Well, I would have to call that a narrow win for the Russian.

Next up, we have the Holy Roman Emperor, versus an English Mercenary, famous for his ability.

 

Charlemagne (742-814)

He was an Emperor and King who brought most of Western and Central Europe under his reign by a variety of means including military conquest. But he is not famous for just this. He was also a main force in something called the Carolingian Renaissance which changed much of Europe by bringing about a new monetary system, educational reform and a renaissance of the arts including military arts and the art of siege. He is often considered to be the father of what is now modern Europe.

 

Charles enjoys hunting and fighting huge military wars, he also enjoys hot baths on cold winter evenings and wine tasting....

 

John Hawkwood (died 1394)-English

Little is known about the early years of John Hawkwood’s life, only that he was born an English commoner before he rose to prominence as a mercenary, serving the English in the Hundred Years War. He became the leader of the White Company of mercenaries, who, under his command, gained a reputation as being reliable and efficient soldiers. He sold his sword to the highest bidder, which was often a pricey competition as his fame and renowned battlefield prowess. It is unknown when and by whom he was knighted.

A little bit of a scoundrel, Hawkwood enjoys the lavish things in life and relaxing while people pay him not to fight them.
