Epithets

[Olerhead]

Anybody had any particularly cool epithets in their games? I know some folks playing as William the Bastard got the (historical) 'William the Conqueror' byname.

I've personally had 'the Fat' and 'the Ill-Ruler' because I'm just that good. Also 'the Brave' with Boleslaw but that doesn't count since he got it before the game starts.

And what are the stories behind getting your cool epithets?

There are the requirements for the additions to name.

I was 'the Cruel' :/

I got "The Cruel" added to my name as King of Scotland for making the Duke of Moray court jester & following the brief civil war we had I banished him. Thought I was well within my rights even with the opinion hit but seems I was wrong :/

I got Queen Júlia I "The wicked" once.
She was queen of Hungary and she was a little posessed and eventually excommunicated.

I got 'the Wise' on one of my rulers. Not quite sure how that happened.

I got 'the Wise' on one of my rulers. Not quite sure how that happened.

nick_the_wise = {
	allow = {
		age = 20
		NOT = { trait = arbitrary }
		NOT = { trait = wroth }
		NOT = { trait = slow }
		NOT = { trait = imbecile }
		NOT = { trait = inbred }
		NOT = { trait = incapable }
		OR = {
			trait = quick
			trait = genius
			trait = just
			trait = patient
			trait = scholar
		}
	}
	chance = {
		factor = 1
		modifier = {
			factor = 5.0
			trait = genius
		}
		modifier = {
			factor = 2.0
			trait = quick
		}
		modifier = {
			factor = 2.0
			trait = just
		}
		modifier = {
			factor = 2.0
			trait = patient
		}
		modifier = {
			factor = 2.0
			trait = scholar
		}
	}
}

And that's how you get 'The Wise'

I was sad when I looked around at past ruler lists especially for the Byzantines, and Basil II wasn't Basil II Bulgar Slayer.
