Agustín Cosme Damián de Iturbide y Arámburu

Hello James - another name and story from history that I missed.  Honestly, even though I have commented similarly in the past, I didn't sleep through history class.  

Hi James,

The Iron Dragon's long given name reminded me of Mandy Patinkin in the Princess Bride..."My name is Inigo Montoya...you killed my father...prepare to die!"  Comedy aside,  history is very interesting.  Thank you.

Good morning, James Dray 

That kind of sounds like a movie that I just watched with Jet Li where two masters thought he was serving them, but he had no master and destroyed them both, haha.

Good morning, James... the sad fate of many a political prisoner. But no doubt, he led an exciting life, albeit a short one.

Good morning James,

Much the same as today, pick your side carefully!

Make yourself an astonishing day.

Good morning James. Without a clue from the first sentence. And the name had me thinking I was at the wrong post. You got me on this one. Enjoy your day!

Thank you very much, James, for sharing this story.

Take care, be safe and have an outstanding week.

Well that one got me totally lost.

James,

I had no idea of this man's existence, let alone his accomplishments.  In the picture that Barbara Todaro shared, his uniform is simial to something you would see on Napoleon.  Happy Sunday.  A

And Agustín Cosme Damián de Iturbide y Arámburu had quite the long name

Hi James- As my cousin used to say...compensation...what goes around comes around. 

I either slept throught this history lesson in my youth or it wasn't taught to me at all. Thanks for introducing me/us to Agustin James Dray .

Wow I am so glad I stopped in another valuable historical trivia I would have missed, thank you James.

Hi James:

That was an interesting read about a rather colorful individual who led quite the life, although a short one.

Dear James,

It would be great, if his dad had indeed given birth, but I am sure, he had a mom as well. Too bad he involved civilians in his military conflicts, especially women & children. But then, innocents are always the victims of wars.

I am sure a lot of politicians do not mind calling themselves King of something.  In China the aristocrat's decendends do not have the same prestige as they have in Europe. When asked they will tell you.

Thank you, James Dray, for the glimpse into the history of early Mexico under Spanish rule.
