Hey /HIS/, I'm trying to find historical examples of righteous comeuppance to include as a scene in a writing venture for a course I'm taking, can you help me out?
I'm looking for a good guy serving just desserts to tyrants and oppressors. Really appreciate it, and thank you!

Fuck off you moral nigger, Stirner is infinitely more superior to your gay ass cucked "philosopher" whom you hold so dearly.
Nietzsche doesn't even come close to recognizing human truths.

If you accept the idea that Caesar was a tyrant, there's that. Manlius certainly got horrible but appropriate comeuppance for leading Roman forces into Parthia (?was it Parthia,I'm now wondering if it was Pontus) tosteal the gold.

OP here, hoooooly fuck you're all so entrenched in fedoras you can't use inference. What a great board!
Obviously these are real people and purely good men don't exist, but within the cultural context of that day and age one could very easily be seen as a 'goody good vanquisher dood' by the people he directly help by doing said vanquishing.
Charlemagne and Arthur are obvious picks, but they're too obvious and involved with Christendom and I don't want to include those themes in the story I'm writing.
So I googled and researched, meh.
They say there's wisdom in counsel, but I guess the educated anonymous masses are simply too cynical and inutile to implement an iota of imagination,,,

Robespierre was guillotined in the end. And the fermiers généraux certainly got what they deserved, too. No good extortionists.
