Recommend me a barking mad psychopath. Support Apolyton or Terrorists Win

It's for a good cause. I'm researching another "Historical Filth", and I'm looking for history's most entertaining lunatics. I've already got loads, but I'm always on the lookout for new names and I don't want to stick too closely to my old favourites.

Think sex. Think murder. Think drooling bouts of insanity. Think entertaining bouts of cruelty and perversion. Think pathos. Think bathos.

From your nation's grubbiest recesses, what dirty secrets can be winkled out for a cheap laugh?

Emperor Norton I of the United States of America.

He's not psychopathic, but certainly crazy and entertaining. Also he was (at least according to himself) in a position of great power.

http://www.zpub.com/sf/history/nort.html

And also, more on the psychopathic than the funny side, Emperor Jean-Bedel Bokassa of the Central African Republic.

Put an end to popups!

There's a lot written already about them, but Pope Alexander VI and his son, the infamous Cesare Borgia, could be a treasure for you.

Especially if you stay away from the most popular and often wrong facts... ie, Cesare's daughter Lucrecia was not the evil slut most authors have told us about, but rather an innocent tool for her father's political ambitions.

The Italian renaissance is certainly rich in cruel and infamous bastards. Bernabó Visconti, Ludovicus Sforza, Catalina Sforza and Ferrante of Aragón, King of Naples, are just a few names you should check out.

What was the name of that bathe-in-the-blood-of-virgins *****? Elizabeth of Bathory or something like that?

There's always Strom Thurmond... of course, by extension, you could say that the electorate of North Carolina are all barking mad psychopaths.
