A good example would be Genghis Khan. We know about the bad things he did, but he was the first ruler to encourage religious tolerance in his kingdom. His capital city was the first to allow churches, synagogues, and mosques to stand together.
He encouraged and made possible the sharing of new ideas and trading of goods between the different cultures of his empire.Do you know any historical figure who have both good and bad sides?
Quite a lot of artists had quite rough lives.
For example, Vincent Van Gogh was an amazing, creative artist. However, he was seriously depressed.
';Every man is a moon, and has a dark side, which he never shows to anyone. If he can help it.'; --- Mark Twain
Try Henry VIII. Good king, bad husband.
