Max of Mexico? How did he get into the finale? I mean, he's tragic and sympathetic and all that, but as a ruler, being deposed and shot by the revolution sort of is a judgment of its own...
Anyway, MT is not a bad choice, but I do want to know whether any Habsburgs predating the 18th century were an option? And did it have to be a ruling monarch or were regents also allowed, in which case I'm nominating my girl Margaret of Austria (since there were several Margarets of Austria, I mean Charles V's aunt and Maximilian I's daughter), and both Mary of Hungary and Margaret of Parma while I'm at it, and I know Mildred would go for Leopold the competent middle child, reformer of Tuscany and short lived Emperor, Joseph's younger brother, as part of the competition.
