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
