*** Of course, many of these actions are inflated to a ridiculous degree by people nowadays, making Columbus out to be [[Historical Villain Upgrade|worse than Hitler]] who specifically set out to find some poor innocent childlike natives to abuse [[For the Evulz]]. Many go so far as to declare that instead of celebrating Columbus Day, they will use the date to celebrate Lief Erikson... because [[Sarcasm Mode|Vikings were known for their tolerant and peaceful ways]].
* Matthias Corvinus ruled Hungary with an iron fist. He was known for imprisoning the nobles who crowned him king, and instituting high taxes to maintain his army of [[Elite Mooks]]. Despite this, he is known as Hungary's greatest and most iconic folk hero, for his sense of justice and his rumoured habit of mingling with the common folk. The fact that the kingdom of Hungary was living it's golden age during his rule, and practically died with him, also helps his case.
* [[Franklin D Roosevelt]] was a massive racist (not even remotely [[Fair For Its Day]], as several prior presidents had spoken out against exactly what he pushed for) that extended the great depression by terrible monetary policy, disarmed law abiding citizens, imprisoned US citizens indefinitely without trial for being the wrong race, abused the espionage act to shut down those critical of him, rigged the supreme court, outlawed farmers from growing food to feed their family, gave the federal government unlimited power and kept [[Harry Truman]] in the dark about everything despite know how he could (and did) die soon. Yet because his cabinet and generals won [[World War II]] you'll ([[The Grimnoir Chronicles|almost]]) never find a piece of fiction that dares show him as anything but a saint.
