Wow, I never knew <i>anything</i> about that before. Very interesting bit of history there. We never got to learn about cool stuff like that in school.

so, wait, lemme make sure I'm right here...<br><br>he was a real emporer at first, then he became poor, and then he was only the emporer in his mind but people still treated him like an emporer?<br><br>...wouldn't he still have been the emporer? I thought you didn't lose emporerhood until you died or had children.<br><br>hm... I don't know stuff.

Nah, from what I gather from the site, he was a trader with a pretty good fortune, gambled a lot on a trade deal, lost and became bankrupt.<br><br>He disappeared, and when he came back he declared himself Emperor.<br><br>Fascinating story, I'd never heard about him.

Hmmm...I took my AP US History exam today, and he wasn't mentioned in it! Odd how they would leave off such a prominent figure in our rich background!

Any characters in there that shouldn't be covered?

Ah, the next generation rediscovers The Emperor. I fear my handle will soon have an explanation.
