Speaking of "coincidence", I note that the voluminous
_Dictionary of National Biography_ amongst its various
people surnamed "Grey" (Like Jack Grey in _Pale Fire_)
lists one Baron with that surname, christened Thomas
(1623-1657) labeled as a "regicide" with respect to
King Charles I of England. Curious!
