Well, the murder of ANY human being is generally considered to be a terrible crime, monarch or not.

However, killing a head of state is considered particularly heinous, for reasons that should be obvious - the sudden death of a head of state can send a less-than-stable government into chaos, especially if that head of state was a despot - it creates a power vacuum.

Furthermore, in European monarchies, it was believed that the monarch was chosen by God for their position, and ruled by divine right. Accordingly, acting against a monarch was considered an act against God, and to kill a Monarch, one was thought to be directly thwarting God's will.
