Reply to comment by TheNightIsLost in TIL: Zhu Youcheng is the only emperor in Chinese history, to be married to one wife and remain faithful to her, having no concubines. He was a hardworking emperor, lowering taxes, reducing spending, and demonstrating tolerance for Muslims. His son, however, had a haram so large, some starved. by Flares117

Most of Alexander’s accomplishments were basically set up by his father like the army innovations or getting Greece behind him.

Those were not his accomplishments, those were just some of the tools he used to set up his accomplishments.

I can't argue that if not for daddy dearest, Alex wouldn't have been able to start to become a great conqueror until he was in his 40s.
