Recorded use
Wiktionary exampleThese source excerpts show how Maximilian appears in context. They illustrate usage; the definition above remains the entry’s reference meaning.
It is as well certainly not to call a parcel of idle and ragged young rogues by the titles of Augustus, Orlando, and Theodore: nor does it sound very fitting and heroical to hear a father cry out pompously to his little boy, as we did once, - "You, Sir, there, - Maximilian,- come out of the gutter."
