What made them be able to crossover to the public or dominate enough to fight or steal power? What personality and character traits do they share? Were they seen as "from the heartland"? Or classic strong men that appealed to working class people to protect them from other countries? Or were they more liberal that matched with the national open way of life? Did they come from Royal Family or old wealth with land, and expected to rule? Or regular village people who worked their way up to power?
