And on that note a useless bit of information for you, many years ago my fathers mother traced her side of the family to guy called Sir John Popham, in 1592 he was made Chief justice of the queens bench, during his legal career he was involved in several famous trials, more info here:My policy will be to abolish burning at the stake. Well, for heretics anyway. Obviously.
Mind you, he did try the Gunpowder Plotters, which is pretty topical for the time of year.He was a bloody man.
