Whether or not he's an asshole is irrelevant to the discussion. He represented his kingdom poorly and as a result could potentially have cost his kingdom dearly had the other kd had a less kindly monarch at the helm. I'm not advocating defending kingdoms roll over for attacking kingdoms. I'm just saying his handling of the diplo was atrocious to start with, his actions contradicted his words on a number of issues, and he acted rather rashly in his handling of obtaining the cf in the end, which could easily have bit him in the ass.
