      I'd substitute important with infamous, he did ban Christmas, Nativity scenes, all fun celebrations and make church attendance compulsory, removed all decoration in them as considered 'Popish' and not inline with his puritan vision of the C of E. Many of the beautiful murals in them have only recently been discovered during renovation and restoration. He was very unpopular in Canterbury and with the Archbishop. As far as I know he never visited, probably feared for his life there, many would have been willing to become martyrs.

    They had the wrong date Jack the Ripper was in 1888 in the Whitechapel district of London he had at least 6 victims (ladies of the night) he removed parts of their internal organs. There were too many suspects and forensics were not up to the task, he just stopped suddenly. One suspect was an American Doctor.
    Cromwell and Becket should not have been on the list. I had not heard of Streona either. There is a film about Christie starring Richard Attenborough "10 Rillington Place", I recommend it.
    King John did not kill to become King, his brother Richard the Lion heart died abroad, he was also evil. Henry Il was overheard by some Knights saying " who will rid me of this troublesome priest" it was said in frustration, he didn't mean it, he and Becket were close friends. Becket refused to put loyalty to the King above God. His death was brutal and took place in Canterbury Cathedral. The Archbishop of Canterbury is the highest position in the Church of England. Amelia Dyer was not the only killer of children in England. I would have included Matthew Hopkins the Witch finder General and Judge Jefferies to the list.

  • @leehallam9365

    What a bizarre list. Cromwell was a ruthless general, but was a rather complex character. Becket, whatever one thinks of him, could not be considered evil. Mosley was never anywhere near becoming PM, his party didn't even have seats in Parliament. He was deeply unpleasant and probably would have been Hitler's front man if Germany won, but he didn't actually do any of those things. Hugh DeSpencer? He was just a kings favourite on the make, who got killed by rivals, no worse than many others. As to have an unidentified man in top place is bizarre. Jack was by no means even the worst serial killer around, it the mystery and setting that gives his crimes their fame.

    The case of the Yorkshire Ripper is sadly almost as well known for the fundemental mistakes made by the police trying to catch him as for the crimes themselves, which meant he was able to continue killing for so long.

    Jack the rippers last Killing certainly was the most horrific because it to place in the victims private lodgings and the killer was able to indulge himself. The victims were Polly Nichols, Annie Chapman, Elizabeth Stride, Catherine Eddows, and Mary Kelly, in 1888. The most likely candidate for the identity of Jack the Ripper was Arron Kosminsky a polish imagrant, but there is still no proof of this. The letters, as far as I know, are fake. The only one the police took seriously was the one sent to George Lusk, along with half a human kidney who the writer claimed to have eaten the other half, saying it was very nice. Elizabeth Stride and Catherine Eddows were killed on the same night.They called it the double event. Martha Tabram and Alice Mckenzie could also have been Ripper Victims, but this is not certain.

    Christie had a job either as a part time police officer or maybe as an air raid warden. Either way during air raids he was in a position of power where people would do what he ordered. The air raids also gave plenty of places for dead bodies could be left and death blamed on the bombings in the way bombs kill. Sucking up the air and suffocating was one way apart from blowing you apart.
    The home gas at that time was called coal gas and was toxic. Could knock unconscious and ultimately death. Christie and other killers had plenty of opportunities to feed their nasty needs.

      2nd, although more influential from 1648, he didn't become Lord Protector until 1653, so how could he have personally have banned Christmas in 1644?

Nicholas Carrington comment also gives 1644 as the initial date, funny that isn't it? There was also an outright ban in 1647 for whch Cromwell was absent from parliament. This ban was also generally ignored. Documentation is freely available on this, check 'The Cromwell Museum', online and on CZcams. Appologies if it seemed aggressive, however having studied Cromwell for part of my bachelor's I get sick and tired of the amount of half truths and complete lies many believe about him?

    Aaron Kosminski, a Jewish immigrant from Poland and always the police’ prime suspect is the most notorious modern serial killer ‘Jack the Ripper’. Kosminski’s arrival in London in the early 1880’s corresponded with reactions in Russia to Jewish terrorist activity that had cumulated in the assassination of Tsar Alexander II by a Jew Vera Figner. Among those leaving Eastern Europe for Britain at that time were malevolent terrorist types such as the Tsar’s murderer and British police were investigating this subversive political activity specifically involving Jewish immigrants from Poland and Russia. While it was DNA from the victim’s blood and killer’s semen, isolated on the shawl found by Catherine Eddowes body that identified Kosminski as the ‘Ripper’, its pattern of Michaelmas daisies revealed a murderous ritual punishment schedule meted out towards European Christian woman. The dates of each murder correspond to a Christian festival the sequence he killed in appears as Catholic - Orthodox - Catholic - Orthodox. Here is a case of a Jew specifically choosing ethnic European Christian woman on Christian religious dates for the sole purpose of sexual violation, mutilation and murder. It is difficult to dismiss the charge of ritual murder particularly when related to the current climate, the amount of missing and or defiled children and the Jewish nature of the Paedophile scandal links are undeniable......For the news report search youtube for this video title - 'Jack The Ripper killer identity revealed - Truthloader'.

    I don't agree about Oliver Cromwell, the campaigns against the Irish were religious based, the Irish were Catholic and the British were Anglican and the Catholics in Britain had tried many plots to kill British monarchs to reintroduce the Catholic religion as the dominant force (one such plot involved Guy Fawkes. But there were others, including attempted invasions by the French and Spanish, supported by the Irish). Cromwell was a reluctant leader who retired when the Royalists were defeated and the Commonwealth set up, but he was later recalled due to the bickering of politicians, he was a man of his times, such actions as his Irish campaigns were similar to those of the warfare of the age across Europe, it is reckoned that he actually saved many lives after Drogheda as the Irish capitulated and surrendered and were not punished further.

    Tyler, I've lived in Britain all my life, and I haven't heard of all of these either! It's interesting that they've chosen characters going back over the last Millennia and more, but there is certainly some bias towards the more famous names. Mary Tudor - a.k.a. Bloody Mary, for example, is missing, despite it being known that she had at least 350 people put to death for what she considered to be heresy during her short, 4-year reign; yet they choose Oliver Cromwell's implied but not fully proven crimes over her. Likewise, they feel the need to always include "Jack the Ripper," and his Yorkshire counterpart, even though there has since been others such as Dr Harold Shipman, who are believed to be responsble for far more unexpected deaths than the two of these put together; plus the really henious sexual murder crimes of Fred and Rosemary West, the Moors Murderers and Dennis Nielson. Jack the Ripper was never positively identified incidentally, though the sudden death from what we're told was typhoid in 1891 of the 28-year old Prince Albert Victor of Wales - who was second-in-line to the Throne and widely regarded as one of the suspects, was in itself suspect, if you believe in conspiracy theories...!

    It's currently fashionable to hate Cromwell. He was a man of his times and no worse than many others at the time and in some cases better?

This video is VERY strange, neither of these people could really be considered as evil ( unless you were Irish in the case of Oliver Cromwell) so I don't understand why they should be on this list when, as other people have commented, we have had murderers who don't appear on the list who were truly evil.

Evens was found guilty and hanged, Christie wasn't caught for another 3 years.

      Poor King John 'Lackland' had a bad press. He had to raise taxes to pay for the ransom of his older brother King Richard 'the Lionheart', which had bankrupted the kingdom. King Richard was not actually a good King - he spent only six months of his ten year reign in the kingdom, the rest of it draining the treasury to fund his Crusader escapades - including being captured and having to be ransomed.
      There is a story of John and Richard riding through England and getting a bit lost.
      King Richard of England: "Brother, where are we?"
      Prince John: "I don't know, Sire. Why don't you ask that English peasant over there? Oh, I'm sorry - I totally forgot - you don't speak his language!"
