Ian McShane: Waleran Bigod

Quotes 

• Stephen : Unfortunately, I gave Shiring to Percy Hamleigh less than an hour ago. Well, it's not official. Well, not yet. Present a strong argument for your case, and I might reconsider.

  Waleran Bigod : We could rename the church after saint of your choosing, Your Majesty. St Stephen, perhaps? Or St Elmo, the patron saint of sailors lost at sea.

• Waleran Bigod : A woman in a monastery is like a mare in heat. Even a gelding would misbehave in her presence. Monks may be celibate, but but they can still smell cunt.
