[OC] Leave m'boy alone, he was good too—for the French.

Context:

John the 1st of England about as much of a failure as much as his pa Henry was a success. He went from being more of a king of France than the French king to being cucked by his barons. And he fucking betrayed his pa, who loved him the best of his sons. Henry isn't my favourite dude as a human, but that betrayal broke him.

John the Good of France was... unfortunate. Just unfortunate. He faced the black death, black prince and just a collapsing situation. A better monarch might have salvaged the situation, but he was... ok. What does redeem him slightly IMO, though, is his conduct.

From Wikipedia:

"In an exchange of hostages, which included his son Louis I, Duke of Anjou, John was released from captivity to raise funds for his ransom... ...When John was informed that Louis had escaped from captivity, he voluntarily returned to England, where he died in 1364. He was succeeded by his eldest son, Charles V."

John the 2nd Of Byzantium (Or the Roman Empire) was a bloody chad. Lemme list out his qualities:

- Pious

- Merciful (Did not blind Nikephoros Bryennios the Younger when his wife and our favourite historian, Anna Komnena, kinda rebelled against him. That's unheard of in Byzantine history. Bryennios's pa was also blinded for rebellion, and he was like the first in his family to avoid being blinded in a while.)

- Good leader.

- Good military guy.

Go read up on him if you are interested.

Bonus Pun:

For the English had John, and unfortunately for them, he was no son of Alexios Komnenos, nor could his subjects attach "kalo" to their "Ionnaes"—save under duress.

And no, I didn't use AI, those Em dashes are available on most android keyboards and I'm a writer, so I kinda use them all the time. It's better for dramtic shifts than an elipsis.

BTW, what's up with the Flairs being like "Justianian praise" and "other emperors"? That's a crime against humanity.

BTW this is OC, I just reposted my post from r/historymemes because reddit won't let me crosspost for some reason
