George Jeffreys

George Jeffreys, 1st Baron Jeffreys (1645-18th April, 1689), better known as "Hanging Judge Jeffreys", became notorious during the reign of King James II, rising to the position of Lord Chancellor (and serving as Lord High Steward in certain instances). In 1980, the Fourth Doctor will mention him as one of the many great Cambridge alumni while punting with Romana ("Shada," "The Five Doctors").
