Royal & Noble Serial Killers – Male

Through most of history, royals and nobles held a place high above the peasant class. Their word was law and they could often get away with murder, literally. So much unchecked power sometimes went to a rulers head, morphing their darker urges into unspeakable acts of violence and cruelty. The lives of peasants were given very little value, and there were few means to investigate or seek justice against murderous aristocrats. High-born psychopaths were nearly unstoppable in their bloodlust and often racked up victim counts in the hundreds. Let’s investigate the cases of 4 royal and noble serial killers from history, and look at the theories that one of the most famous slashers of all time, Jack the Ripper was really a member of the British Royal family. Liu Pengli, Prince of Jidong, 144–116 BC Dhu Shanatir, Himyarite King, 5th century CE Gilles de Rais, Baron de Retz 1405 – 1440 Sado, Crown Prince of Joseon, 1757–1762 Prince Albert Victor if the United Kingdom 1864–1892 Join me every Tuesday when I'm Spilling the Tea on History!
