Actually, Grosseteste (aka Bobby Fathead--and not "Bobby Big Balls", as
my husband kept joking) died in 1253. Grosseteste is quite a significant
scholarly figure of the 13th century, writing numerous theological and
scientific works, as well as things like books of manners in Norman
French :-) As Bishop of Lincoln, he headed a pretty big household,
including numerous sons of nobility sent to learn them some manners.

friend of Bobby Fathead (hey, he's my SCA persona's bishop, although
he's due to die in a couple of years :-)
