A Crusader at heart but a lion at flesh. The courage of one; who tore down empires at the mention of his name. King Magnus was he, a valiant fighter, that fought in the name of the Lord.
From a lone county in England, he gained seven thrones by marriage, plot, and conquest before dying in a hunting accident. His heir took another four including Jerusalem. Good job, lads.

His father's killers weren't able to get to him as a babe - his nursemaid ran off with him so long ago. Years later - now with the crown he used his great mind to weave his traps, realize his revenge, and he waited...

Roger of Reggio-o-o
Lived in Italy’s toe-toe-toe
Patient and just, devoted to Christ
He gazed cross the Strait with hungry eye
Called his lads quick on the go-go-go
Said, “Off to Palermo we row-row-row!”

Rudolf of Savoie came to power as a small child, fought many wars bravely and well, married unwisely, loved the wrong woman deeply, strove for greatness but fell short, and died old.
There once was a hero named Robert the Red, who came riding to London from ole Ireland!
And the braggart did swagger and brandish his "blade", as he told of bold battles and vassals he had made!
But then he went quiet, did Robert the Red, when he met the lusty maiden Matilda who said...
Oh, you talk and you lie and you drink all our mead! Now I think it's high time that you lie down and breed!
And so then came the clashing and bashing and grunting and more, as the brave lass Matilda charged in full of zeal!
And the braggart named Robert was boastful no moooooree... when he started to cry that he was sore!

Even an ignorant, paranoid, cowardly, ugly, corrupt, unsociable, aristocratic thug can conquer large parts of the world, kill thousands of people and be celebrated as the saviour of the Republic.
I hope spaces don't count!
"My ultimate ruler is quite the PARADOX...
To conquer EUROPE UNIVERSALLY, his only goal.
Though his HEART is made OF IRON, being a CRUSADER and a KING are not his only ambitions.
Upon return from Jerusalem, he will wed his love, VICTORIA."

"His grandfather had united the two Francias, his father solified the realm... but he, Emperor, twice King and father to two kings would become the ultimate ruler of medieval Europe...

With wit as sharp as steel he won the Norse, and by his steel the Suomi were conquered. Norway's gold was his, as was soon the Danish crown. He was King Stenkil the Lion of Sweden, Sword of the North.
The Count of Lesbos was a funny old dear: gay and infirm, his subjects thought him a bit queer - but don't be disheartened for the solution is here, with the help of his wife he'll be dead in a year!

Rightious fury with a wife unruly, born hidious and cripple he is not one to fiddle. Unlucky and all he went for the call, the crusade was lost and so was his treasury due to the cost. Two more years he will stand, a king without a land.

Urraca, Queen of Aragon, sired by a Bastard, mother of a new generation of Iberian Queens. Called "the Good", her only sin, a well earned sense of pride. May her poetry inspire all mankind!
King Håkon the Great:
Moor and pagan and foreigner less, the knife came from closest kin.

King Swiatopelk the Great of Poland was 45 years of age as of 1453 and ruled every single one of them. Nicknamed 'the Great' in his 12th, Gregarious was the closest to a positive trait he had.

To serve the realm with all his skill; to guard his people with all his might; to praise the God with all his faith; to be kind to his kin and faithful to his wife; to protect the Church and the Holy Land; those are the merits of a true Crusader King.
