I may be wrong but the earliest reference that I can find to the phrase “Who will rid me of this meddlesome priest?” is in 1964 when Peter O’Toole says it.

[@rin_etoware_2989]

Robert Dodsley's Chronicle of the Kings of England (1740) gives the quote as "O wretched Man that I am, who shall deliver me from this turbulent Priest?," but there's actually a contemporary source to the events that quoted the King as saying, "What miserable drones and traitors have I nurtured and promoted in my household who let their lord be treated with such shameful contempt by a low-born cleric!"

The Puritans. Not such nice people those pilgrims. Very anti Catholic.

Fascinating - however these "academics" inhabit a closed reality and are all too often removed from reality.

Mediaeval history isn’t real presumably?
