Lord Lucy's coat of arms. The fish are pikes, and thus form a pun on the name: "lucy" is an old word for "pike"

Lucy was the second son of Sir Thomas de Lucy (formerly de Multon) of Papcastle in Cumberland, and his wife Isabel de Bolteby. He succeeded to the family estates at the age of twenty-five on the death of his brother in 1308. In 1314 he fought at the Battle of Bannockburn; after the English defeat he managed to escape the battlefield, but was later captured and ransomed. In 1318, he was appointed High Sheriff of Cumberland and assigned to defend the city and castle of Carlisle against the incursions and attacks of the Scots. In 1321 he was summoned to Parliament under the title Baron Lucy. In 1323 he obtained a grant of the castle and honour of Cockermouth.

On 25 February 1323, Luci succeeded in arresting Andrew Harclay, Earl of Carlisle at Carlisle Castle for treacherously negotiating a peace treaty with the Scots, for which Harclay was hanged, drawn and quartered. In 1323 Lucy was appointed Governor of the Castle of Carlisle. Later, he was appointed warden of the counties of Westmoreland and Cumberland during the king's absence in Aquitaine.

Lord Lucy was also nominated Chief Justiciar (equivalent to a modern Prime Minister) of Ireland in 1331 for two years. He then served a second term as High Sheriff of Cumberland from 1337 to 1342.

He died on 10 June 1343. He had married Elizabeth de Tiliol and was succeeded as Lord Lucy by his only son Thomas.

gollark: <@490656381662396418> do not make an OS.
gollark: Probably not *explicitly*, but I assume this is roughly the thinking.
gollark: I think the problem is that everyone thinks "Oh wow, CC is so unlike Windows! And I have never seen any desktop OS but Windows! I must make it more like Windows so it is more familiar. Clearly nobody else has done this, or it would already be the default, because this is obviously better"
gollark: > Instead write an actual program. Something fun, something useful, something completely useless and over-complicated. Whatever. As long as you learn a ton and have fun I don't care - that is what ComputerCraft is about :). But please don't just make an operating system.
gollark: Importantly:> Don't. Find something else interesting to write. Most operating systems end up being glorified startup screens. The ones which don't generally opt for features which are "cool" or exist in real life operating systems rather than those which make life easier for the user.
