Hi jeroen,
You are right, but I only noted that he ended up on the losing side, I didn't say he was unsuccessful. From everything I've read about him (not that much!), he was very shrewd.
I don't think you can connect the dots from his time to now in terms of dominance but it is an interesting theory.
