If your story is set in the medieval or early modern period, and if its geographical scope is closer to a town or county than a kingdom or empire, then the villain of choice for you is the '''Feudal Overlord'''. This [[Aristocrats Are Evil|sinister]] [[Blue Blood|noble]] rules over villagers and peasants with an [[Evil Overlord|iron fist]], being surrounded by a guard of armed [[Mooks]] that enforce his oppressive taxes and [[Droit Dudu Seigneurseigneur|get hold of]] [[I Have You Now, My Pretty|beautiful maidens]] that have caught the lord's eye. He may have to answer for his acts to a higher authority such as a King, but either the king [[The Man Behind the Man|will also be evil]], or he will be distant and unaware of the sufferings of the commoners. Therefore the '''Feudal Overlord''' will have effectively unchecked authority over the region, and will of course use it for his benefit and pleasure.
 
At least, unless he goes too far, and [[La Résistance]] takes arms...
