* ''TabletopGame/Warhammer40000'': Whenever a renowned or respected hero of the Imperium dies, the Bell of Lost Souls is rung in their memory. According to legend, the Emperor of Mankind sheds a single tear each time it tolls, despite the fact that he is a withered, mummified husk on life support.

* ''WesternAnimation/SnowWhiteAndTheSevenDwarfs'': All seven dwarfs cry over Snow White's DisneyDeath. That includes Grumpy, who lead the attempt to rescue Snow White and therefore is easily the manliest of them. This scene may also have invoked a meta example of this trope at its first showing; after months prior to the release of people calling the movie "Disney's Folly," saying that an hour and a half of color/animation would drive people mad, etc., a bunch of grown celebrities, men as well as women, burst into tears over the sight of a dead cartoon character.

Animator Ward Kimbal sat behind Creator/ClarkGable and couldn't help but notice him using a handkerchief during that scene.

* George Washington was chosen as commander-in-chief of the Continental Army by the Second Continental Congress. In private, he was said to have wept, terrified he that wouldn't be a good leader (ironically this humility was part of what would make him a great one).
* Andrew Jackson, the baddest of the badasses, was not immune to tears:
** He wept after his victory at New Orleans as he recalled the final words of his mother (Jackson was orphaned at 14).
** After his wife Rachel died, he wept so long and so hard that he lost his voice the next morning. He managed to compose himself up to her funeral, but upon giving a eulogy, he broke down and wept openly, apologizing to his guests for being "unmanly". After his presidency, he retired to the Hermitage where he'd visit Rachel’s tomb every night at sunset and "water her grave with his tears".
* Sam Houston had rushed to see Andrew Jackson upon hearing he was dying only to arrive a mere hour too late. He went to pay his respects and according to several accounts, “the towering Texan sank to his knees and openly wept over the body”.
* When Jean Lannes, one of Napoleon's finest marshalls and closest friends was fatally injured by a cannonball, Napoleon rushed to his side and wept openly as he embraced him, crying, "You shall live, my friend, you shall live!" to which Lannes replied, "I wish it so, if I can yet be of service to France and your Majesty".
* The Duke of Wellington, AKA the "Iron Duke", wept after hearing the number of casualties following the Battle of Waterloo.
