Vassilis the Insufferable (reconstructed Middle Saxender: Βασιλικός; c. 2861-2837 BL) was king of the Saxenders from 2844 BL until his death in 2837. He was the second of two children of King Aggelos the Great.

The reign of Vassilis was marked with oppression against his peoples, coinciding with numerous revolts that he was unable to suppress in Saxendia. In 2837, his first cousin, Prokopis the Stabiliser, overthrew Vassilis and had him beheaded and burned. Following his death, his various riches were distributed across the nation, whilst a new dynasty, the Prokopisian Dynasty, was founded, named after Prokopis.
