So everybody including popes agree that the Jesuits are the problem, but the Jesuits say everybody else is the problem. Hmmm

The pope gave in to the monarchs' complaints and politics (also to prevent schisms) and ordered Jesuits not to operate and the monarchs had all the control over the people that they wanted, including confiscating the Jesuit properties. The complaining monarchs got their way but it didn't stop the monarch's political problems (or re 'the Bourbon monarchs' their downfall) by getting rid of the Jesuits. The monarchs still had problems ruling the people. The Jesuits' restoration under Pius VII (1814) was regarded as their divine vindication from the monarch's complaints and suppression.

When looking at his life, I found it interesting that the cannon ball that caused Ignatius to have to be stationary for healing led him to spend time reading about lives of the saints and getting inspired by their example to focus on his own relationship with God and changed the course of his entire life away from the life of a nobleman and to serving God and taking the vow of poverty.

They murdered many more people than just Monarchs:

The Jesuits' restoration under Pius VII (1814) was regarded as their divine vindication

No it was regarded as a result of their poisoning Pope Clement.

The Catholic Church recognizes true martyrdom as faithful witness to Christ (CCC 2474). Alban Butler's 'Lives of the Saints' provides verified accounts of Catholic martyrs (including under Protestant regimes). The Church views Foxe's accounts as propagandistic, highly partisan, and points to its reliance on unverified eyewitnesses and document mutilation. That propaganda book was especially used in England. In the middle ages monarchs used religion for their politics.

The last Pope to bear the name Clement was Pope Clement XIV, who died in 1774, and if Jesuits' were restored in 1814 you have no connection to a non-verified (rumor) poisoning and their restoration. It looks like there were six popes after Clement to the date of the restoration.
