He was a stamp collector and one of the most boring, but decent, men in Europe apparently; a fine king.

He also looked freakishly like Nicholas II but that might have just been the beard.

Fun little fact. Isabel is the Spanish equivalent of Elizabeth. So when we talk about Columbus going to the Spanish court of Ferdinand & Isabella,  it should really be Ferdinand & Elizabeth, or Fernando & Isabel.

That would be true if conversions of foreign names to English were consistent. But it is not. Because English.

Was he the father in "The King's Speech?"  Cuz he was shown as a dickhead in that flick.

That is the guy. He had no power over his country so he compensated by dominating his family like a tyrant. But so long as you were not one of his children he was a pretty agreeable dude.

George V returning from the dead might restore some of the fear for the monarchy people have been lacking for awhile now though.

And restore the pride of the dreadnoughts.
