Herod
'Now Herod the tetrarch heard of all that was done by him: and he was perplexed because that it was said of some, that John was risen from the dead.' Luke 9:7
When Pilate heard Jesus was from Galilee, which came under the jurisdiction of Herod Antipas, he sent Him to Herod to be tried. But the tetrarch who already had the beheading of John the Baptist on his conscience wanted nothing more to do with prophets and sent Jesus back to Pilate.

He was the son of Herod the Great by one of the latter's five wives, Cleopatra, a native of Jerusalem. Reared amidst the intrigue of a corrupt court, he began his ruthless career at 17, when Augusta Caesar gave him as his share of his father's estate the greater portion of Galilee. When Tiberius Caesar became Emperor, Herod journeyed to Rome, where he sought to ingratiate himself with the ruler by offering his services as an informer, spying upon his own brothers, as well as, upon Roman officials in Judea.
Although he was already married to the daughter of the Arabian king Aretas, during his voyage to Rome, he fell in love with Herodias, his niece by one brother, and a wife by another, and persuaded her, together with her daughter, to accompany him back to Galilee upon his return. When John the Baptist also condemned Antipas for his incestuous union, Herodias persuaded the tetrarch to have John imprisoned, then, through her daughter, to have him beheaded.
After the death of Tiberius, Herod Antipas was sentenced to banishment by the new Emperor, Caligula, who had given a ready ear to accusations against Antipas, brought to Rome by the tetrarch's nephew, Agrippa Herod. The manner of his death is not known, but the ancient Jewish historian, Josephus, indicates that he spent his last days in Spain. He had ruled over Galilee for 43 years.1
