Well, there was Sigismund I the Old, who is the only Polish king of the 16th century who seems to qualify in terms of length of reign. He became king in 1506 at 39 and lived to be 81 -- quite an advanced age for the period. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sigismund_I_the_Old Oct 12 06, 5:05 PM

Yes, it was Sigismund the Old. I think there are better nicknames, but there are also worse... Oct 12 06, 7:03 PM
