It was a sampling of how royal families react to their people in distress. You don’t think Buckingham Palace was built with 100% private funds nothing coming from taxation do you? The fact is through most of history the coffers or royalty and the coffers of the land they governed were the same, and primarily supported with taxation and profits from conquest (when conquest was profitable).
No good comes from making power venereally transferred.
What do you think our government is supported with, rose water? Name me a monarchy where taxation went up from zero to near 50% in a hundred years.
