:-) All good references. I remember reading of most of these poor louts in my various trips through the medieval history section. Henry V died a particularly deserved death, IMO. These days, despite being lionized in Shakespeare and elsewhere, he would be classified as a textbook sociopath, though he absolutely pales in comparison to most of the Tsars.

One more I will submit for good fun: my old favorite, Charles the Bad (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Charles_the_Bad) of Navarre.
