    Well, this has it's own form or search protection - I just entered the obvious google search parameters; King + lion, and got pages and pages of images from 'The Lion King' animation!

    Guessing, Robert I "The Bruce" had a beard and a single lion is a heraldic symbol of Scotland (among dozens of other European Kingdoms).

    Always wondered what he looked like under the mask

    That is correct.

    I probably still can't give you rep so can somebody do it for me?

    Ok, I'm going to start with an easy one. Name and office of the marked one ^^ (maybe his countrymen should refrain from answering )



    (The other pictures and the weird edition are to avoid Google Image cheating )

    That calm face, when the fascist mutineers were approaching Mardid, he must be Manuel Azana, the last president of the Spanish Republic, when Molla, Goded and Franco decided it was time for a nice, traditional pronunciamento. +1 for the effort to prevent the google cheating. I tested and indeed the search points towards the Prado museum.

    The anti Google cheating method is really just a 30 sec inconvenience if one wishes to cheat; save the image, crop it in Paint, upload to imgur.com, right-click search Google for this image.
