A little harsh? Perhaps our first constitutional monarch as per his reaction to Rochester's jibe (...our sovereign lord the KingWhose word no man relies on
He never said a foolish thing
Nor ever did a wise one)". - "Quite right! The words are my own and the actions my ministers'".
Very readable. T enjoy reading Jenny Uglow's biographies.
