You resemble: Gustavus Adolphus


Biography:
Not only the king of Sweden but also the “Father of Modern Warfare,” Gustavus Adolphus was far ahead of the times in his ability to integrate infantry, cavalry, artillery and logistics, and essentially created the world’s first “professional” army, with permanent units, fixed chains of command, and standardized field maneuvers and training. His prowess at military strategy led to the rise of the Swedish Empire as a political power in the seventeenth century, and he essentially served as a soldier his entire life, from when he was first coronated as king at the age of 17 in 1611 to his death on the field at the Battle of Lützen in 1633. Perhaps no greater tribute can be made to his prowess as a tactician and leader than the fact that his forces went on to win the Battle of Lützen after his death, and his empire continued to prosper for decades afterwards.




Leadership Style:
Gustavus Adolphus would leave no stone unturned in training his army and preparing his soldiers for all possible scenarios, but he also had an aggressive streak—according to legend, he would often ride into battle without armor, shouting "The Lord God, is my armor!"

Hmm...interesting


You resemble: Charlemagne

Biography:
Probably the most influential commander of the Middles Ages, Charlemagne was King of the Franks and later emperor of the Holy Roman Empire. He is considered the “father of modern Europe” as he consolidated an empire that stretched across the continent, with his campaigns against the Saxons in Eastern Europe paving the way for the Ottoman Empire. With his usage of soldiers on horseback carrying superior long swords, Charlemagne would set the template for medieval mounted knights that would dominate warfare for the next century.

Leadership Style:
Charlemagne believed in thorough preparation as he made use of an intelligence network to scout out enemy strengths and weaknesses, but also placed confidence in his soldiers and their abilities once battles begun. He certainly did not lack for patience, as it took him nearly twenty campaigns and thirty years to finally subdue the Saxons and bring them under his rule.
