But in his last years some will to reform the Kingdom seems to have sparked in him and he started an authoritarian phase from 1770-1774. It was too late for saving his dynasty but I like to think that this phase is getting represented in the harsher looking portraits his late coinage got.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
