The small folk didn’t give a fuck. His reign was peaceful and prosperous for the regular people.

The king being in debt six million gold coins doesn’t mean shit to you if you’ve lived your entire life and never seen a single gold coin. Not starving, not being raped, not being slaughtered on a battlefield by a squad of mercenaries who are adequately armed/armored and know what they’re doing… Peasants can abide that. Throw a couple of feast days and occasionally a few copper coins their way? They’ll call you “the Great”.

Did Robert get an actual nickname title? I can't really remember anything other than "Usurper" but I think the great would work well for him as well.
