if people couldnt pay the money he needed he would force them to have *** with him, if they were male then they had to either hand over their wife/sister/daughter/closest female to him or commit their lives to him as a worker.

They shouldn't be cruel. At all even. To be cruel would be a purposeful abuse of power. This would, although essentially classify them as dictators, there are a few limitations to this, such as what we have. The "kings" in our country don't have total, all out power. Because of this, they are called Presidents. I quote-quoted kings because if we had kings, they would be able to rule for life and have a lot more power than just about all of us would be comfortable with. I didn't do this to presidents, however because they don't have seemingly unlimited power like most kings do. A king will only be cruel if his people let him.

Yes and no. In some ways, King John competed for power by killing, and some ways he respected his country.

Because in the old english peroid, leaders, dukes, princes, princesses, cows, queens, and kings had one thing in common. That is, to be exact, rudeness.

John Lackland was King Henry IIs younger son and younger brother of Richard I. Henry left no land to John in his will, hence the epithet Lackland. On the death of his elder brother Richard Lionheart, John was crowned king. John ruled from 1199 to his death in 1216. A cruel and savage king, John finally fell foul of the Barons who then rose against him.
