King John of England:
I almost posted this one yesterday. Bc of Robin Hood, he's vilified, but he really got stuck in a bad situation. You're right, it was the barons who opposed him. He wasn't the greatest leader ever but he was not as bad as popularly believed.
Richard III is another who falls in that category. He was an able, experienced leader. Brave in battle. Shakespeare and the Tudors made sure he is remembered badly. Of course there was that murder of the princes thing.

Shakespeare also did a hatchet job on Macbeth.

Bush 1 is misunderstood because the cia director chewed the death pill. Selling missiles to the ayatollah. Failed to defeat the nicauraguan rebels. Ignored serbian atrocities. Tied for worst ever.
Sells weapons to bad people.
Fails to beat weaker opponents.
Ignores human rights abuses.
Few presidents wouldn't fall into that category (and it's a genuine shame too)
