When Triboulet, a court jester, violated an order of Francis I forbidding Triboulet to make jokes about the queen and courtesans, the king ordered his execution.
Francis granted Triboulet the right to choose how he would die.
The jester said “Good sire, by Saint Goody Two-Shoes and Saint Fatbelly, patrons of insanity, I ask to die from old age.”
Laughing, the king ordered that Triboulet not be executed but instead be banished from the realm.
