Bad timing with historical scenarios

Edward the Black Prince is another one. He was popular and won all kinds of battles in France, but then died one year before his father, and never became king.
 
Of course you do get the opposite effect, too - Octavian will forever be 'Caesar's successor' despite being the more successful warleader, the better politician and the goddamn founder of the goddamn Roman goddamn Empire dammit!

Trust me, I, at least, know him as the better man. ;)
