yes, they were decent considering the circumstances. also marie antoinette was very highly regarded and loved in her time. it was only through lies and character assassination that her reputation was ruined.  simple fact is that the monarchs did too good a job at protecting their people from harm. the system needed to be destroyed so it could be replaced by a feeble system of critics and clerks interested in financial gain and power. it was probably the beginning of the end for europe and human civilization in general. imagine what things would be like today if our culture and society was not subverted by those who hate us and are jealous of what we have/had.
