i think King Yeonsangun of Joseon (old Korea) had a bit of maddness in him, he was a tyrant and is considered the worst King that Joseon had.
his mother Lady Yoon proved to be temperamental and highly jealous of the other concubines living inside the palace, even trying to poisoning one. she even physically struck the King one night, leaving scratch marks.
After the truth was discovered, it was ordered by her mother-in-law to be sent to exile, she later died posioned.
this led to her son to do cruel things.
He killed one of his tutors, then he ordered the execution of the government officials belonging to a political faction called Sarim after they opposed him on an idea, he mutilated the remains of one of the officials. he later beat to death two of his father's concubines, his grandmother died while she was pushed away by him and ordered the grave of a certain official to be opened and the head cut off the corpse.
He also closed a royal university and converted it to his pleasure grounds, later also forced people into involuntary labor to build another pleasure ground.
One chief eunuch called Kim Cheo-sun entreated Yeonsangun to change his ways, but was killed by himself by shooting arrows and personally cutting off his limbs. also exiled a minister of rites for spilling a drink that he had poured. In the end seized a thousand women from the provinces to serve as palace entertainers.
even though he would act in his mother's justice, his insane revenge utimately transformed in a personal entertainment of extreme violance.
