Catherine the Great of Russia was considered among the so-called "enlightened despots" or enlightened monarchs." During the Age of Enlightenment several monarchs began to realize philosophically that their function was to rule for the the benefit of their subjects as much as for the benefit of themselves. In other words it wasn't just "me, me, me."

Catherine the Great, Frederick the Great of Prussia and Joseph II of Austria are the three most notable "enlightened despots."
