As something of a history buff I’ve read about a fair few Kings and Queens through history. There are many of them, most mediocre, a lot of them objectively bad, however, now and again one stands out from the masses as a good one.

So, what (according to you) makes a good monarch? Feel free to point to a particular person, or event as an example :)

    If titles are anything to go by, murderizing an absolute shitzillion of people makes monarchs pretty great.

      He’d apparently been quite heroic during those wars; you could tell because a great number of his troops had died, while he lived.”
