    The duke of Wellington could qualify, he nearly annoyed England into a 4th civil war when he was in politics.

      I’m putting Piers Gaveston on the list. He’s the one who wore the Queen’s jewels at her coronation and generally pissed enough people off until they straight up murdered him. Some of that was obviously the King’s fault, and sprinkle some sexual politics on top, but the stories about him personally also make him sound like a prick who irritated everyone around him on purpose.
