Question: Who was the father of the monarch under who Richard Nykke was a bishop?
Context: Mary I (18 February 1516 – 17 November 1558) was the Queen of England and Ireland from July 1553 until her death.  Mary is best known for her aggressive and bloody pursuit of the restoration of Roman Catholicism in England and Ireland in an attempt to reverse the English Reformation of her father, Henry VIII. Alexis Canoz S.J., (8 September 1805 – 2 December 1888) was a Jesuit missionary in India and was the first bishop of Trichy.  He was born on 8 September 1805 at Sellières, France.  In 1846 the Madura Mission was made into a vicariate Apostolic with Msgr. Canoz as its first vicar Apostolic; He was ordained a bishop on 29 Jun 1847 by Archbishop Louis (de Sainte Thérèse) Martini, with Bishop Clément Bonnand and Bishop Marion-Brésillac acting as Principal Co-Consecrators.  In 1886, on the establishment of the catholic hierarchy in India, the Madura Vicariate was made the Diocese of Trichy with Msgr. Canoz becoming its first bishop.  He participated in the first Vatican council as a Church father. Maha Vajiralongkorn Bodindradebayavarangkun (Thai: มหาวชิราลงกรณ บดินทรเทพยวรางกูร , rtgs: "Mahawachiralongkon Bodinthrathepphayawarangkun" ,  ] ; born 28 July 1952) is the King of Thailand, since 2016.  He is the only son of King Bhumibol Adulyadej and Queen Sirikit.  In 1972, at the age of 20, he was made crown prince by his father.  After his father's death on 13 October 2016, he was expected to succeed to the throne of Thailand but asked for time to mourn before taking the throne.  He accepted the throne on the night of 1 December 2016 but will not be crowned formally until after the cremation of his father, expected to be on 26 October 2017.  His father Bhumibol's coronation took place four years after his accession.  The government retroactively declared his reign to have begun on 13 October 2016, upon his father's death.  As the tenth monarch of the Chakri Dynasty, he is also styled as Rama X.  At the age of 64, Vajiralongkorn is the oldest Thai monarch to ascend to the throne. Richard Nykke (or Nix or Nick; c. 1447–1535) was bishop of Norwich, the last Roman Catholic to hold the post before the Henrician reform.  Described as "ultra-conservative", but also "much-respected", he maintained an independent line and was embroiled in conflict until blind and in his last years.  He is often called the last Catholic bishop of the diocese, but that title is also claimed by John Hopton, bishop under Mary I of England.  Norwich at this time was the second-largest conurbation in England, after London. Donald E. Pelotte SSS (April 13, 1945 – January 7, 2010) was the third Roman Catholic bishop of the Diocese of Gallup, New Mexico.  He was the first person of Native American descent to become a Catholic bishop in the United States; Philadelphia Archbishop Charles J. Chaput, O.F.M. Cap. , is the only active American diocesan bishop of Native American descent.  He is also the only known Roman Catholic bishop to have ordained his own twin brother.  Bishop Pelotte ordianed Father Dana F. Pelotte, SSS, to the priesthood, on September 4, 1999 in their childhood parish of Waterville, Maine. Richard de Pilmuir [Pilmor, Pylmore] (died 1347) was a 14th-century bishop of Dunkeld.  He was a brother of John de Pilmor, bishop of Moray.  He was precentor of the bishopric of Moray when, following the death of bishop William Sinclair, the canons of Dunkeld held an election.  This happened in the year 1337.  The result was disputed.  Richard's election was challenged by Maol Choluim de Innerpeffray.  The dispute was taken to the papal court.  Pope Benedict XII passed the question on to Cardinal Bertrand du Pouget, bishop of Ostia, for judgment.  In July 1344 the cardinal declared the election of both null and void, but appointed Richard to the bishopric.  Richard, as bishop of Dunkeld, maintained connections with Moray.  On 20 October 1345 he is found along with his brother at Elgin Cathedral.  Along with other Scottish bishops, he signed a letter addressed to the pope asking requesting legitimation of Robert Stewart's marriage to Elizabeth Mure.  He died sometime in November 1347. The Clink was a prison in Southwark, England, which operated from the 12th century until 1780.  The prison served the Liberty of the Clink, a local manor area owned by the Bishop of Winchester rather than by the reigning monarch.  As the Liberty owner, the Bishop kept all revenues from the Clink Liberty, and could put people in prison for failing to make their payments.  As the Bishop, he could also imprison heretics.  The Clink prison was situated next to the Bishop's London-area residence of Winchester Palace.  The Clink was possibly the oldest men's prison and probably the oldest women's prison in England. John Richard Satterthwaite (17 November 1925 - 23 May 2014) was Bishop of Gibraltar and at the same time Bishop of Fulham (the suffragan bishop charged by the Bishop of London with the oversight of Anglican congregations in North and Central Europe), during which appointments he was called "Bishop of Fulham and Gibraltar".  In 1980, when the new Diocese in Europe was created from the union of those two jurisdictions, he became Bishop in Europe ("Bishop of Gibraltar in Europe" in full) in the last third of the 20th century. Father of the Nation is an honorific title given to a man considered the driving force behind the establishment of his country, state, or nation.  Pater Patriae (plural Patres Patriae), also seen as "Parens Patriae", was a Roman honorific meaning "Father of the Fatherland", bestowed by the Senate on heroes, and later on emperors.  In monarchies, the monarch was often considered the "father/mother of the nation" or as a patriarch to guide his family.  This concept is expressed in the Divine Right espoused in some monarchies, while in others it is codified into constitutional law as in Spain, where the monarch is considered the personification and embodiment, the symbol of the unity and permanence of the nation.  In Thailand, the monarch is given the same recognition, and demonstrated loyalty is enforced with severe criminal statutes. Augustin Pacha (November 26, 1870—November 4, 1954) was a Romanian cleric, the first bishop of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Timișoara.  Born into a Banat Swabian family in Măureni ("Moritzfeld"), Caraş-Severin County, he was the twelfth of thirteen children and his father was a shoemaker.  Following theological studies at the diocesan seminary in Timișoara, he was ordained a priest in 1893 in the city's Roman Catholic cathedral.  In 1927 he was consecrated bishop at the Timișoara cathedral, becoming titular bishop of Lebedus.  Three years later, he became the first Bishop of Timișoara, a diocese succeeding the former one at Cenad, the last bishop having departed Romania in 1923, leaving Pacha as Apostolic Administrator.  In February 1934, alarmed by rising Nazi sentiment among the Swabians of his diocese, he visited Adolf Hitler, receiving a polite reply to his complaints but no concrete action.
