None whatsoever, although Hamlet by William Shakespeare contains the quotation "I must be cruel to be kind." It makes a difference, you know.
In Act 4 Scene 2 lines 18-19 , the thane of Ross describes the times as cruel. He gives the reason as having to be traitorsto the King of Scotland, whom theoretically they must respect. He also indicates that all the chaos keep people from knowing themselves. And he identifies the role of rumor, for creating a climate of general, unspecified fear.

To answer your question correctly, you must first remember that we have to judge the ancient rulers by their own standards and not by ours. There was no such thing as a "kind" ruler in the ancient world. The "good emperors/kings" would not hesitate to slit an opponent's throat if they thought he presented a danger. Cleopatra was neither kind nor cruel, but some of her actions, especially the killing of her brother and sister, are positively cruel to us.
