History's Most Murderous Villains
Certain people are remembered throughout history for
such chilling and dastardly deeds that their very names are unnerving. Ivan the
Terrible and Vlad the Impaler are two such foreboding figures. Others may not
have such menacing monikers, but their reputations are just as frightening, such
as Attila the Hun and Nero. This inspired series not only reveals the shocking
biographical details for some of history’s most fascinating—and
fearsome—individuals, it enlightens about the places and times in which they
lived and the forces at work that shaped them into real-life villains.
