So because other men in the village didn’t want to free an armed bandit that attacked their village they deserve to die? Ugh, you extremists find a way to justify anything, don’t you?

What a mean thing to say about Elizabeth! She did great things for Protestants of the British Isles, and she did NOT persecute Catholics. No doubt, after the treatment she recieved from Catholics in her youth, she harboured some resentment and animosity towards them. But she did not engage in any persecution. It’s no secret that Ireland and Britain do not get along. Elizabeth didn’t persecute, she merely eliminated uprisings. She had to be a strong leader, sometimes ruthless, because virtually everyone wanted her dead. That does NOT make her evil! Her attitude towards the Irish, is unfortunate and disappointing and characteristic of Brits even today, but she advocated well treatment of them. The current Queen Elizabeth is more evil!

I personally have a problem with your closing comments. You don’t have comments like this with your lists of evil men, but with the women it’s suddenly “Gasp! Those evil women!” Women can be (and often are) just as vicious as men, and history has proven that.

Other than that, another fascinting list here.

It would seem you have confused Elizabeth with her sister Mary.
Alison Weir’s history states that only one Catholic was burned during Elizabeth’s reign.

Research it. Multiple men in the village gang raped her, and the rest were complicit as she was held hostage by the village for three weeks, without clothing and maltreated, used as a slave. She escaped when a traveler passing through saw what was going on and snuck her out one night in his cart, it was then that she reconvened with the dacoit gang. A village of people who condone rapists to that degree aren’t really worth more than a rapist itself.

Damn straight. Phoolan is a hero, though merciless to rapists. Interesting I’ve never come across an mention of this nebulous “abuse of power” you claim here in anything else I’ve read about her, but there a many more details of her life you’ve omitted here anyway.

I agree. Also there was a reason Mary died with the nickname Bloody Mary and Elizabeth died as the Virgin Queen, and a fairly respected woman.

Phoolan was avenging her rape if there was any gang rape at all. I don’t think she was particularly evil, and she is also portrayed in the movie as something of a Robinhood… considering you are getting the rape part from the movie, which is not her actual biography.

This list is too dark for me. Its upsetting. I was not prepared for how twisted that new orleans lady was. I think it should have a warning. I wish i had not read that. I do not appreciate the imagery.

I wouldn’t call Queen Bess evil.
