As someone who studies kingship and the idea of rulers to my fellow scholars who also study this stuff: why this incessant and persistent twee woobification of kings and queens?
This is in relation to medieval studies. Also I don’t follow anyone who says this stuff. I am critiquing my field.

Fair enough. I like to read about history but I’m not formally educated in it beyond high school. Serious Q tho, do you think there is any link between the behaviour you are criticising, and the fawning attitude of some towards extant monarchies?

Yes I do. I think it’s all part of the same mentality. But the people who study it, who study the mechanisms behind why royalty works to fool the populace, I think they should know better. Instead they feed into it further.
