Best Answer

History is made by those who see a man/woman as interesting/worthy to be written about...and only those stories that are either heroic or atrocious are deemed interesting enough to keep them going on throughout the ages. We know plenty about the impotence of King Richard VIII. History likes to show the shortcomings of historical figures who are viewed as evil.
