Seriously??? Jesus?
We don't even know if he existed. And there is no evidence that he was killed.
What you didn't add Jacques de molay!
Isn't it funny how they make Anne Boleyn sound like a heroine and a victim? She killed hundreds that were in her way, hundreds more were imprisoned. And yet, she is painted as an innocent wife that didn't give birth to a son. What about Catherine of Aragon, Catherine Howard and multiple mistresses of Henry VIII?
Che Guevara must be in this list
julius caesor??
WatchMojo needs to get its shit together and stop with this USAcentrism. Nobody cares about "one of the most famous criminal of american history", Marie Antoinette IS history, world history for the record. It's so stupid to put important figures after other way less famous, why? Just because they are not american?
Ok, one name. NED KELLY
I totally knew Jesus would be #1.
Religious or not, his execution changed the world.
Gol D. Roger
Socrates?
What about Jacques De Molay last grandmaster of Templar Order who was wrongly executed??
6:21 his eyes set the standard for $2 plastic glasses. what an honour!
I dont believe in fairy tails. Jesus was a figure of hope, he was somebody who was created to give hope to the poor and was used to go to war.
Ethel Rosenburg had zero knowledge about anything. Julius' knowledge was, in retrospect, useless information, and had nothing to do with atomic weapons.
They were scapegoats, in other words.
baked toast
00:05:28 Who the Fuck has such a fat Neck ?!? ^^
Does anyone know about the legend of Sawney Bean?
You've made a huge fuck up with the wrong King of France. 16th NOT 14th. Piss poor.
That's Louis XVI, NOT Louis XIV, read some history before you narrate.
SPARTACUS! Circa 60 B.C.E.
King Charles I executed by Parliament in 1649.
The Duc' Eughnie, executed in 1803 by the First Consul of France.
Wait wait wait, how could jesus have lives after the death or before the birth of himself?
You forget about this french guy called Robespierre
Adolf Hitler?
Pray for Harambe
The most famous execution of the French revolution: marie Antoinette? Not Louie XVI? Or Robespierre? Wow, even when talking about execution, this woman still can't resist kissing that feminism ass.
It is Louis the16th who was beheaded
That’s not how Jesus looked
I HARE WATCHING PEOPLE GET HANGED!!! I SHAKE WHEN I WATCH IT HAPPEN!!!
Jesus number one? Sounds like holy bull shit.
I am not surprised jesus is number 1.
I mean DAMN.
Who wouldn't know about it?
If Jesus was on the list. Why isn’t flooding the Earth to kill every human except for a family on the list?
My dude I’ve been reading the comments section and some of y’all people say the Jesus isn’t real and some of y’all say that they are dumb and that Jesus does exist. But I don’t agree nor I disagree but I’m not Christian I’m catholic and I believe in Jesus and other saints. Y’all have the freedom of religion, unless you have to worship someone. But people saying that other people are dumb just because of what they believe, that is just FUCKING wrong, just don’t do that it’s rude and a childish way of saying it. Just say something nice or just ignore it. Just don’t say that you want Proof that Jesus exists or tell them to read a bible. We have different religions and practices. So don’t he foolish and think about. It’s ignoring it or saying something nice….
It was king Louie the 16'th, 14'th was his father, the Sun-king. Man. If I'm going to follow this channel, you better get your stories straight..
