At first I thought 47-72 ws his lifespan…But it was his reign.Was gonna say the guy looks pretty haggard for 25
Where’s his belly btton?
Maybe he is the reasn no one fucks with Denmark anymore. I get a Godfather-y vibe from this guy.
Is that a chinese dragon on the right ?
He’s the dragon reborn.
And his lightsaber
Crop out the head and what does it remind you of?
Me – The NeverEnding Story.
He looks like an actor from the 1940s, 1950s.
Not as impressive as he thinks it is.
It was actually very common for Victorian and Edwardian era monarchs to have tattoos, they weren’t seen in quite the light that they are in the modern era. Famously, Tsar Nicholas II had a Chinese dragon on his right forearm.
Charles XIV of Sweden never permitted surgeons or doctors to see him shirtless for the entirety of his life, it wasn’t until his post-mortem that they discovered why- he had, in his younger, revolutionary days (before he had been transplanted into Sweden as a foreign king), had “death to kings” tattooed on his chest.
That latter “fact” probably isn’t true, but is certainly widely repeated.
This man scuttled the entire danish fleet, in the middle of the night, when the nazis wanted to commandeer them during the occupation.
