400 years since the death of Reverend Thomas Bastard, clergyman and epigrammist. He was expelled from his fellowship of New College, Oxford for libelling the clergy & academics of Oxford. Married three time, he died in a debtor's prison (though it's not clear if that's cause & effect or not), aged 52ish.
