My players favorite ruler they ever met was a crippled, emaciated dwarf king who could barely sit up right while wearing his crown because it was too heavy for his weak neck.
One of my players almost cried when that ruler died at the end of the campaign.
Go for it.
For more info: He was fairly young, considered wise and intelligent, and beloved by his people. He spoke softly and struggled to stand on his own, and died sacrificing himself for his people. When he was told that his advisor had been shown the future, where the king dies because he stood against the forces of a dark god, he was fine with that future because to him it was better to die standing for others than to live cowering on his throne.
