So, I'm doing some wider reading right now, and it's about three wizarding leaders in Europe in the 1300s who were all named Pedro, and all named Pedro the Cruel in various forms. Just to add to the confusion, one was also nicknamed Pedro the Great. In an extra twist of cruelty, the writer of the article hasn't given any assistance whatsoever in keeping track of them all so I'm sitting here drawing a diagram to make sense of something that may yet only be mildly helpful in my essay.

FML.

at what point does like any of that turn into something I actually want to read because it sounds like never

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

I'm gonna go out on a limb here and say that never is probably the correct answer.

That sounds like a super fun assignment right there, dude.

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

It totally is and not confusing at all!

What did they do to mark them as cruel?

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

I believe the Portuguese Pedro was fond of some rather gruesome execution techniques.

[unregrettable]

Maybe they were secretly all the same person.

[thecourtier.insanejournal.com]

That would certainly be one hell of a twist.

[unregrettable]

Is there any evidence to disprove this theory?

If there is, I'll let you know when I get to the end of the article.
