"You say that Claudius was better than his predecessor caligula, but not by much" Claudius was Far better than Caligula in any aspect, he constructed aqueducts, canals, many new roads etc. He executed the conspirators who assassinated Caligula, he abolished the hated treason trials, and expanded the empire in the Balkans, the middle east, and britain. Other than not being much to look at he was a pretty successful emperor.
great video! your work and effort is appreciated. since this channel is history and all, i was wondering if youve done a video on the granite caves of barabar india?
About Ivan the Terrible when he was orphelin. Ivan became the centre of a reanimated and bloody power struggle. From 1538 onwards, until he could assume control, the cast of noble clans abused, mistreated and took advantage of Ivan. Often hidden for his protection, his childhood was lonely and challenging; it was a suffering the child would never forget. He trained the dogs for stopping the molestation but the dogs killed a Boyar. Starting with the death of a Boyar without knowing the antecedents show Ivan worse than he was. I like the presentation and your voice makes the videos very interesting. Thank you for your work
Ooh.. lets not forget King Richard III of England he was probably the worst for me. Taking the throne after his Brother’s death, refusing to accept his nephew’s coronation by continuously postponing his coronation, keeping his young nephew as a prisoner and lastly killing his nephew edward who would have been King edward VI if he hadn’t “mysteriously” disappeared
Despite his not being coronated, he is officially recognised as having reigned for a month. He was Edward V. Edward VI was the son and successor of Henry VIII
@@user-vm6lx5yx1k how so? He usurped the crown, delayed the coronation of his nephew Edward V who was the next inline to the throne after King Edward IV died. Since Edward was too young Richard III murdered the boy and took the crown himself. Disgusting
Yeah as bad as the ones on this list were History is fortunate to have seen many more Monarchs who were either great rulers or just competent enough as to keep the ship of state running smoothly. Now in contrast to some more modern elected leaders...I think it goes without saying.
I wonder why people want to get rid of the monarchy. Do they see our shi*show every four years? Do they think that’s better? They have parliament, a government. I’d take a monarchy.
Kings, Tzars, Pharaohs, and Emporers are all the same thing in different languages. Yes they may actually mean different words but they all refer to the same head of the Empires.
Yes he was. Millions of Europeans died because he was too weak to take control of Russia. He was probably a good man, but an abject failure of a monarch.
A terrible King requires a terrible Kingdom. One man cannot destroy a nation alone. It's one thing to uphold an example of history's worst person, but whom will speak of history's worst people? Humanity is not one race, the illegal murdering if one is not according to its perpetrators, nor to God or Gods in such divine hypocrisy of justice versus injustice. The law is the lie that the people abide by, made by a person whom legislate what they shall get away with, a power of Government and God alike. The people refuse to disobey their tyrants, becoming each a race their own under one, against all others. Hail always to the hero, the martyr, the saint, and the soldier, but never to the servant or the concubine.
That’s why I say, nothing new here! Even with our problems (which there Always have been). It’s still the best time to be alive. There isn’t, and never will be, Utopia. Ever.
Instead of being a crybaby victim how about you actually look at the playlists on this channel and maybe watch the videos cause there are videos about Japanese, Egyptian, Carthaginian, kushite and Persian history.
Bad kings, or: "it's a bad idea when cousins get married."
Both
Cousins might have worked. How about brothers, sisters, fathers, mothers, aunts, uncles?
@@RAJohns one word: Habsburghs.
Two words Egyptian Pharaohs
@@RAJohns let me guess, Alabama???
When you are doing bad at your job just look at these kings and you will be proud of yourself

Ahh a reader like myself love the written
As a Belgian myself, I'm truly glad to see Leopold the 2nd on this list. He was a monster
Love the content please dont stop
Fascinating informative video listing the terrible kings in History
Well, that was a bizarrely abrupt ending.
1:35 i heard about when Nero attacked the waves on Horrible Histories.
That’s such a good show.
great video! your work and effort is appreciated. since this channel is history and all, i was wondering if youve done a video on the granite caves of barabar india?
why does that first bust of Caligula lowkey look like Joffrey Baratheon? 😂
Now to balance things out. Next video, “The Small List of Great and Good Kings”
Great video I enjoyed it can't wait to see more soon 😀
Yeah, there is a reason why no British monarch was ever named John again after King John I died.
Great upload
Caramba, seu inglês é bem fácil e compreensível de entender e está me ajudando a praticar o meu listening.
Great job 👍
See u in history......can you make a video about napoleon bonaparte plss
KimJongUn could be added to this list. 👨⚖️👨🏫👹💩
Most US presidents should be added
Maybe sprinkle in some Filipino politicians 💀

Well I'd never want to tell Ivan my last name and get mistaken
Wow, King Leopold was a monster 🤭
I'd pick emperor Hirohito of Japan. By getting part of his population nuked in WW2.
King Zhou of Shang

Are you are troll? Richard the third was the rightful king

No proof that Richard killed his nephews.

Monarchists are delusional sychophants. 😂
Emperor Commodus is worth a mention
Yeah..mid and late Ming dynasty also have that type rules
Bran the Broken. Terrible king
0:50 It's Joffrey Baratheon.
Cool
VERY... cool.
I would put Ferdinand the 3 in here as he started the third bloodiest war in Europe the 30 years war.
Also I wouldn’t say Ivan wasn’t that bad after his wife died he was horrible but before that he was a good ruler.
Would have been interesting to see the Danish King Christian the 2nd the Tyrrant on this list.
"Loyal as Praetorian"
Wow just wow
Is it just me or does the bust of Caligula kind of look like Joffrey from GOT?
I was thinking the same thing. 🤔
caligula would have blushed of you've been in the house too long she said and-
Thought the thumbnail was William Defoe
SIR DARK ZENO !!!
The statues at the beginning or all the statues with a little head are not Nero. They are all Caligula.
Rather use the remaining 10% in better than use the 90% strength in worst. Better is better than best.
Henry the 8th Mary of scots
victor emmanuel III of italy
Pushyamitra Shunga of Shunga dynasty was a king who persecuted many Buddhists in India.
Nero wasn't that bad ....new history suggests that he was a victim of propoganda
The Magna Carta was notified by the pope
Flavius Basiliscus
Andronikos II
Heliogabalus is one of the worts rulers in history
When the roosters crow is different from when the rooster crow.
WOW
Humanity has done a big achievement of overcoming monarchy
Don't diss czar Nicholas he had horrible end
Caligula
Why does Caligula look like Joffrey Baratheon
Joffrey Baratheon was a good king
Most of these guys you have some moral gripe with. Except for John, none of them were actually all that terrible at being a king.
There's a reason John was given a historical villain upgrade in the modern interpretations of the Robin Hood legend.
British were same as Belgians
Lol all the people who read the trails of apollo know about Caligula and his horse 😂
You said 'Kings', not emperors. They are not the same thing.
Kings, Tzars, Pharaohs, and Emporers are all the same thing in different languages. Yes they may actually mean different words but they all refer to the same head of the Empires.
Include Sultans, Emirs, Princes (male), and the Pope as all the same meaning dispute the actual word meaning. They are all THE head honchos in charge!
Nicholas II isn’t all bad
Yes he was. Millions of Europeans died because he was too weak to take control of Russia. He was probably a good man, but an abject failure of a monarch.
Why not auranzeb
wow
John lack land 😂😂😂
It was his nickname because he was the youngest of the princes and not expected to inherit lands
Vlad Tepes anyone?
Burger King.
gengis koun
Donald Trump, George W Bush, Montezuma.

Genghis Khan ,ourangajeb ,Herod the great
Genghis Khan was a competent ruler amd military commander who who founded one of the largest empires in history.
Genghis was top 5 rulers of all time.
First lol but dam history is messed up
That’s why I say, nothing new here! Even with our problems (which there Always have been). It’s still the best time to be alive. There isn’t, and never will be, Utopia. Ever.
One more Eurocentric list / video . When u guys wud realize there are also countries beyond Europe borders ! Pretty disappointed 😞
Oh yeah? Name one country outside of Europe?
Instead of being a crybaby victim how about you actually look at the playlists on this channel and maybe watch the videos cause there are videos about Japanese, Egyptian, Carthaginian, kushite and Persian history.
Put Biden on this list
