Back to my usual routine
++Ęgidius Ahenobarbus Julius Agricola de Hammo (Farmer Giles of Ham)
For the excessively grand name and his anakronistic blunderbuss. And also for issuing a law against unpleasant prophecy once he became king. Unpleasant prophecies are very useful. If you hear a prophecy telling that, say, your city is about to be besieged for ten years, then you'll have time to gather enough food before your enemies arrive. Or if a disastrous earthquake is predicted, you'll know that you should evacuate. Forbidding these prophecies is a dangerous thing!
So down with the blunderbuss-toting, Latin-named, forbidder of useful warnings!
