Pippin of Heristal (635-714)
Pippin II of Heristal: "Pepin whom the moderns have surnamed of Heristal, from the name of the castle which he often inhabited, near Liege, and on the banks of the Meise, had triumphed over kings in the name of the high aristocracy. . . ." (The French Under the Merovingians: 175)

Pippin of Landen.

"Known since the thirteenth century as Pippin of Landen (from the name of one of his domains), but better termed Pippin the Elder or Pippin I, this noble also came from an immensely wealthy landed family. . . Pippin had married Itta, sister of Modoald, the future bishop of Trier. She was a wealthy heiress and celebrated, as one text reports, 'on account of her virtues, the extent of her lands and the number of her slaves. . . ."

Pompey of Rome.

the Great: "Now he had established himself in Rome but the laurels of a Roman strongman requited constant refreshment. His nickname 'Magnus'---the Great---was at least partly sarcastic. As a boy he had worshipped Alexander the Great, and his Homeric, heroic kingship, along with the unconquered provinces and prizes of the East, would henceforth prove irresistible to every Roman oligarch on the make." (Montefiore: 76)

the Young Butcher: " . . . Gnaeus Pompeius, the most powerful man in Rome, was a maverick commander who without official position had led his private army to victory in the Roman civil wars in Italy, Sicily, and North Africa. He had celebrated two Triumphs and won vast wealth . . . Pompey was, wrote the historian Sallust, 'honest in face, shameless in heart,' and his early sadism and greed in the civil wars had earned him the nickname 'the young butcher.'. . . ."

Peter I of Russia

the Great:

--" . . . Peter the Great is probably the most famous member of the Romanov family. He single-handedly changed the course of Russian history, turning the country into a powerful empire ranking alongside the other European powers. The imperial period of Russian history begins with Peter I." (Royal Russia)

--" . . . Ivan gladly gave up his claim to the throne, which was now mounted by Peter, the creator of the present greatness of Russia, and to whom history has given the appellation of Great. In a brief time he transformed the entire nation.  Russia became the most powerful empire of Northern Europe, and henceforth regarded herself, and was generally regarded, as a leading member in the family of European states. . . .' (Peake: 410)

Pyotr Bagration (Prince).

the Glory of the Russian Army: "Prince Peter Bagration was one of the best tactical commanders in Europe during the Napoleonic Wars. His rearguard actions in Moravia in 1805 and Poland in 1807 were truly remarkable. However. he also demonstrated poor strategic abilities in 1812. He was a man of an uncontrolled, ambitious and violent temper, who expressed his feelings in a passionate manner. He was one of the most beloved generals in the Russian army and was often called 'the Glory of the Russian Army' (S. Volkonsky) and 'Bog'rati-on'---'the God of the Army' (G. Derzhavin)." (Mikaberidze: 18)

the God of the Army (Bog-rati-on): Pyotr Bagration, while among the population he was known as 'Bog-rati-on', 'The God of the Army.' Disciple of the legendary Field Marshal Alexander Suvorov, he was a symbol of the Russian military triumphs. Only a few contemporary commanders were as popular as General Peter Bagration. His military career was astonishing. During thirty years of his army service, Bagration fought in almost hundred and fifty battles and minor actions, successfully commanding at all unit levels. In the 1812 Campaign he was commander-in-chief of the 2nd Western Army and as a result of his successful retreat, he was able to unite with 1st Western Army at Smolensk and oppose Napoléon at Borodino." (Mikaberidze)

"Bagration's military achievements had brought him great glory. 'The God of an army' ("Bog [the God]-rati [army]-on [he is]") - thus was he named in the Russian army. Bagration's name was widely known not only in Russia, but also is far beyond its boundaries." (Mikaberidze)

" . . . Bagration showed such a tactical skill, charisma, and commanding presence that he earned the nickname of God of the Army." (Nicholls: 13)

Pyrrhus of Epirus.

the Eagle; the Eagle of Epirus: "Pyrrhus was much admired by the Epirotes who called him the 'Eagle' because of his great courage on the battlefield. When he heard this he told his soldiers 'It is because of you that I am an eagle, because your arms are my wings'." (Pyrrhus the Eagle)
