I wanted something with Byzantine and I didn't know what to put it with so I just put prince for no reason.

My nick is a shortform of my official nick in MP [SG]_LeChevalier. I like Medieval Knights as they look cool in their armour and also ironically, i served in an armoured regiment during my national service days

Long time since this came up. OK, here we go...

Mouzafphaerre is the bastardization (with fake French spelling) of Muzaffer, which originally is مضفر, which means "victorious, triumphant". I used to play a very totalwar-like windows shareware, World Empire, in which you were supposed to conquer the modern world for your faction as a general and Muzaffer Postal (the triumphant boots) sounded funny to me at that time, for a generals name. Come the age of internet, I needed an alias for forums etc. and just shortened & bastardized it.

Hayreddin Barbarossa was chosen for the naval/pirate themed games and became more famous than Mouzafphaerre.

Mao Dun, I'm using only at the Emperor RotMK forum.
