the rise and fall of kings!

The funny thing about kings is that through the act of few, they rise to the level of creating a dynasty, and through the acts of collective very many fall and eventually become a note in history.

Kings are always a dying breed, but not on their times.... its their future legacies and ultimately history which pegs an end to them.

important to learn the right stuff from history, not what the textbooks say, coz historians have an unique 'ability' to logically fit events and sequences and even fill in any blanks in the form of 'facts' i.e. superimposing their opinions or the political need of the hour. if you are able to filter these from the rough sketch of the real king, then the results and learnings can be surprising. your thoughts on particular king would probably be an open ended to draw your own conclusion... which is the exact opposite of what history states. Note: Learn, and Unlearn.
