He's not the messiah, he's just a very naughty boy.
RIP Prince Herbert...
Aw, crud.
Terry Jones will mostly be remembered as an actor and member of Monty Python's Flying Circus, but he was also an historian. If you haven't read Terry Jones' Medieval Lives, which he wrote with Alan Ereia, I highly recommend it. His TV version is good, too, if you can find it. Also check out The Story of 1. That was a TV series about the history of numbers.

going to have to find some old Ripping Yarns now.

I've seen The Story of 1. Quite good. I think jones and Palin had the most interesting "post-Python" careers.
I agree about Jones and Palin being very interesting "post-Python." My personal favorite Jones is "we use only the finest baby frogs, dew-picked and flown from Iraq, cleansed in the finest quality spring water, lightly killed, and sealed in a succulent, Swiss, quintuple-smooth, treble-milk chocolate envelope, and lovingly frosted with glucose."
I think he would have appreciated this

Terry Jones goes to that great giant foot in the sky
LONDON – The world is in mourning today after it was announced that Terry Jones, distinguished actor, director, writer, and member of the beloved comedy team Monty Python, has finally made the final journey to that great giant foot in the sky.
Rest in peace, Two Sheds.
What a great artist. Rip
He also wrote one of my all time favourite movies, Labyrinth.

Farewell, Terry Jones. You will be missed.
What an impact you and your mates have had on me.
