CHARLES MARTEL.

(Vol. i. pp. 86. 275.)

If Charles _Martel_ must no longer be the _Mauler_, he will only be
excluded from a very motley band. Here are a few of his repudiated
namesakes:--

1. The _Maccabæi_ from Hebr. _Makkab_, a hammer.

2. Edward I., "_Malleus_ Scotorum."

Josias Shute, among the Latin Fathers. (Lloyd's _Memoires_, p. 294.) "God
make you as Augustine, _Malleum Hæreticorum_." (Edward's _Gangraena_, Part
II. p. 17. 1646.)

4. "Robertus Grossetest, Episcopus Lincolniensis, _Romanorum Malleus_, ob.
1253." (Fulman, _Notitia Oxon_. p. 103. 2nd ed.)

5. "Petrus de Alliaco, circ. A.D. 1400, _Malleus a veritate aberrantium

6. T. Cromwell, "_Malleus Monachorum_:" "_Mauler_ of Monasteries" [Fuller,

houses." (Lloyd's _State Worthies_, i. 72. 8vo. ed.)

7. Bishop Prideaux, "_Malleus Hærese[=o]s_." (Wood, _Ath. Oxon_. iii.
