Example of leaders/people in history who were prideful?

Think: all men make mistakes, But a good man yields when he Knows his course is wrong, and repairs the evil: The only Crime is pride.

I have to write an essay about this usually an example from history, news, or literature. I find history easier to understand and explain, but I'm not sure who to use for my example. Any suggestions?

    King David, in Biblical times, always humbled himself, and he survived a long while, while most failed to repent and got kicked out of kingship.

    The Romans were conquered by Barbarians, people they may as well have spat upon.

    Think about all the dictators.
