Sorry, we don't allow "example seeking" questions. It's not that your question was bad; it's that these kinds of questions tend to produce threads that are collections of disjointed, partial responses. That makes a lot of work for moderators, and we just don't have the staff to cope. If you have a question about a specific historical event, period, or person, feel free to rewrite your question and submit it again. If you don't want to rewrite it, you might try submitting it to /r/history /r/askhistory, or /r/tellmeafact.

For further explanation of the rule, feel free to consult this META thread.
