Starting this list with Elizabeth Bathory was kinda surprising to me (especially with the popularity of castlevania since Carmilla is inspired by her), but I guess that she isn't that well known
Yeah Bathory kind of surprised me. Same with Leopold II. I thought they were more well known. Aside from them I only recognized Gilles from the list from watching fate/zero and researching the crazy guy who summoned Cthulhu
This is not what I thought you meant from the title so thanks for that warning at the start. It saved me from seeing something that I probably did not want to see. I was totally thinking the title referred to mythical creatures that have rarely shown up in mainstream media and was looking forward to seeing how many I already knew from D&D.
There are a good amount of evidence to say that Gilles de Rais was innocent. He was young and his court was more luxurious than the king's. He spent fortunes on plays and free food for commoners, which is in contrast to his Brittany in-laws who spent generations focusing on saving and investing, and found his extravegant spending sickening. The Duke of Brittany even had an audience with the Pope claiming that Gille had an addiction to spending money. His family also met with the king for a royal decree stopping anyone from entering into a contract with Gille, claiming that Gille was going to spend all his money and that there wouldn't be anything left in his estate. This led to the Duke gaining control over Gilles possessions. The Duke had a clergyman guard Gilles favourite castle, leaving it empty and leaving Gille homeless. Gille wished to stay in it, so he kidnapped the clergyman but then letting him go, which further turned the nobility and church against him. He was incredibly powerful, popular with the peasants for his generosity and for being a war hero, and he could have raised an army if he wanted to, which scared the nobility. His family likely began the rumours that he had gone mad and was experimenting with occult alchemy and sold his soul to the devil. (Similar accusations in the medieval/renaissance period have been used on perceived enemies of Christendom, such as Jews, muslims and protestants, which i find telling) it would be easy for peasant parents to blame their kid's disappearance on a alleged satanic alchemist, CLAIMING he stole their child, despite unsepervised children vanishing all the time back then. He and all his friends denied these allegations, but these testimonies were conveniently left out of the trial. Gille and his friends only confessed under torture, and of course they did, studies have shown time and time again that torture victims will say anything to make the pain stop. No physical proof of this was presented. No bodies of children were discovered, not even any bone fragments. All evidence was circumstantial. After his execution, the Duke inherited all his land and possessions and divided it amongst his family. The Catholic church was also paid handsomely. evidence was found that Gille's corpse was not burned, as was standard practise for accused witches, but given a christian burial in secret at the church of Notre-Dame-des-Carmes which corroborates that the accusations of witchcraft and devil worship were made-up. There is evidence that the court transcripts were later altered, changing Gilles testimony to seem more over the top, adding more gruesome details to his supposed confession of murdering children. Among other bits of evidence that seems to support this being a case of framining and conspiracy.
Good stuff Karl. Do me a favor and talk a little louder, would you? Also, just an observation -- I've got to say your close-up shot is working better than the wall to the left view. It's more dynamic. Keep up the good work!
I've heard of most of these people actually (especially Amin) and the sad thing is that the first two people listed could have been innocent. Sawney Bean was probably fictional.
@@ToptenzNettop10 apparently my memory was mixed up, I can’t find the blood sausage bit, but she did confirm making tea cakes out of a women which she said tasted better because “ that women was sweet” and she did give the cakes out to friends Now I’m trying to look up who I got the blood sausage part mixed up with
There is a Hammer Horror film that uses the Elizabeth Bathory story, to create a violent tale, starring Ingrid Pitt. I know about most of these people. Idi Amin is a well known name to anyone who was alive in the 1970s, when he ruled Uganda.
Heavy subjects so the black shirt turned out to be appropriate. Did You say, "more aerodynamic host"?? LOL. CAN WE KEEP KARL PLEASE? If he is agreeable of course. 🤗
Monsters I probably never learned about? In my teens I used Wikipedia almost exclusively for reading about serial killers, assassins, mass murderers, spree killers, and terrorists.
I love Karl and Simon, everything else I follow is the former Cracked staff, random breadtube adjacent creators lol, I believe Karl was a Cracked guy too though.
Being from LaPorte, Indiana, I don’t think I’ve ever heard the city pronounced that way 😂 Like many adopted words, it has been butchered to “La Port” now And yay! Our most famous resident 😅
Who tf doesn't know who Elizabeth Bathory, Leopold II, and Idi Amin are?!? Like I happen to also know 2 of the other ones but that's because History is my thing and eventually will be my profession since i'm getting ready to go back to school in the Spring after like 9 years
TIME magazine put Idi Amin on its cover with the headline "The wild man of Africa." That headline makes me uncomfortable: it sounds like a sideshow attraction!
PLEASE! PLEASE! PLEASE! Bring back Simon Whistler. I am sure this narrator is a very nice chap and is trying very hard, I can't understand half of what he says.
These people aren't obscure at all! Except Pazram. The others are told so inaccurately sensationalistly that I suspect that's why I haven't heard of him.
Whilst I will remain respectful, this guy just isn't whistler. Nothing against you pal but you just dont have the presence nor voice to replicate your predecessor. I won't be staying as a sub from now on. Good luck guys
There's now way that an American in the 70s wouldn't remember Idi "VD" Amin. Saturday Night Live ensured that. Also Generalissimo Francisco Franco is still dead.
Richard Pryor also satirized Idi Amin on his short-lived TV comedy show. He did a skit in which Amin goes on television to deny that he's the evil villain that the media has made him out to be. I only remember a few lines from the sketch. It begins with Pryor/Amin saying "My name is Idi Amin Dada. That's two 'd's, three 'a's (holds up a pistol), and one gun." Later on, he says "I love American people. I want to say, I had two for lunch." At the end, the voice of the moderator is heard to say, "I'm sorry, Mr. Amin, but your time is up," to which Amin replies "No, YOUR time is up!" He shoots the moderator, and continues talking.
As Karl said, I also appreciate the detail’s being excluded. I regularly watch True Crime videos, and have heard plenty of details, that I didn’t need to hear. I, of course, am a Sub of The Casual Criminalist, and as I’m sure you’re very aware of the fact that, occasionally Simon will skip over various sections of the story, stating that there is no intrinsic value for viewers to these hear details. Thank you all so much 😊.
I was expecting this video to about about such monsters as chupacabra. I was disappointed 2 minutes into the video when it turned out that "monster" was going to be defined as "those who do monstrous acts." I would much rather prefer a video on cryptozoology.
I knew the stories of all of the people on this list, but I'm pretty sure EVERYONE knows of Idi Amin. That was so anticlimactic. By the way, you're doing a great job, Karl. I hope they keep you on as host.

You are correct. I think a lot of people would like to see what is on that list. The motives are inconsequential. I think we know what they are.
you got me ugly laughing at "more aerodynamic host"
Bathory? aw come on, she was totally framed. also she was the basis for countess of blood, count Karmilla and more...
Starting this list with Elizabeth Bathory was kinda surprising to me (especially with the popularity of castlevania since Carmilla is inspired by her), but I guess that she isn't that well known
After reading this, I feel like I'm about to know them all... 0:44
@@CavemanWithAStringStickyeah, having finished the video is a pretty shitty list (to me at least)
I guess most people have no clue beyond Jack the Ripper and Vlad the Impaler.

Is that the same lady r from the venom song?
When you know more than half of the evil jerks on this list.... 💀 Man, my hobbies.....
You could be worse...there were no surprises for me on this list.
“The Last King Of Scotland” was a great movie starting Forrest Whitaker as Imin.
The real question is how many of these have been covered in Into the Shadows or Casual Criminalist or Biographics?
The Panzram one is good.
Calling Simon the more aerodynamic host is classic.
Excellent, Mr. Smallwood!!!
sick people but a great reporting job.
We'll pass the praise along. ;)
Anyone into heavy metal or remotely into death or black metal must find this video rather refreshing.
All of these people could have Dethklok songs made about them.
Superb! Excellent video!

i think you should do one on MYTHICA: lesser known monsters, like the Cait Sith, or etc
Well done Karl. :) 'Aerodynamic'...lol.
I'd disagree with Dirlewanger and Koch, most people with a decent knowledge of WW II and German atrocities have a passing knowledge of them both.
It feels like Karl is picking up some momentum as host!
You forgot Pol Pot.
It took me a minute into the video to realize it wasn’t Simon Whistler
Thank you.
"More aerodynamic host"😂😂😂😂😂😂
I was surprised at how many I did know about. I wonder whether the "Bean" clan was the inspiration behind "Lorna Doone".
What makes you think that? When you say "Lorna Doone," do you mean the cookie, or the name of a song?
@@michaelpalmieri7335 LOL In this case, the book. (Although I am fond of the cookies.)

More likely if Sawney Bean was real, the guilty were actually a gang, not one person.

Glad you are clearing the name of Elizabeth Bathory.

I kind of like the new host, even if he's a little sensitive it seems. He's doing a good job.
1:09 Actually do know who this is. Used to bathe in the blood of virgins to stay young. So, mass serial killer and alleged vampire.
This is a poorly researched article.... and most of these are extremely well known.
