I brought them up because my original comparison was between these modern ghoulish profligates and their ancient counterparts. I am very aware of the crimes of those I listed hell if I had the misfortune of somehow interacting with them the only one I wouldn't kill out the gate would be Constantine, but for all their wrongs they still did good. Constantine held the Romans together and reformed the empire, Charlemagne set much of Europe down the road to recovery from western Romes collapse, and Saint Louis reformed the estates and arguably set france to become what it is today but these modern Bible thumpers have nothing but the cruelty.

I chose my monsters due to their contrast, if I wanted people I truly think were irredeemable I wouldve gone for the Spanish empire, the Teutonic Order, and fucking Belgium. All of whom spread the love and mercy of Jesus Christ all for power and gold.

Also I just realized my initial list gets increasingly French eugh.
