Monarch: Difference between revisions

A '''monarch''' was an [[individual]] who ruled a [[monarchy]], whether it be a [[kingdom]] or [[empire]] or other system. Monarchs were often [[king]]s or [[queen]]s, [[prince]] or [[princesses]] or an assortment of local titles such as [[lord]] or [[master (title)|master]]. Typically, head-monarchs were the heads of [[royal families]], though some monarchies, particularly the [[Equestria]]n monarchy, had quite different traditions.

The last example wasn't always the case however, as there have been at least two, arguably three, examples of evil monarchs becoming good. These are [[King Charlatan]], who changed his evil ways after he harmed his son, [[Prince Edgar]], {{IDW|[[King Sombra}}]], who realized he wasn't truly an evil person and ended up wandering Equestria with his loverchildhood friend, [[Radiant Hope]] and the third arguable example was {{MLP|Scorpan}}, who was never actually evil but did evil things to protect {{MLP|Spike}} from certain doom by the hands of {{MLP|Tirek}}.

Villainous monarchs could be graceful and elegant in their own ways however, such as the hypnotically smooth, commanding presence of Tirek in "[[Rescue at Midnight Castle]]" and the sassy grace of {{IDWFIM|Queen Chrysalis}} during ''[[The Return of Queen Chrysalis]]''. Likewise, not every good monarch was exactly graceful or even friendly, such as the crude, but good-hearted {{FIM|Ember}} and the self-centered, but ultimately kind and compassion {{IDW|[[Prince Blueblood}}]].
