Noble Friends,
On this date in 1381 King Richard II had the radical Lollard priest John
Ball hanged and drawn and quartered. Ball was one of the principal
instigators of the Peasants' Revolt, aka Wat Tyler's Rebellion, and
composed the famous rhyme "When Adam delved and Eve span, Who was then
the gentleman?" Read more about John Ball here:

Yours Aye,
Lord Mungo Napier, Who is No Po-8
