25 Most Cruel Rulers In History

Pope Alexander VI

The Papacy has a long history of some very evil Popes, but out of all of them, Pope Alexander VI is arguably the most evil. He was not by any means a Christian, catholic or otherwise but purely a secular Pope who used the power to advance his greed. In one particular stunt, Pope Alexander VI would marry off his beautiful daughter Lucrezia with a large dowry, and then afterward annul the marriage because he’s Pope and can do that. Then, he’d marry her off again to the next sap who fell for it. He had tons of extravagant parties which usually turned into orgies and would confiscate “illegal” money from the wealthy to finance his lifestyle. Eventually, he was assassinated by poison.
