Meet Wladyslaw I, King of Poland (1261-1333). Also known as Wladyslaw the Elbow-High.
Dude reunited Poland and was actually a pretty decent ruler for the age. But what he's really remembered for is being a short-ass. Given his expression above I'm guessing he wasn't thrilled about being Mr 'Elbow-High'.
Handy Tip: upon becoming ruler of any dominion, avoid becoming historical laughing-stock and adopt awe-inspiring nickname to downplay any physical shortcomings one may have.
(Ha! See what I did there? Shortcomings!)
