Renodox

Correct.

Okay, back to the ones from the game:

1. It flies without wings,
Strikes witout beak, teeth or talons.
It has no eyes, in its pointed head,
But it can kill birds in flight.

2. Up and down they go, but never move...

3. He gets short when he gets old.
He goes out then it gets cold.

You got the first two right but not the third.   This answer to this one does make more sense.

In case no one realized it, "Historical leader commonly found in burger joints," is the riddle.
No one cares to even hazard a guess?

No, it's not any of those.  This may be a difficult one since the term is a pun on a primarily American-used term.

King!

Renodox

Nope. This historical leader was not a king.  Good try though.

Hint 1:
Spoiler
This was a real historical figure and a specific one.
[close]

Hint 2:
Spoiler
By the prerequisite of being a king this figure could never have been one.

Hint 3:

Guess "Burger King" would have probably been too obvious...

Renodox

QuoteGuess "Burger King" would have probably been too obvious...

Yes.  THIS historical figure tends to show up in pretty much EVERY burger joint out there.  And to help this along a little...

Okay, it seems that I've stumped everyone with this one the answer is:

Spoiler
Joan of Arc (French Fries)
[close]

Stupot

Ahh, fair enough.  I thought of French fries, but couldn't make the link between that and a historical leader.  I even Googled things like 'fries', 'chips', 'mayonnaise' in case any historical leaders shared those names, haha.

BTW, @Armageddon, what was the answer to the 2 eyes no head riddle?  Was I right?
