Donald Trump is currently ranked as one of the worts Presidents in US History. Will uture Historians group him in with the most notorious "Mad Kings" in History? Time will tell, but until then we can study the Mad Kings a look for similarities:
- King George III of Great Britain (1738-1820) was King of Great Britain and Ireland from 25 October 1760 until his death in 1820. During his reign, the Acts of Union 1800 merged Great Britain and Ireland into the United Kingdom. He also lost the American Colonies in 1776.He was concurrently duke and prince-elector of Hanover in the Holy Roman Empire before becoming King of Hanover on 12 October 1814. He was the first monarch of the House of Hanover who was born in Great Britain, spoke English as his first language, and never visited Hanover.
- King Charles VI of France (1368-1422) 3 December 1368 – 21 October 1422), nicknamed the Beloved (French: le Bien-Aimé) and in the 19th century, the Mad (French: le Fol or le Fou), was King of France from 1380 until his death in 1422. He is known for his mental illness and psychotic episodes that plagued him throughout his life, including glass delusion.
- King Louis the Fat of France (1 December 1081 – 1 August 1137) reigned as King of the Franks from 1108 to 1137. Like his father Philip I, Louis made a lasting contribution to centralizing the institutions of royal power. He spent much of his twenty-nine-year reign fighting – either against the "robber barons" who plagued the Île-de-France, or against Henry I of England for the English continental possessions in Normandy.
- Emperor Caligula of Rome (12-41 AD) the third Roman emperor, ruling from AD 37 until his assassination in AD 41.
- Czar Ivan IV of Russia Ivan the Terrible (1530-1584) Grand Prince of Moscow and all Russia from 1533 to 1547 and the first Tsar and Grand Prince of all Russia from 1547 until his death in 1584. Ivan's reign was characterised by Russia's transformation from a medieval state to a fledgling empire, but at an immense cost to its people and long-term economy.
- King Christian VII of Denmark and Norway ( 1749-1808) King of Denmark and Norway and Duke of Schleswig and Holstein from 1766 until his death in 1808. He was affected by mental illness and was only nominally king for most of his reign.
