Were there any selfless sibling...
We're there any selfless kings/queens or lords in regards to their younger siblings? (Any noble title really) Horribly worded.
I mean, being an older sibling and having younger siblings whilst being king can be a dangerous prospect even if you grew up together with love. The younger siblings can be twisted and be pitted against their older siblings. And you might be forced execute or exile them.
What I'm wondeing is if there were any king/queen (any title) that removed that source of conflict by not marrying and making their siblings their heirs?
Not because they were unable to have their own children but because they just chose that option. Welcome to hear any example that were done out of love.
