Wormwood is mentioned only once in the New Testament, in the Book of Revelation: "The third angel blew his trumpet, and a great star fell from heaven, blazing like a torch, and it fell on a third of the rivers and on the springs of water. The name of the star is Wormwood. A third of the waters became wormwood, and many died from the water, because it was made bitter." () The Greek word Apsinthos, which is rendered with the English "wormwood", is believed to refer to a plant of the genus Artemisia, used metaphorically to mean something with a bitter taste.

In general he backed the Talbots, but Ormonde persuaded him to appoint Chevir as his deputy in 1442.Patent Roll 20 Henry VI- 2 August "William Chevyr, deputy to the Treasurer.." According to Thordon's later complaint to the Privy Council, Chevir was guilty of such obvious maladministration that Thorndon refused to reappoint him as deputy in 1443,Griffiths p.417 whereupon Ormonde in retaliation despoiled Thorndon's property. Both sides to the feud made bitter complaints to the English Crown, which however was more interested in ending the feud than punishing those involved,Otway-Ruthven, A.J.

Saudi Arabia's monarchy, on the other hand, is conservative, not revolutionary, and its religious leaders have long supported monarchy where the king was given absolute obedience as long as he did not violate Islamic sharia law. Saudi Arabia has, however, a Shia minority which has made bitter complaints about institutional discrimination against it, and whom at times has been urged to overthrow the king. Both countries are major oil exporters but have clashed over energy policy. Saudi Arabia, with its large oil reserves and smaller population, has a greater interest in taking a long-term view of the global oil market and incentive to moderate prices.

Gravey performed in four films in 1913 and 1914 (as Fernand Mertens), but his first film of importance was L'Amour Chante, released in 1930. In 1933, he made Bitter Sweet, his first English language movie, which became more famous in its 1940 incarnation with Jeanette MacDonald and Nelson Eddy. In 1937, after several more French and British movies, Gravey went to Hollywood, where the spelling of his last name was altered to Gravet, and he became the focus of a rather extensive Hollywood publicity campaign (instructing moviegoers to pronounce his name properly: "Rhymes with Gravy"). Unfortunately for Gravey, he was offered only standard parts, the type of Gallic-lover roles that Louis Jourdan played in the 1950s and 1960s.

Although Þorvarðr had acted to avenge violence done to himself by the bishop's retainers, he had also avenged Ívar even if it was by killing Mangús' father the Bishop rather than Magnús himself who had fled the country. Margrét considered the killing a sufficient act of vengeance, honoured her promise and married Þorvarðr. It is worth noting that Ívar and Margrét's father was Vigfús Ívarsson Hólm who for many years had been the representative (hirðstjóri) of the Danish king in the region. Jöns had thus made bitter enemies of several high ranking Icelanders for no immediately discernible reason other than a desire to use his office to enrich himself as quickly as possible.

The Hungarian victory was made bitter-sweet by the fact that they could not recapture four of their guns which had been taken by the Austrians.. Additionally, György Klapka, normally a very capable general, had made a considerable tactical error in giving the order to attack Tápióbicske, because in doing so he had revealed the location of his troops. Because of this, Görgei did not dare to give the order for the encirclement of the main imperial forces at Isaszeg and Gödöllő. According to László Pusztaszeri, Klapka thereby prevented a decisive Hungarian victory over Windisch-Grätz.. Róbert Hermann believes that although Görgei was uncertain what to do, he finally decided to order his troops to continue their movements according to the initial plan.. On the other hand, after the battle on 4 April, Jelačić falsely reported a Croat victory over the Hungarians. This misled Windisch- Grätz, who did not understand what was happening on the south-eastern front, and contributed to him ordering the Ban of Croatia (Jelačić) to pursue the Hungarians, who in reality were not fleeing but nearing Gödöllő.
