"Richard Whittington (c. 1354–1423) was a medieval merchant and politician, and the real-life inspiration for the pantomime character Dick Whittington. Richard Whittington was Lord Mayor of London and a Member of Parliament. ... ... Dick Whittington is a character in a British pantomime, very loosely based on Richard Whittington.
