The Pope Who Gave Ireland to the English
"Nicholas took the name Adrian IV, and to this day remains the only English-born Pope, and, for the Irish, one of the most controversial."
"The year after his accession, Adrian issued a "Bull," or "Laudabiliter," that authorized English King Henry II, who had petitioned him for it, the right to invade Ireland "for the correction of morals and the introduction of virtues, for the advancement of the Christian religion." Adrian is known to few people for anything he did other than issuing this Bull."

He helps Argentina over the Falklands. Makes me experience rather matey in route of Francis Drake! Papist dogs, and all that!
