Lumberd, a layman

Biography
Confessed to Pope Innocent III that on an expedition with Harald, earl of Caithness, he was forced by some of the earl's army to cut out the tongue of John, bishop of Caithness. He was given a hefty penance which included having his own tongue 'tied by a string and drawn out so as to project beyond his lips, and the ends of the string bound round his neck' and walk for fifteen days consecutively.
