I imagine that Wiles, who originally created this page, was likely thinking of the 14th century legend of Sir Robert de Shuland - essentially, the man killed a monk and went to the king to get a pardon for the crime. The king was, at the time, in a ship off of the Isle of Sheppy, which is where the Shuland estate is, so Sir Robert rode his horse Grey Dolphin out in the water to meet him. He got the pardon, but when he swam back he was approached by a witch, who warned him that Grey Dolphin would be the death of him. He immeadiately killed the horse. Dick move.

A few years later, Sir Robert was walking along the beach, and in a classical ironic twist, he stepped on the remains buried in the sand, cut his foot, and died of infection.
