Talk:Mor'du/@comment-31202370-20170404115049

Alright, so here's a Brain Blast connection for you that's gonna stun you, because it's not a fanon, its a legitimate theory. So Mor'du was the eldest son of a large kingdom, which was divided into three peices when the former king died, instead of going to the eldest son, as per usual. The eldest son, enraged by the fact that he had essentially recieved one third of what he had been promised all his life, started a war with his brothers, causing the downfall of the kingdom. So here's the theory. Based on the time period in which the film takes place, with both Vikings and Romans being mentioned, between 450CE and 600CE, Mor'du is very likely Constantine II, the eldest son of Constantine the Great, and the Ancient Kingdom of the nursery rhyme is the Roman Empire, simplified into a kingdom for the legend, since the term "empire" had likely fallen off due to the rise of fuedal kingdoms in the middle ages. This fits because Constantine the Great broke tradition by splitting the Roman empire among his three sons rather than handing it off to his eldest, and his eldest son, Constantine II, started a war with his brothers over the rule of Rome, leadin to the overall size of Rome being reduced to less than half of its size under Constantine the Great in a period of less than fifty years. So in conclusion, the Ancient Kingdom is Rome, and Mor'du's real name is Constantine II.
