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 :)

    I think it’s pretty similar to what makes a good person, empathy, kindness, that sort of stuff.

    A lot of the monarchs better thought of are the ones who made social reforms, bettering the lives of others much lower down the totem pole.

    Like all people, it’s kind of impossible to be all good, so even with the good ones there’s awful stuff there, but it’s all relative.
