John Oldcastle

John Oldcastle

Sir John Oldcastle (v. 1378 – 14 décembre 1417), fut un leader Lollard anglais. Il fut jugé pour hérésie contre l'Église, mais parvint à s'échapper de la Tour de Londres. Capturé à nouveau, il fut exécuté, et devint un martyr. Il est présumé être le modèle qui servit au Falstaff de Shakespeare. Il épousa Joan l'héritière du titre de baron de Cobham, ce qui lui permit de siéger au parlement. Il était aussi connu en tant que "bon seigneur Cobham".

Biographie

Falstaff de Shakespeare est basé en partie sur lui.
