<p>[QUOTE=&quot;dougsmit, post: 7770158, member: 19463&quot;]Hmmm. Who can think of other examples where history might have favored a ruler having only one son?&nbsp; Of course we can also point out more than one example of a ruler killing his own son and sons killing their fathers.&nbsp; Do nice guys finish last?&nbsp; It is hard to find a nice guy to test the theory.&nbsp; Many will suggest Tiberius II as an example of a nice guy but others who measure success in economic terms fault him for giving away all the money in the Empire and setting up a system his successors could not have maintained had they desired to follow his lead.&nbsp; Some will say Antoninus Pius.&nbsp; Are there other candidates?[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
