I'm working on how you put Catherine and not Peter the Great on there. Temporary insanity? She can't hold a candle to Old Pete.
Oh, and the best King of France was Richelieu. :D

Don't forget King Herbert and King Frederick.
My vote goes to Saladin.
Baldwin the Leper comes in close second. Too bad he was a leper and didn't live longer.

Ahmenhotep IV (Akhnaton).
Didn't Barbarossa drown because he didn't take his armor off before jumping in to a river?
Akhenaton? You may as well include Nero. Akhenaton made everybody unhappy, and created for us that most hateful of ideas: monotheism!

He also managed to unite Germany for a very short time. Too bad he couldn't stick around.
