There would be some stiff competition for that title.
Richard II most probably had two young nephews murdered to prevent them from succeeding him. Their possible future claims to the throne turned out to be the least of his worries.

I think you need to add an 'I' to #4, you are thinking of Richard III of York, the infamous 'hunchback' of Shakespeare's historical play. In that case I do agree, he belongs in that selection.

Drat, I wish we had an edit function - Richard II is 'Hunchback', Richard III is the usurper and likely orderer of the deaths of the 'Princes in the Tower', Edward V & Richard of Shrewsbury.

Neither were very nice people but especially to their family!
