Victoria. She and Alfred were apparently at it like Gomez and Morticia Addams before he passed.
So in order: don't know, Frederick the Great or that one English king, Ivan the Terrible, the medieval Habsburg, don't know and Alexander the Great?
Probably a quarter of all monarchs were on the speedball diet at some point because cocaine and opium was half of pharmaceuticals back then, but it's commonly claimed of Victoria for stomach troubles. The slice of desert thing was the whole Crusades business so you can chalk up at least a dozen monarchs, but special credit to Barbarossa for drowning while trying to cross a river in friendly territory.
That's kind of my point, these weren't just the really bad ones that the system worked around, it was also a lot of the ones considered capital-G Great by history that were extremely broken people because we were just kinda shit at producing non-broken people back then. Still rather are, to be honest.
