Who were the most evil monarchs that ever lived? What made them so evil? Were they all a part of the normal royal family? What countries did these Monarchs come from?
It’s no secret that throughout history there have been some very mean monarchs, kings, and queens (we will include emperors too) that have not just spilled the blood of their external enemies but also killed those closest to them. The show Game of Thrones might be a fictionalized account of the often bloodthirsty, greedy, cold-hearted nature of rulers, but it’s also not too far away from reality when we look back through history. “Uneasy lies the head that wears a crown,” wrote William Shakespeare in his play King Henry IV, which is basically the same as the saying “Heavy is the head that wears the crown.” Ruling can be a curse and a burden. But some of those rulers were simply cruel. Let’s see who were the worst in this episode of the Infographics Show, Who were the most murderous monarchs in history?

When I learned history in school it was mostly about dry facts... Is it any different now? Do you also get to learn some trivia about the famous monarchs of the past along with the juicy details? Let me know in the comments...
Same dry facts...😢
The "civilized "west
Still dry facts
Both-ish?
Well I had teachers under and over ~50 in the '70s. Guess who was willing to tell the gory parts? Guess who couched all history invariably with a romanticized Roman feel? I was fortunate (?) to have learned about Pol Pot, Idi Amin, Enver Hoxa and Augusto Pinochet as they presided. Since then, I see few students grasp their importance.
In school, we had to learn a song about Henry VIII’s wives.
“Divorced, Beheaded, and died. Divorced, beheaded, survived.” That’s how we had to learn the order of what happened to each wife. This was when I was in primary school, and I still remember it. But, now, I’m in high school, and I still have to do it for GCSEs.
“I’m Henry VIII, I married 6 sorry wives, some might say I ruined their lives.”
Lol, horrible history
Same
I don't even learn it now
the most evil monarch was me, the king of my garden, Carlos I, i killed more than 10000 ants and other insects
Carlos Silva I’m calling the police
@@koppi732 you cant, i already killed the insects polices, spiders are way too weak
Flick (Bug's Life): *calls 911*
pst, 911 insects are already dead
Sub to me
1 quote from Gaius Julius Caesar Augustus Germanicus already said enough ;
' let them hate me, as long as they fear me'
They used the wrong Congo when talking about Leopold II, the Belgian Congo mostly consisted of what is now the Democratic Republic of the Congo (DRC), not the Republic of the Congo (often just called Congo)
dimapez Zaire is DRC
Aaryan Bhatia me too, there was so much that was wrong
Revenge1213111 ugh they need to fact-check they said Caligula rules from 41AD to 37AD that makes no sense either. They are retarded
they just didn't fact check as much as they should have...
Has nothing to do with being a geography nerd. This show just makes foolish errors the entire time.
How to be an evil monarch
1. Incest
2. Genocide
3. Slaves
4. War
5. Avarice
6. Ince...wait did I already said that?
Most of them appear on Fate/GrandOrder game...well...I like Vlad Tepes though...and (Toaster King) Ivan...
Hey, that sounds like the Prophet of Peace. Mohammed.
Yeeeeessss.
Dumb kids
I have them all
@Exu I see you are man of culture as well.
Stalin: "a couple of hundred thousand people killed? . That's cute. "
😦😐
Genghis khan: "20 million deaths, 1% of the world population? Those are rookies numbers Stalin. 11 % of the world population or nothing"
Mao: lul
God: "oh aren't you all so cute"
Right !!! It is estimated Conservatively that he killed 20 million of his own citizens . Pretty much the textbook definition of paranoid schizophrenia unchecked and unmedicated
Two things here: 1) Leopold II ruled over an area that is mostly the current Democratic Republic of Congo (formerly Zaire), not the Republic of the Congo, and 2) Ivan the Terrible got his nickname because he inspired fear in his enemies, not because he was cruel to his own people.
There were a ton more mistakes here, but those are the two I picked up first
It's the Infographic show🤷🏼♂️it's more for fun than it is accuracy
Also Caligula ruling for -4 years
You must be fun at parties
...
@@BronteBe he a 🤡
Although Genghis Khan was brutal, he was actually quite nice to his army.
No one cares. As long as he was cruel.
Sorry mister cranky pants, my bad for saying a fun fact🙄 also, notice how I said he was brutal?

Caligula ruled from 37 to 41, not the other way around.
That through me off
Yeah. It looked like Caligula ruled before Christ, though he ruled after.
Caligula was a first century AD emperor.
BC timelines go backwards. 41-37 is how it's supposed to be.
Rome didn’t HAVE an emperor until Augustus in BC 27.
Belgium in Europe: 😁😇😀
Belgium in Congo-Leopoldville: 😈🗡
Let me get this straight: you got the Heart of Darkness reference right, but you couldn’t get the correct Congo?
Hold up, they got confused 41 AD to 37 AD? That only happens in BC 😂😂
Game Tutorial thinking that too
Emperor Caligula was such an evil monarch, he reversed time
XD he invented time travelling
They probably did that on purpose for people to notice it and comment lol
@@anjanajnair bro this was two years ago you just took me back
02:24 So Caligula managed to rule backwards in time?
Do you realise how years work? it was before Christ, do you think that everything appeared in the year 0?
@@horatiu848 do you realise how A.D. and B.C. work? Caligula was after Christ.
Oh sorry, my bad, I was thinking of Caesar
Why would you think of Caesar, if this movie covered Caligula?
Adam Key you guys all realise it’s anno domini not after death right?
4:00 Pretty sure that is the wrong Congo
They put Congo (Brazzaville), former colony of France instead of DR Congo (Kinshasa), former Zaire
And apparently Attila ruled much of Caspian sea and parts of Black and North Sea
And I know for a fact that's the wrong Congop
@Ivan Nikolić
Attila the Hun had capital in teritory of today Hungary, as well.
>Leopold II
>Shows a French-controlled colony instead of the DRC
41-37 A.D. 😂 wtf is that
He aged backwards
Bc and ad is reversed so 10,000 bc is after 5,000 bc it works the same with ad. bc- before christ. ad- after christ
you know ad means anno domino and not after christ?

hats off to the guy who ruled from "41 ad to 37 ad" must be the first time traveler in history, romans really did do it all in there day XD
Yeah XD
3:59 lol that congo wasnt even at the hands of belgium they had zaire
Zaire then is drc today
Smeag Scientist they are not same the congo shown in the video was in french rule
@@smeagscientist 20st century hmmm? time travel
*lol*
Much more could have been said about Leopold. Right hands effectively became a form of currency under his rule. If the congolese could not meet their quota, they had their right hand taken off. This effectively exchange rated one hand into one day (I think) of production, resulting in a widespread quest for right hands. Collecting right hands became a business within the business.
I like how they manage to turn every topic into an advertisement at the end.
Dunno know about Ghengis Khan, sure he was brutal and would kill any opposition, but he offered peace first with the option of deciding to fight and he made it clear that if you fight you will all die. The places that decided to give up to him were in the most treated well.
Here's a few more mass murdering kings:
1) Timurlane
2) Julius Caesar (not technically a king but in essence he became one)
3) Shaka of the Zulus
Julius Caesar is on the list.

NICE VIDEO!
Interesting info thanks
For Ivan the terrible his name also could’ve meant “inspiring fear or terror” so that may be how to Russian people wanted to remember him by, not a brute but quite literally an awesome man.
The Book, "Heart of Darkness" was a thinly veiled expose on King Leopolds Evilness in The Congo.
No such word as "Evilness", just Evil. It was never intended to be veiled. It is less specific, exposing the avarice of human nature and the adverse effects thereof.
great work impailer
Please do one on the longest ruling queens! :D \o/
I always got the impression that Gengis khan/the mongols were ruthless rather than just evil. If you don't resist, you seem to end up just fine. But if you kill their envoys or others, they will be ruthless and make an example.
You are 100% right the mongols were never cruel but if you did something silly like killing their traders you will make Genghis a bit angry and he will the decide that a lot of people would have to die for this
You missed one important emperor who may have hold the first position " Empror Ashoka" in the battle of kalinga he killed so many people that later he regretted for killing them and left his kingdom and became a Buddhist monk
You should do a video on the best monarchs too!!! such as King Sejong of Korea who literally had an entire writing system invented so people could communicate
Hangul?
Please please more brutal videos like these( war, torture ect.) They fulfil my soul...
There is something very wrong with you
The one who should also be added to this list is King John.
Does this count as a serial killer video?
sskuk 10 no a genocide convicted royalty video
"This video was sponsored by dash lane" I am like , this can't be the info graphics show ...... Literally XD XD
Disappointing that I was not on this list, IS.
I’ll have to try harder. 💪🏻😏
I like that Heart of Darkness reference in the Congo/King Leopold II section.

Wrong congo. That congo was part of france
0:50 *Learning about him is more helpful than learning financial advice.*
Ivan the Terrible is a mistranslation. Also, when you talk of Ghenghis Han (pronounced Chengis Han) murdering people of Iran, you should have mentioned that he had originally sent an envoy who was maimed while his other mates were killed and it was this act that Han took as an insult to his people that made him launch an offensive against the nation
You forgot Sui Yang Di, the meanest ancient Chinese monarch who builds 4 canals all at once, start 3 useless wars against Korea, and built ~5K ships for a trip down the canals for his own enjoyment. ALL at once. No wonder why he is only around for 2 decades!
Corona got me binge watching this channel
I still belive Vlad the Impaler is a national hero and no one can change my mind
Same
He was ruthless, he grew up with the ottomans, he knows everything about them. He was determined to avenge his father who was killed by the ottoman. He killed and did guerrilla warfare to destroy the ottoman.
You are right about history being bias. Like for example how you included Mary of Scot and not Elizabeth I. Queen Elizabeth was way more evil than Mary!
I agree with you! But it's Mary I of England not Mary, Queen of Scots
@@RandomHuman-yp7lt Mary Stuart was also known as Mary, Queen of the Scots
@@samuelburdick2071 they are talking about Mary Tudor. Mary Stuart didn't became queen of England.
@@RandomHuman-yp7lt huh, I just googled that and you're right Hha. My apologies, ig you learn something new every day

It amuses me how Queen Mary always gets criticized for doing these things when her sister, Queen Elizabeth I did all the same stuff, but she's always the good guy.

You showed the wrong Congo in the Leopold II part
This truly was the heart of darkness... Hey, I got that reference!
The "Terrible" in the title "Ivan the Terrible" is a compliment in Russian, meaning that he was terrible and terrifying to his enemies.
You put the years of Caligula backwards lol
Emperor Caliguka was so evil, he ruled backwards!
Let's ignore the Ottoman, Chinese and Japanese dynastys that killed millions. What happened? poor dating, poor geographical information and Henry the 8th looking alittle tanned considering pale skin was the sign of wealth, and not look like he spent two weeks at a mediterranean resort. Vlad was also protecting his nation from the Ottoman empire.

Thank you for your non argument, NPC.
This channel is a joke man, their facts are horribly wrong sometimes.
yeah vlad and ghengis did what they did for the survival of their people.
@SleekHairedChocolate
Because general Macarthur placed the blame on Tojo and made sure that any members of the royal family were not prosecuted.
Let's be clear though with ITT, the rich 100% *DID* have it out for him. His fears were not irrational or just paranoia to be fair to Ivan.
The funny thing is ‘Caligula’ means ‘Booties’ or ‘Baby Shoes’. It was given to him when he was a child
What about that queen that murdered and tortured like 3000 people for fun and she drank their blood I can’t remember her name but I remember hearing about her
that was hillary clinton
steve mcdonald lmao 😂
I think you're talking about Elizabeth Bathory,, who was a Baroness (not a Queen, a member of the nobility of Hungary...which basically means she was really rich, owned land (and the people on it), and hung out with other nobles and monarchs). She was accused of killing around 650 girls, not 3000, and its not known if she did actually drink and bathe in their blood in real life (though she, like her father, who also killed servants, was known to be brutal, though unlike her father (who never lost any status despite being well known for his cruelty) the nobility started having a problem with Elizabeth when she started killing the nobel's own daughters, which was the only reason anyone every actually tried her).
@@onikatanyamarajpetty9761 oh wait supercomputer getting spoiler not actually quantum computing
Vlad easily takes the cake here. Dudes way of killing is absolutely crazy. Just imagine seeing 2000 people impaled 😬
Liked the part of Gaius pushing crowd into arena.
Bloody Mary is also know as a ghost, the ghost of Bloody Mary, she will appear in mirrors if you either say her name in reverse or say her name 3 times and turn around 3 times, she’ll appear and will kill you if 4 or 3 candles, she will probably hurt you if 2 candles
"Genghis Khan" is actually spelt Chinggis Khaan and pronounced as such.
He used to be called "Temüjin", pretty decent name
@@shinjukusalter4597 his khan is just a title and he was a conqueror
Oh boy I'm excited for the comments
Do one about the kindest ones next
This is the best Infographics narrator... I really miss his videos
Can't you make Asia vs Europe in military comparing
Vlad was hero, he saved romanian people from turks
You should do a video on Yeonsangan of Joseon. He was considered, by most, the worst tyrant in history.
I’m so glad the old narrator is back! 💕👌🏼
This narrator is too high pitched for a history flashbacks. Can’t concentrate 😑

Qin ShiHuang (first emperor of China)
Elizabeth I
He was not the most evil ruler even in Chinese history. in 2st century, he was brutal. In imperial China, he was mediocre evil emperor. People have been brainwashed by Confucius historian. Those Confucius scholars praised Liu ce, Han Wu di. The same scholars also detailed Liu Ce cruelties, killing his sons and daughters because of suspicious witchcraft activities. Many novelties and high government ranking officials were killed. The worst parts their families, extended member, friends were executed. One person executed crimes can lead to thousands of death. In one instance, th military has killed tens of thousand of civilian because of suspicious of witchcraft. witchcraft was not the only reason killed people. Some people were just kiled because they said wrong thing. That was very typical in Chinese history. Historians have found out some family names were wiped out because one person said something incorrectly. Liu Ce also had a business trip. it is not like movies that glorified emperor trips. Emperor's trips increased the people financial and labor burden. Liu ce business trips were even worst. Other emperor's trips tortured people but helped corrupted local government officials rich. Each Liu Ce will generate multiple government officials deaths. The first massive killing was execution of royal member, Liu An. Liu An did commit treason, but 80,000 people were executed. These included Liu An family members, slaves, government officials friends and their family members. God knows who else. t his execution happened when Liu Ce was young.
Sadly Liu Ce was stil a mediocre tyranny. He was worst than Ying Zheng, Qing Shih Huang. at least 100 rulers were worst than those two in Chinese history. I gave thumb down because it doesn't do good research.. China had plenty evil emperors. Other countries also has. This one failed to mention
Love your videos! The chime tones you used in the background of this one are really annoying though tbh. Hope you don’t use them again.
