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." 3. "St. Augustine, that _Maul_ of heretics, was in chief repute with" 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 indefessus_ appellari solebat." (Wharton in _Keble's Hooker_, i. 102.) 6. T. Cromwell, "_Malleus Monachorum_:" "_Mauler_ of Monasteries" [Fuller, if I recollect rightly, quoted by Carlyle]. Also, "_Mawling_ religious houses." (Lloyd's _State Worthies_, i. 72. 8vo. ed.) 7. Bishop Prideaux, "_Malleus Hærese[=o]s_." (Wood, _Ath. Oxon_. iii. |
