Kings Can Do Everything, Even if they "can not", the monarch must give birth and raise an heir. Some historical figures with special powers of the process of making children liked nothing less than war, balls and all taxes. The more sons and daughters of the head of state - the higher the chance to live in people's memory forever. The more noble blood will be in the country, which, however, does not necessarily ennoble the country itself.
1. Genghis Khan
Borjigin Temujin, Genghis Khan widely known as the Mongols was the greatest of all time - a brilliant leader and commander, to lay face down in the 13th century almost half of Asia, from Siberia to Kashmir, from the Caspian Sea to Korea. Very cruel and very strong troops psychologist.
Its genetic material evenly distributed the Great Khan of the conquered territory. To his four sons, the official should be added to either 700, or one thousand children out of wedlock. The eldest son has left behind more than 40 sons. The heirs of Genghis Khan's Mongolia led up to the 1920s, in contemporary Kazakhstan Chingizids live and work so far. Overall, in Asia today has approximately 16 million descendants Temudgin.
2. Strong Augustus II
Friedrich August I of Saxony, also known as Augustus II strong in the 17-18 centuries, was the ruler of Saxony, and for 7 years and still grace of God King of Poland. Among his achievements - the transformation of Dresden in the Center for the Arts.
August was well educated and really strong physically. For example, he broke a horseshoe with his bare hands. But as governor he was weak and it is better that he left behind - it's 382 children out of wedlock and a legal heir. Rumor has it that someone of his bastards, His Majesty joined the incestuous relationship. Instead of lifting the economy. Golden statues of some people will not be hungry.

It is known for, that of Ramses were 111 sons and 67 daughters, and in honor of their wives pharaoh temples digging, construction of which completely ruined the treasury of Egypt - that it was after the pay mercenaries.
The crown prince Ramses the Great, his 13th son, Merneptah's death to the day daddy was 60 years old. Therefore, he reigned briefly - less than a decade, and his sons were only two.
Problem. Dano: It was my father's three sons - senior strong, medium smart, and younger - Ivan the Fool, who was sitting on the stove and catch flies. Calculate the probability of the birth of male babies named Ivan, who has prepared for his marriage to rock princess, in the case of an ordinary family, the dictator of Africa, which already has 67.5 children.
