What rulers in history have been what might be termed a genius? As in they were significantly skilled in most areas they attempted to act (i.e. administration, foreign policy etc).

I ask because this damnable idea for a timeline just won't get out of my head (seriously keeps coming back to the same basic points for the past month or so) but I know that having a king do all the things I want him to do would be a bit unrealistic, so I was hoping that having rulers win the genetic and educational lottery has actually happened.

Any ideas?
