No real historical figures in this poll, I'm afraid. (Though Prince George from Blackadder and King Arthur are arguable.)

If we were including historical figures I'd include Martin Luther King and our current reigning monarch but not King Herod or Genghis Khan!!!

Did I say real?
Khan shall leave your poll... as you left.. her...
And the Khans weren't all bad. Sure they conquered the world and slaughted loads, but most recent assessments suggest the numbers slaughtered are not as high as is reported in the records of their survivors and successors. Good to paint them in as bad a light as possible and there simply wasn't the population to sustain that level of slaughter.
And let's not forget the development of excellent trade and transport links, religious pluralism and tolerance, women in leadership and positions of control, technological exchange, diplomacy, etc.
I feel we need another poll..

Counterpoint: slaughtering any number of people over zero is still bad form

The Greater Good etc.
The Mongols did impose order and relative form of peace.
If it had been up to us we would have still been sending our sons and money on Crusades for centuries.
Hooray for the Khans!

King Arthur wins, closely followed by King Ghidorah.
King Poseidon (i.e. Piranacon) got just one vote.
I forgot to include Predaking and no-one noticed.
