Hey /his/. I was talking with a friend about abdication in the olden days.
Aside from pic related and (most of) the dictators of Rome, are there any notable examples of successful rulers stepping down once they've accomplished their goals to live a life largely away from the halls of power?

I honestly can't think of any.

I guess King Haakon of Norway stepped down but he didn't exactly abdicate, he became ill and recognised that he needed to teach his son to rule. Actual examples of monarchs abdicating while still mostly healthy and powerful are pretty rare. Diocletian was too based for this world.

Polk could be considered an example of this. He achieved the main platform he laid out in his campaign, and declined to run for a second term.
