Jim Tinndahn
Jan Leif Tinndahn (born 27 January 1961), also known as "Big Jim" and "''Solkongen''" ("Sun King"), is a Danish outlaw biker and gangster who served as the president of the Bandidos Motorcycle Club in Europe between 1994 and 2012.

He struggled in school as a result of dyslexia, and was reportedly quiet and introverted. Tinndahn instead took an interest in mopeds, and he later trained as a mechanic, an occupation from which he was granted early retirement due to spinal arthritis. Despite disapproval from his parents, Tinndahn, along with his brother, became involved with outlaw motorcycle clubs at the age of seventeen, joining and later serving as president of the 666 club. He married and fathered three sons. [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Absolute Monarchy
Absolute monarchy (or Absolutism as a doctrine) is a form of monarchy in which the monarch rules in their own right or power. In an absolute monarchy, the king or queen is by no means limited and has absolute power, though a limited constitution may exist in some countries. These are often hereditary monarchies. On the other hand, in constitutional monarchies, in which the authority of the head of state is also bound or restricted by the constitution, a legislature, or unwritten customs, the king or queen is not the only one to decide, and their entourage also exercises power, mainly the prime minister. Absolute monarchy in Europe declined substantially following the French Revolution and World War I, both of which led to the popularization of theories of government based on the notion of popular sovereignty. Absolute monarchies include Brunei, Eswatini, Oman, Saudi Arabia, Vatican City, and the individual emirates composing the United Arab Emirates, which itself is a fe ...
