Mad King

A "Mad King" refers to a monarch who suffers from severe mental instability, which impacts their judgment, decision-making, and behavior. Historically, such rulers have exhibited erratic or irrational actions, often disregarding advice or the well-being of their people. The term highlights the contrast between power and mental health, suggesting that their leadership may be compromised due to untreated psychological issues. While not a clinical diagnosis, "Mad King" is used to describe monarchs whose mental health problems have visibly affected their reign, sometimes leading to chaos, instability, or downfall.
