the New Irish Beauty: "Born in 1868, Constance Gore-Booth grew up with her sister in Sligo. . . Rich and beautiful---she made her debut at the court of Queen Victoria, and was dubbed 'the new Irish beauty'---she could have had and done anything she wanted. . . [W]hat she wanted was to be a rebel, and what she did was (sic) shock proper Anglo-Protestant society." (Robbins: 178)
Constans II of Byzantine Empire (630-668)
Konstantinos Pogonatos (Constantine the Bearded)
"His official name actually became Heraclius Constantine, Constans ('Little Constantine') being a nickname for Constantine, not a real name like that of Constantine's son Constans I. A few modern scholars more correctly call him not Constans II but Constantine III, referring to his father as Constantine II. Heracleonas seems also to have called himself Constantine on his coins, creating problems of attribution for numismatists that may never be solved." (Treadgold, p. 925)

grandson of Constantius Chlorus

"Constantius I (c.AD 250-306) was an emperor of the west. Of Illyrian stock, he was named Flavius Valerius Constantius; his nickname Chlorus ('Green') was not contemporary with him. . . ." (Hazel: 81)
the Cleric.
"Joint rule. "After Maelseachalinn, there was, according to some authorities, an interregnum, during which the principal management of affairs were vested in two regents—as we may style them—Cauin O'Lochain, the poet, and Corcoran, the cleric." Ua Clerigh, page 388. U1024.3 Cuán ua Lothcháin, chief poet of Ireland, was killed in Tethba by the men of Tethba themselves. The party that killed him became putrid within the hour. That was a poet's miracle." (McGough. Irish Kings
Cormac Ulfada (long beard): " . . . He was styled Cormac Ul-fada, either on account of his wearing a long beard, i.e., 'uleha fada;' or from the phrase 'Ula a bh-fad (U ll-vad), which means far or remote from Uladh; for he had been for ten years banished from Ulster or Uladh, by the Ulidians, who had inflicted many evils upon him previous to his accession to the Irish monarchy." (Keating. History of Ireland: 328)

il Vecchio (the Elder, the Old): "Giovanni's son, Cosimo (1389-1464), Cosimo il Vecchio (the old or first Cosimo), is considered the real founder of the political fortunes of the family. In a political struggle with another powerful family, the Albizzi, Cosimo initially lost and was banished, but because of the support of the people he was soon recalled, in 1434, and the Albizzi were banished in turn. Although he himself occupied no office. Cosimo ruled the city as uncrowned king for the rest of his life. Under his rule Florence prospered." (The Galileo Project)
the Tyrant of Florence: "'Tyrant of Florence' was the designation which best fitted the new ruler. He destroyed the fabric of society and polluted the sanctity of family life. . . ." (Staley. The Tragedies of the Medici)
the Father of His Country (It. il Padre della Patria; Lat. Pater Patriae): " . . . With his son Cosmo begins the splendid series of the celebrated Medici; and his brother Lorenzo was the ancestor of the Grand Duke of Tuscany. Cosmo laid it down as a rule never to distinguish himself in his mode of living by expense or by a splendor that would excite envy. His superfluous wealth he expended upon public buildings, with which he adorned Florence, and in a splendid munificence, not only towards his adherents, but also towards artists and learned men. It would have been easy for him, who in Europe was considered the prince of Florence, to ally himself with princes, but he married his sons and daughters to the daughters and sons of Florentine citizens. In later years the imperious Lucca Pitti gave him much trouble. With wisdom he managed the foreign affairs of the republic, in its difficult relations with Naples, Milan, and Venice, in which his commercial connections with all countries and his vast credit firmly supported him. Cosmo won the honored title of the father of his country. . . ." (Peake. History of the German Emperors and Their Contemporaries: 231)
" . . . By a public decree shortly before his death he was honored with the title of pater patriae, and the appellation was inscribed on his tomb. . . ." (Ripley and Dana. The new American Cyclopædia, Vol 11: 340)
