Awesome historical figures who were complete dorks

Has Kaiser Frederick II, the Stupor Mundi been mentioned?
No but I would like to hear about his dorkyness
Julius Caesar, when he was young, apparently wrote poetry about Hercules. That apparently was bad enough for Augustus to have it suppressed.

So he pretty much wrote crappy fanfiction.
they must have been if the emperor banned it since I’m pretty sure all young educated men of the time did stuff like that.
 
Oliver Cromwell loved a pillow fight

Beyond the bounds of the OP really but the heir to the throne of Brunei is into 40k, or at least was. I remember an issue of White Dwarf around 1999 doing a little article on GW Hong Kong flying out stuff for him for the upcoming edition. Since then I've heard his dorky hobby mentioned several times.
