The winner of this round is Paul Keating, who has, however,  informed me he is
unavailable to deal the next round, so that task falls to  2nd place player Glenn Davis.

Bernhard Knipperdolling, also know as Berndt Knipperdollinck (1495-1536) was the leader of the
Münster Anabaptists, who overthrew the town council and bishop, and, according to Wikipedia,
rallied the Anabaptists against conservative forces with "frenzied ecstasies."
