A big takeaway for me from this book was that no matter how bad things got, the commoners found ways to excuse even mad kings. All blame was directed at nobility later below the king. The purpose of a monarch is to be blameless source of hope to idiot commoners in misery.https://twitter.com/ribbonfarm/status/1280245808529465344 …

Nehru-Gandhi family was the only monarchical dynasty in India for a while. When they were out of power the opposition never rose to monarchic optics (even though one, V. P. Singh, was actual royalty). That changed with Modi, the first non-NG monarch. Fortunately he has no kids.
