supremely fitted

Moody and irritable, he sniped at Carlota when she told people that all the arrangements were settled. Mortified by the sheer idea of refusing the crown, Carlota ignored his concerns, reassuring Maximilian that he was “supremely fitted” to be emperor. Despite his ambivalence, he knew she had made up her mind. - Maximilian and Carlota, pg. 117
...
He wrote a poem of lament, obliquely indicting Carlota's ambition for his troubles. - Ibid., pg. 122

еще очень познавательный отрывок из письма Хуареца, вернее его ответа Максимилиану, на стр. 116
