He wasn't ever retarded. Just a simple ploy to keep his political enemies guessing and unassuming. Let me ask you this? Was there ever a mass famine during his reign? No, because he was a man of agricultural genius. Even the poorest of pensent had a bowl full of bread no mater what. That is why no one overthrew him, the people loved him too much.
He pretended to be retarded as a ploy to have the Habsburg, Briish and the Dutch victorious against the Bourbons and eventually led Napoleon to power 100 years later
