What are the weaknesses of monarchy?

What are the consequences of breaking the law in a absolute monarch?
A constitutional monarchy is a form of government led by a ruler within the dictates of a constitutional document. In reality, America is being governed as a constitutional monarchy--the rulers just happen to be the President, Congress, and Supreme Court. If legal laws within the dictates of the constitution are broken, the offending party will be punished. However, if the legal laws are unlawful and in violation of one's God-given Natural Rights there should be no punishment. There is no "legal" law enacted by men and women in government that can violate one's "lawful" law Natural Rights from God/Nature/Universe.
Tradition is that Mary, the sinless virgin mother did not die. Because she was born without original sin (the state of sinfulness passed down from Adam and Eve) she did not die.

Mary 1was the daughter of Henry VIII and ruled England for only 5 years between 1553 and 1558. She was a Roman Catholic and repealed her fathers laws and the Church of England returned to the jurisdiction of Rome. She also revived the Heresy Acts which resulted in the execution of many Protestants some being burned at the stake. The Queen never actually killed anyone. She simply signed the orders for execution.
After her death leading Protestant writers gave her the nickname "Bloody Mary" as a way of tarnishing her reputation. It seems that they had some success??

Since Theseus is a mythological figure, and cannot be directly tied to an actual person (his reign would have been during the bronze age, before the recording of history as we know it), no dates are given. However, we know that his son, Acamas, was sent on his behalf to fight in the Trojan War, which was esitmated to have been fought between 1194 and 1184 BC. So it's safe to assume that Theseus reigned from the mid 12th to late 12th century BC.
Was King Edward the third a bad king?
I think whether Edward I was good or bad would depend on who you ask. Clearly there were Scots, Welsh, and Jews who had reason to despise him, and some of his own subjects felt the same way. But he seems to have worked toward a better constitution for the government and better laws; some people admire that.
She was his great-grandaughter. Yes that is true, yet this might help even more! Henry VIII had a younger sister named Princess Mary (NOT BLOODY MARRY).
