Bishop Despenser (real name Henry le Despenser) is pretty much the perfect name for the infamous bloodthirsty nobleman who was instrumental in suppressing rebellions in 14th century England.

the best thing about this chap is that he was called 'the warrior bishop'

also that he absolved the soul of the rebel leader he defeated in combat and executed

Laertiades (imago), Saturday, 26 March 2016 18:08 (eight years ago) link

"A number of the rebels were killed but some, including Geoffrey Lister, were captured, tried, and then executed. Despenser displayed his 'mercy and piety' by hearing Lister's confession himself, absolved him and then accompanied him to the gallows, during which journey he 'held up the rebel's head to prevent it knocking on the ground while he was being dragged to the place of his hanging'."

1381: The Year of the Peasants' Revolt, pp 349-350

This story is based on writings from a very anti-rebel monastic chronicler who is known to have falsified a number of events through official writings. In the case of Lister there are multiple other sources confirming that he was beheaded.

There was a Crow indian leader named No Intestines.

I really want to know how he got that name.

Former pupils are known as Old Sexonians.

I bet that's what their spouses call them as well.
