I always prefer a Monarch in the same way as a PB&J -in bread.

Joking aside; it appears he wasn't highly regarded when considering his unceremonious handling at burial.

He wasn't ...."Other wounds included slashes or stabs to the face and the side of the head. There was also evidence of "humiliation" injuries, including a pelvic wound likely to have been caused by an upward thrust of a weapon, through the buttock."
