I really feel like this with regard to monarchs. Most of them seem like homicidal inbred mentally ill people. Why are we studying and deifying them? Henry VIII? One of the absolute worst human beings to ever exist. Put him in the bin with Pol Pot.
Most of real history was a simple peasant working hard and making quiet decisions while avoiding being trampled by a king.
- krisoft 2y agoKinda hard to understand the whole deal about the Church of England without Henry VIII though. I don't think anyone is deifying him. At least not in modern discourse. But that is not the only reason to study someone.
