A quote from Abd-ar-Rahman III who ascended the throne when he was twenty-two years of age and reigned for half a century as the most powerful prince of the Umayyad dynasty in Iberia (Spain)…
I have now reigned about 50 years in victory or peace, beloved by my subjects, dreaded by my enemies, and respected by my allies. Riches and honors, power and pleasure, have waited on my call, nor does any earthly blessing appear to have been wanting to my felicity. In this situation, I have diligently numbered the days of pure and genuine happiness which have fallen to my lot. They amount to fourteen.
This guy became king (or whatever they called it there) at age 22 and reigned for 50 years. As he says, he had everything the world could offer but still didn’t find much happiness.
