Let’s face it: while important figures in history may have had some serious titles to uphold, they certainly weren’t immune to the hilarity of being human. They were just as prone to making mistakes, pulling pranks and stirring up trouble as the descendants (us…) that they left behind.
Emperors, princes, presidents, war leaders, philosophers, and many other of histories greatest people have left some pretty funny stories behind from their time in power. You might not think that war and politics would be natural sources for comedy gold, but as our ancestors show, sometimes the horrors of battle or the mundanity of politics produce some real knee-slappers.
