For those who didn’t follow the link:
But what was the reason for Henry’s condemnation by the University to five and a half centuries of infamy? It was a murder. In 1242 he and a number of other men of the town of Oxford were found guilty of murdering a student of the University. Henry and his accomplices were fined £80 by King Henry III in May 1242 and were made to leave Oxford as a result, forced to stay away (and allowed no closer than Northampton) at least until the King returned from abroad.
Further research is needed to discover the exact details of what happened here but it seems that Henry Symeonis had bought the King’s pardon and his permission to return to Oxford. The King was willing to allow his return if the University agreed to it. But the University refused and chose to ignore the King’s order of 25 March 1264, resuming its hostility to Henry Symeonis. In fact, it felt so strongly about it, that it gave Henry Symeonis the unique honour of being named in its own statutes, making the University’s dislike of him official and perpetual.
So they did know who he was and what he did.
“By 1608, SOME people didn’t know who he was. We mention them here for higher article clickability.”
Man, boarding school kids always got the easy treatment.
Sounds like people do know who he was and what he had done. Clickbait headline.
Fair on them really.
Wonder why it was only Masters of Arts students?
Or was that the only Masters Degree Oxford had?
Their Computer Science department sucked back then.
Lol
Forget, but don’t forgive!
I don’t know who you are or what you did, but fuck you!
Meanwhile, Ea-Nasir and his shitty copper will never, ever be forgotten.
I know what you did in 1263
Fuck Henry Symeonis, all my homies hate Henry Symeonis.
I’m going to try and make “You look like you’re friends with Henry Symeonis” a casual insult. Wish me luck.
thats so fetch.
