You mean like the king of Nepal? Or what about the Kaiser of Germany during WWI? The Russian royal family did some pretty nasty things too.
The point here is not whether republics or monarchies are more brutal, but that power and ideology corrupt.
Just out of interest, the countries at the top of the table for both social and economic freedom are both republics.
