“ Much of the outward business of kingship came naturally. ”
He was more than comfortable with the language of imperious persuasion.
~ Dan Jones
The king's only interest in government was a pious but simpleminded desire for reproachment
He wasn't an especially charismatic or commanding individual, but what he lacked in personality he emphatically made up for in diligence.
Here was a king who saw his subjects as peers and allies around whom he had growing up rather than semi-alien entities to be suspected and persecuted.
