** [[RegencyEngland Prince George IV]] (a.k.a. [[UpperClassTwit Prince Minibrain]]) of 'Blackadder the Third'' would also count. Prince George may have been a glutton and profligate spender, but there's no indication he was an idiot. [[SubvertedTrope Then again]], [[spoiler:considering [[PrinceAndPauper who he was replaced by in the end]]]]... In a case of InvertedTrope however, he was described as very fat in real-life (and [[InformedFlaw several times in the series]]) but Creator/HughLaurie can hardly be described in this way.

* ''VideoGame/SaihaiNoYukue'', which revolves around the Battle of Sekigahara, portrays Western general UsefulNotes/KonishiYukinaga as a [[JerkAss rude]], greedy, and [[DirtyCoward cowardly]] man who is more interested in counting money and profit than actually fighting, and will [[ScrewThisImOuttaHere flee the battlefield at the first sight of trouble]]. This is definitely not true to history, as he was respected well enough by UsefulNotes/ToyotomiHideyoshi to be given command of the first unit in his invasion of Korea. Even Korean historical records of the man describe him as dignified, and attributed much of Japan's early success on the Korean soil to Yukinaga's effective campaigns.

* ''Film/OperationValkyrie'': Claus von Stauffenberg, leader of the failed 1944 assassination attempt against Hitler, is often portrayed as practically a saint; Creator/TomCruise played him this way in ''Film/{{Valkyrie}}''. But the German film ''Operation Valkyrie'' takes pains to point out that Stauffenberg was a Hitler supporter when Hitler first came to power in 1933. It also shows some of the unfortunate comments he made in letters to his wife from the front line in 1939 Poland, like how Poland was a "riffraff" country filled with "Jewish and mixed races" and how Polish prisoners could be made to work German farms.
