11 Of The Cruelest Tyrants From History
Content: His ideas may have placed him as l’Incorruptible, but his actions cemented his place as a tyrant. The systematic killing of his enemies in order to realize his ideals is quite alarming. The person who can easily justify radical and widespread murder is the person that should be the most feared. Vlad III (Romania)
We shall round off the list with another tyrant with a great nickname, this time as Vlad the Impaler; who was the inspiration for one of fiction’s most famous villains. As with a number of cruel tyrants, particularly those from several centuries ago, there is a certain mysticism and respect surrounding Vlad III, who mercilessly fought to protect Romania and Bulgaria from the Ottomans. As you may have guessed from his posthumous nickname, Vlad was known for his practice of eliminating his enemies through impalement, one of the most violent and painful deaths that could face a person. His sadistic reputation spread to the far reaches of Europe, and his legend lives on: it is quite the feat to be regarded as a hero while simultaneously having well-known stories of cutting the breasts off women, as well as roasting children, and feeding the remains to family members. You have to slightly admire the creativity and power of the man.
