"Unlike many other rulers, Charles never indulged in petty tyranny or intemperate rages simply because he was king and everybody else wasn’t. He saved his anger for important battles (like those with Parliament), and instead led his day-to-day life with mild and gentlemanly manners."
Susan Holloway Scott at Two Nerdy History Girls (source)
Oh Charles, you’re such a classy chap. And this time I’m not even being slightly sarcastic.
