First time I ever saw the name Percival was in a comic book where someone had the ability to figure out people’s names. He somehow ended up in prison. A mean-looking prisoner did not like that the man knew his name. He later got a job naming babies.
But Percy I had heard. He was a music director on a Christmas album (maybe two) my parents had, and now he is one of my favorite artists, Christmas or not.

“Shimpling”? “1408”?

He’s in Shakespeare. A colorful guy. In fact, these days he’s more known from Shakespeare than from history.

Shakespeare was impressive but his cousin, Vibratesjavelin was beyond compare!!

1408 was made into a movie? I read the short story.

“… but the DVD cover will be fly.” … (Gaggle Gaggle Gaggle) …
slang for “cool” or “awesome”, but we all knew that …
I Gaggled to learn how it started & found “feeling fly” was
used in the 1939 novel, Grapes of Wrath … to mean sexually
excited … but it kept going back to the 1600s, so I quit.
Who knew …?

I wasn’t there, but the wikipedia entry contradicts several of Bucky’s ‘facts’.
