Well, I decided to do a multi-part poll on who the members of the league thought was the greatest Catholic Monarch.
This is the first round, in which you can vote for as many candidates as you wish. We will then narrow down the candidates in later rounds until we have a winner. This round will end in one week.

Well not to blame him for it, but he did kind of lose the 30 Years War, causing the division of Christendom for the foreseeable future. Ehhh... I'm not the biggest fan.

Not sure if we're talking about the same Ferdinand. This is the Holy Roman Emperor who smashed the Protestants at the Battle of the White Mountain, reconverted Austria and Bohemia, and ultimately defeated Gustavus Adolphus. The Thirty Years war was lost after his death, when France entered the war. Well, never mind, you already have the best of the best on the poll.  |

I think you are right. My 30 Years War history is a tad rusty.
