Who unkinged himself for Popery. Swift. A blessed pair. Swift. No, not when he lost his kingdom or Popery. The King had ... friendship with Duke Hamilton. Swift. Vix intelligo. Swift. September 3d, always lucky to Cromwell. Swift How old was he when he turned a Papist, and a coward? Swift. Dubitat Augustinus. Swift. But proved a cowardly Popish king. P. 348, line 50. Swift. Scots. Swift.
That, and the doctrine of projectile forces, have been exemplified in a manner that will prevent me from ever relishing these subjects in future. No king can consider himself properly such until after he has received the oil of consecration; but you, it appears, think differently. You have unkinged me first, and anointed me afterwards; but, I say, no potentate would relish such unction.
A wreck of the once proud man who had despised all weakness, and had ruled his kingdom with imperial sway, he now stood alone. Broken in health and in spirit, deserted, forgotten, unkinged, he might well exclaim, "I am Lear!" By DUTTON COOK
There is this in great station, that it imparts to a man a bearing sedate in good times and debonair in evil. A king may be unkinged, as befell him whom in my youth we called the Royal Martyr, but he need not be unmanned. He has tasted of what men count the best, and, having found even in it much bitterness, turns to greet fortune's new caprice smiling or unmoved.
