    This appears to be a question that is purposely subjective, with the intent of providing the author an opportunity to dump all their knowledge on the subject without worry of being objectively wrong (as long as the argument can be supported). This is great for school essays, but is simply not the kind of question we can field here. Our format requires objectively answerable questions. If your own research on this topic turns up a question that looks objectively answerable, feel free to ask that here.

    @PieterGerkens I disagree; It is very well possible to objectively summarize the contemporary public opinion of well-known figures. JMS's answer demonstrates this. Although I do not think that there is any historical basis for the claims quoted in the OP (minor setbacks like being deposed as governor for cruelty aside). And although the OP shows little evidence of any effort to substantiate the claim before asking as stipulated in the How to Ask in the Help Center.
