Using the same monarch for multiple categories is allowed. Non biological relatives like step parents can be included.

For those with multiple people that they have relationships with, like children for example, it is ok can focus on only one child if that relationship in particular was the best.

Which French monarch had the best relationship with his wife?

Creating another chart because it kinda serves as my motivation to post consistently to this sub tbh lol. Inspired by a r/presidents competition https://www.reddit.com/r/Presidents/comments/1qoy4f5/final_list_any_suggestions_for_changes_or_is_it/ .

Using the same monarch for multiple categories is allowed, feel free to offer suggestions for the blank spaces

Edit: Meant for relationship between individual(s) in particular, so if King is good to one wife but not the other it can still apply, post title will be changed for next time

Most of these monarchs were violent and selfish medieval warriors, so consider this less who was a "good person" and more so out of these indecent people, who had the most of this positive trait.

Only rule is that no duplicates are allowed, so try to be a little strategic and save a monarch for the category that suits them best, even if they can apply for several.

Louis XVI has been chosen for Humility

Louis IX has been chosen for Charity

Louis VII has been chosen for Chastity

Henry IV has been chosen for Kindness

The eldest son of the future Philip VI of France and Joan of Burgundy, whose father became king when he was nine. When John became king, France faced several significant problems, such as the Black Death, rebellions known as Jacqueries, looting by free companies, and the Hundred Years' War with England. John tried to enact some military ordinances, economic reforms, and founded the Order of the Star, though without much success. He suffered a disastrous defeat against England, where he and his son Philip were captured, and his eldest son Charles served as his regent. He was forced to sign the Treaty of Bretigny, where France would pay a huge ransom and give territorial concessions. When John returned to France to raise money for the ransom after learning his son Louis escaped captivity, he went back to England, where he died.
