Piers Gaveston? Yes, but he wasn't slinging it up Longshanks. Longshanks was as straight as the day is long (albeit an utter savage with an admirable capacity for battering the scotch and the welch). No, he was slinging it up Longshanks' son, the future Edward II. When Gaveston was butchered by nobles in a medieval hate crime incident, Edward took up with a chap called Huge Dispenser.
