He ruled with an iron fist and an aggressive tone when it came to his empire. He had a large empire and a large army to defend it and gain new land. The immense wealth of his land and his nobles demonstrated his power and was sometimes rather overbearing. He easily became the most powerful and hardest working ruler in Europe. He did not trust many people and would not allow anyone to help him; as a true absolute monarch would.
