St. Brice's was against foreigners in the English lands, not the king's own people, Smedley. The "awful" monarchs of Germany were only because there was no single powerful monarch or an organized aristocracy.

You let them in your lands and take taxes from them, they are settlers yes, but they are your folk.

Yes and what happened when the monarchs (who killed over 11 million in the span of thirty years in the 1600s) were replaced with a centralized monarchy? WW1.

A well-regulated monarchy with some restrictions seems to be the best form of government. Democracy is plagued with lobbyists and huge corporations that can sway the peoples' vote on a whim. The majority of the population is not educated enough to vote. A monarch and a group of aristocrats, voted in by highly educated, property owning individuals, would defend personal liberty more than a democratic form of government.

An aristocracy would eliminate corruption in the government. If already wealthy people held power, they would not be enticed by lobbyists or bribes, they stand to gain nothing from betraying their people just to get a little extra money.

A monarch would be educated their whole life on how to rule, and royal family would ideally being (genetically) intelligent and fit to rule. A monarchy also has the benefit of knowing who is next in line for power, so power struggles are limited.

And Smedley you're wrong, and beginning to sound retarded. Kings have been historically better rulers than non-monarch dictators. There are a few bad examples as with any form of government. No system is perfect but a monarchy is the best system for preserving personal libert.

Stop being dumb, the monarchs or history weren't benevolent rulers as you like to paint them. They waged war, taxed heavily, and gave handouts to their friends.

Now what is the verdict on kings by someone who lived in a time filled with them?

“kings are carnivorous, rapacious, a brigand, a destroyer, solitary, hated by all, a pest to all…”

Sounds like some presidents I know....Also sounds like Churchill. But you'll just continue with your cherry picking.

Lol now you're blaming a form of governance for the individual actions of some people. Well if we're going to be that retarded then republics are responsible for the 9 million German civilian casualties following ww2.

Kek, I see you can't find the connection between monarchs constantly fighting and them being rich monarchs ,who have never had to fight, or actually work, so they dedicate their careers to destroying and fighting.

The vast majority of monarchs either piggy backed off of real generals, or stayed back and let them do as they want. Either way, they would not take lives with their hands the majority of the time.
