I think some people may be missing the idea that the body counts are not the most critical issue, but the methods they used.
Also this offered scant information.
Julius Caesar and Nero should both be on the list. Neither was much different from Caligula, and all within 150 years if I remember correctly. Ilsa Koch, the bitch of Buchenwald should be here too. (skinned prisoners with tattoos and made gloves and lampshades from the tanned skins) A number of other interesting forms of torture. Nero was known for holding gladiator games, which in the end were pretty bad when he couldn’t find healthy animals, executed a number of political enemies, including family members, both Caligula and Nero nearly bankrupt the country. Caligula was also well known for trolling the streets looking for sex with any one and everyone, sometimes dressed as a woman, took the wives of the political elite to bed before having dinner with their husbands...while the whole party present listened...
Vlad the Impaler - Pretty intense person. Impaled thousands, many during dinner for entertainment. Rounded up all the beggars and gave them a banquet. Asked if there was anything else they desired..maybe have all their earthly cares washed away, which of course resulted in eager applause. He boarded up the building and set it on fire. When a group of Turks refused to remove their headwear at dinner, he had their hats stapled to their heads and sent them home. He put a golden chalise at the town well, supposedly in the capitol city, and proclaimed that all could drink from it but none could take it. It never disappeared.
Torquemada - May have “only” had 2000 burned at the stake. Thousands more died as a result of the torture that was sanctioned by the Pope, not Torquemada. Suspected heretics were tied by their wrists to a contraption from a high ceiling, weights tied to their ankles. The device would drop them several feet, the sudden stop dislocating various joints. A large wheel was built and the suspect tied to it, his feet repeatedly dropped into a small fire than removed, a couple of scribes ready nearby to take down his confession.
Elizabeth of Bathory - Particularly nasty woman. Reportedly skinned some young girls alive. Hooked her fingers in one girls mouth and pulled it wider and wider until it ripped the skin. Put another young girl in the courtyard in mid winter and had water poured over her, until she had a frozen human statue to admire. She was eventually aprehended with many corpses under her castle, estimated body count of 600 is generally thought to be pretty accurate. She also had a couple of accomplices, usually lesbian, one kept a running journal of it all. She was walled up in a room in one of her own towers with only a slot to send food through, and sentenced to live out her life there.
I have a book with chapters on several of these same people, as well as Rasputin, Nero, Atilla the Hun...all absolutely evil and most probably psychopaths.
