Mulmutius made our laws, Who was the first of Britain which did put His brows within a golden crown, and call’d Himself a king. Shakespeare, _Cymbeline_, act iii. sc. 1 (1605). =Mulmutius= (_Dunwallo_), son of Cloten, king of Cornwall. “He excelled all the kings of Britain in valor and gracefulness of person.” In a battle fought against the allied Welsh and Scotch armies, Mulmutius tried the very scheme which Virgil (_Æneid_, ii.) says was attempted by Æneas and his companions--that is, they dressed in the clothes and bore the arms of the enemy slain, and thus disguised, committed very great slaughter. Mulmutius, in his disguise, killed both the Cambrian and Albanian kings, and put the allied army to thorough rout.--Geoffrey, _British History_, ii. 17. Mulmutius this land in such estate maintained As his great Belsire Brute. Drayton, _Polyolbion_, viii. (1612). =Mulvaney= (_Terence_). Rollicking, epigrammatic, harum-scarum Irish trooper, in the Indian service, whose adventures and sayings are narrated in _Soldiers Three_, _The Courting of Dinah Shadd_, _etc._, by Rudyard Kipling. =Multon= (_Sir Thomas de_), of Gilsland. He is Lord de Vaux, a crusader, and master of the horse to King Richard I.--Sir. W. Scott, _The Talisman_ (time, Richard I.). =Mumblazen= (_Master Michael_), the old herald, a dependant of Sir Hugh Robsart.--Sir W. Scott, _Kenilworth_ (time, Elizabeth). =Mumbo Jumbo=, an African bogie, hideous and malignant, the terror of women and children. =Mumps= (_Tib_), keeper of the “Mumps’ Ha’ ale-hous’,” on the road to Charlie’s Hope farm.--Sir W. Scott, _Guy Mannering_ (time, George II.). =Munchau´sen= (_The Baron_), a hero of most marvellous adventures.--Rudolf Erich Raspe (a German, but storekeeper of the Dolcoath mines, in Cornwall, 1792). ⁂ The name is said to refer to Hieronymus Karl Friedrich von Münchhausen, a German officer in the Russian army, noted for his marvellous stories (1720-1797). It is also supposed to be an implied satire on the traveller’s tales of Baron de Tott, in his _Mémoires sur les Turcs et Tartares_ (1784), and those of James Bruce, “The African Traveller,” in his _Travels to Discover the Sources of the Nile_ (1790). _Munchausen_ (_The Baron_). The French Baron Munchausen is represented by M. de Crac, the hero of a French operetta. =Mu´nera=, daughter of Pollentê, the Saracen, to whom he gave all the spoils he could lay his hands on. Munera was beautiful and rich exceedingly; but Talus, having chopped off her golden hands and silver feet, tossed her into the moat.--Spenser, _Faëry Queen_, v. 2 (1596). =Mungo=, a black slave of Don Diego. Dear heart, what a terrible life am I led! A dog has a better dat’s sheltered and fed ... Mungo here, Mungo dere, Mungo everywhere ... Me wish to the Lord me was dead. I. Bickerstaff, _The Padlock_ (1768).
