Warning: In this article, intensive violence is discussed.

They say that history is always written from the perspective of the winner, although those who were defeated in cruel deaths are immortalized in a way. Their endings are by no means pretty, although they are remembered lively than those who have left this world less catastrophic.

I recently made a deep dive on R/Askreddit, where in a post the users asked to name the “famous historical figures” [who] Deaths had proportional brutally on their fame. “Here is what people had to say:

Note: Some answers were condensed and processed out of clarity.

1.“Ulysses S. Grant, but it was still a noble death.”

“After losing his entire money against a Ponzi program, he defied a neck cancer diagnosis to write his memoirs (published by Mark Twain) so that the proceeds would be upset after his death. He wrote a thousand words every day, he left the cancer every day to write. Was the Hugen with the end.

After one year and 366,000 words that were written, he gave the manuscript to Mark Twain for publication and was informed that 100,000 copies had been pre -ordered. A week later he succumbed to cancer. Julia Grant and her children received the modern equivalent of $ 12 million. The work was such a commercial success that it was covered by Twain's other work, The adventures of Huckleberry Finn. “

4.“Sigurd the powerful. A Norwegian Jarl from Shetland who conquered part of Nordschotland.”

“At some point he asked Máel Bried, a local guide, to a fight with 40 men on each side. He illegally brought 80 men to the battle instead of 40 and, as you can imagine, the nickname was well earned.

5.“Charles von Navarra (Charles the Bad) died a fairly terrible death. At 54 (1387) he got seriously ill and on the doctor's advice they wrapped him in Brandy in Brandy. Because, they know, medieval medicine. Unfortunately, the maid stumbled off and let the brandy -bloZa -abaze burned, the man burned the man lively.”

–U/trespian novel

9.“Qaddafi will be up there with a bayonet.”

10.“Robespierre shot in the jaw, unable to speak, which has contributed to starting terror at all – his words. Like so many others brought into the guillotine.”

–U/drulaps

11.“Roland Freiler died a fitting brutal death. He was a Nazi judge who supervised a lot of torture and thousands of death sentences. Different reports say that he was either killed when a piece of his courtroom destroyed him in an air strain, or when Shrapnel only brought him to death on the way.”

–U/petitecrivain

12.“Stalin was on the floor in his office about 11 hours after a stroke and slowly died of pain. The staff was afraid to go to his private office without explicit permission, so they waited for an older person to show up.”

–U/unclear_warfare

13.Martin Luther King Jr. as the most visible leader of the civil rights movement was murdered by racist violence in a brutal act in order to silence his mighty message. Instead, his death became a scream of meeting for the movement and further increased his status as a global icon of peace and justice. “

14.“Bonnie and Clyde. Holy shit, this car had many ball holes in it.”

15.“Joseph Smith.”

“Today he is best known to found the Mormon religion, but he had higher ambitions than that. He began a great cult, very similar to what they see today, where he was a god -like guide who had several women and needed a complete compliance with his followers. Illinois collected a great, strongly armed militia for the second time in 10 years, the government destroyed the time, destroyed the time,, imposed on war law and explained that he ran for the US president.

Smith was charged with betrayal and brought to an Illinois prison. Before he could stand in court, hundreds of men stormed the prison, Smith repeated. At that time, Smith tried to escape by jumping out of the window on the second floor that probably killed him, but the mob went outside and hit Smith's body just to be safe. It was impossible to prove that a person actually did the deed. “
