But Franks are gonna be Franks and promote their fiction...

I know this doesn’t seem terribly relevant to current events, but with the recent anniversary of the fall of Constantinople I just want to clarify that the last Roman Emperor was not Constantine XI. It was Francis II.

Knowing when the Roman Empire fell may be important.

Thanks.

This one was better:

As the great Spanish political theorist, Dalmacio Negro, writes, the true theory of government is always a theory of oligarchy. Find them, identify and rank their internal squabbles, and you have your constitution.
