avoid the disappointment of backing the losing Horse again. [again I don't mean my real Horse; old Dolly is a bit long in the Tooth now and does everything in One of Three speeds: Slow, slower, and stop. It's an expression.] That and I've really wanted an Indian Extra History since I joined Patreon. It's a pity I didn't get around to updating my PURR-ledge in the End. 😉

Antti Björklund

For once I voted for ALL OF THEM.

Elliot Hobbs

Khmernnnnn guysssss

Catherine Elizabeth Merkley

tro-lololololololololololololololo!

Adam Conner

let trolling prosper!

Mornathel

Cmon Khusrow, I want to learn about the Sassanid Persians and learn how to troll the Byzantine empire at the same time!

Aaron Neumann

I'm still surprised that Fredrick der Grosse (Fredrick the Second)of Prussia is still being passed over, but someone being called 'The Grand Old Man of India' sounds VERY interesting to say the least.
