John Arundell (of Lanherne, died 1557)

Sir John Arundell (c. 1500 – 1557), was MP for Cornwall in 1554[1] He was also Sheriff of Cornwall in 1541–42 and 1554.

He was the eldest son of John Arundell (1474–1545), who was termed "the most important man in the county", and his first wife Lady Eleanor Grey, daughter of Thomas Grey, 1st Marquis of Dorset and Cecily Bonville, 7th Baroness Harington. The politician Thomas Arundell of Wardour Castle, who was executed for treason in 1552, was his younger brother. John was arrested and imprisoned with his brother, but never stood trial. He was in favour with the Catholic Queen Mary I, since unlike his brother he inclined to the Roman Catholic religion.

Memorial

The memorial brass commemorating John and Elizabeth at St Mawgan in Pydar is lost, but a fragment still remains.

gollark: Enterprise-level, fully deterministic execution of random code. Totally secure!
gollark: ```pythonimport itertoolsimport multiprocessing as mchars = [chr(x) for x in range(32, 126)]chars.extend(["\t", "\n"])def generate_for_length(length): return map(lambda chars: "".join(chars),itertools.combinations(chars, length))def generate(): for i in itertools.count(): for s in generate_for_length(i): yield sif __name__ == "__main__": def start(func): proc = m.Process(target=func) proc.start() io_queue = m.Queue(maxsize=128) def printer(): while True: print(io_queue.get()) code_queue = m.Queue(maxsize=128) def generator(): for x in generate(): code_queue.put(x) def executor(): while True: code = code_queue.get() result = None try: result = repr(exec(code)) except Exception as e: result = repr(e) if result != None: io_queue.put(code + ": " + result) start(generator) for _ in range(4): start(executor) printer()```
gollark: Which do you think is slower: the execution or generation of strings?
gollark: ```pythonimport itertoolschars = [chr(x) for x in range(32, 126)]chars.extend(["\t", "\n"])def generate_for_length(length): return map(lambda chars: "".join(chars),itertools.combinations(chars, length))def generate(): for i in itertools.count(): for s in generate_for_length(i): yield sfor x in generate(): try: print(exec(x)) except Exception as e: print(f"{e} from {x}")```
gollark: I should multithread this!
