Explanation:
in the beginning was King Harry -- a modest sort who surely never expected to mount a throne. That can't be said of King Lyndon or King Richard -- both of whom became intoxicated by their lofty perch and, in the end, paid dearly for this character flaw. King Ronald seemed to combine regal purpose with a rare ability to wear the crown lightly, and King Bill proved, in his aw-shucks way, to be as casually high-handed as any of his predecessors.
