3) Reference to the Carolingian dynasty of East Frankish/HRE/... rulers (of Charlemagne fame), Duchy of Bohemia was their tributary for a while under Wenceslaus's father (and partly under him as well I think?). [[Special:Contributions/141.101.98.52|141.101.98.52]] 20:16, 17 October 2020 (UTC)

== Could this be a reference to Wenceslaus IV? ==
 
 
Just occurred to me that Black Hat may be taking a jab at the "idle" rule of King Wenceslaus the 4th - with his death followed by the Hussite Wars, which his questionable rule contributed to.
 
 
While it's a far stretch to say he ''personally'' massacred Black Hat's "people" - I'd say its within the realms of Black Hat's twisted Machiavellian ways to imply he had an indirect hand in it and bounce that off carollers for fun (while keeping the nuances to himself).
 
 
Sketchy, of course... but what part of Black Hat isn't?
 
 
Any opinions?
