Rupert of the Rhine
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
Prince Rupert of the Rhine fought in the English Civil War. He had a poodle called Boye that was used by Parzival in order to gain influence with the King. Using the influence of the Parzival, the opposing side was left stunned, unable to move and speak, while their weapons were collected up. (DWA: Dog of War!)
