3. Herod Antipas managed to antagonize virtually everyone under his realm
Often referred to as King Herod, a title which he did not hold, Antipas played a direct role in the death of John the Baptist, an indirect role in the Crucifixion of Jesus of Nazareth (he refused to find Jesus guilty of crimes and ordered him returned to Pontius Pilate), and was eventually accused of conspiring against the Roman Emperor Caligula. His divorce of his first wife led to a war with King Aretas, his former father-in-law, as well as the condemnation of John the Baptist. Herod was thus denounced by Jews, early followers of Christ, and the Roman authorities, and eventually, his position as Tetrarch in Galilee and Perea became untenable. He was sent in exile to Gaul with his second wife, Herodias, where he died sometime after 39 CE.
