History's Biggest Falls From Grace

When you hear of someone having a “fall from grace,” who is the first person you think of?

The guy who went from being America’s dad to an (alleged) blind serial rapist?

The guy who got an inordinate amount of fame after losing weight and now gets an ordinate amount of fame being a lover of kiddie porn?

This New York financier?

They all fit the bill, but pale in comparison to some of the biggest historical figures whose rise to the top was only equaled by their fall to the bottom. 

For example: At one point Napoleon was arguably the most powerful man in the world, and now his shriveled penis sits in a jar on a mantle in Edgewater, NJ. 

Staying in 18th century France, Robespierre went from sending a king to the guillotine to facing that same blade 2 years later… 

And when I say he faced the guillotine, I mean that literally. Robespierre is one of the few to be executed during the French Revolution while lying on his back and looking up at the blade that was about to separate his head from the rest of his murderous French body.
