 Several members of tho family 



I hein'Hscs, one of these 



in William 1'aulet, \vh<> 



l>ut 14OO. His son, Sir 



John I'uiilet. secured in like fashion 



the historic domain on which 



I '..use was built, and his 



;r William 1'anlet, served 

 Henry VIII and his three children 

 in f-everal of the highest offices of 

 state. In l.Vil Sir William Paulet 

 was made marquess of Winchester, 

 and in 1689 the 5th marquess was 

 created duke of Bolton. The latter 

 title became extinct when the 6th 

 duke died in 1794, but the mar- 

 quessate passed to another branch 

 of the Paulets who still hold it. 



The other title still in this family 

 is that of Earl Poulett. In 1627 

 John Poulett, a descendant of Sir 

 Amyas, was made Lord Poulett 

 of Hinton. He was a stout royalist, 

 as was his son, the 2nd lord. John, 

 the 4th lord, was made Earl 

 Poulett in 1706, and in 1710-11 

 was first lord of the treasury and 

 nominally the head of a Tory min- 

 istry. Early in the 20th century a 

 dispute over the succession to this 

 earldom led to a cause celebre in 

 the courts. Earl Poulett's son is 

 known as Viscount Hinton, and 

 the family estate of Hinton St. 

 George, in Somerset, is one of 

 its oldest possessions. The two 

 branches of the family have adop- 

 ted different spellings of the same 

 name. See Winchester, Marquess of. 

 Paulicians. Heretical sect 

 which arose in Syria about 660, 

 under the teaching of Constantino 

 of Mananalis, who assumed the 

 name of Sylvanus. They are vari- 

 ously said to have been named 

 after S. Paul, whose teaching they 

 professed to follow, and after a 

 certain Paul who is said to have 

 preached Manichaean doctrines in 

 Armenia. While they repudiated 

 the alleged apostleship of Mam. 

 they adopted his doctrines of the 

 essential evil of matter and the 

 dualistic origin of the universe. 

 They denied the inspiration of the 

 O.T., and rejected the doctrine of 

 the Atonement. They also re- 

 pudiated the sacraments. 



Paulownia. Leaves and cluster of 

 tubular flowers 



The Paulicians were constantly 

 persecuted from the 7th till the 

 middle of the 9th century, when 

 they leagued themselves with the 

 Saracens and revolted against the 

 emperor. Finally they were defeat- 

 ed, but continued to give trouble ; 

 and early in the 10th century they 

 became powerful in Bulgaria, where 

 their teaching had spread widely. 

 At the close of tho llth century 

 they were scattered by Alexius 

 Comnenus. There are said to be a 

 few lingering remnants of the sect 

 in the Danubian Provinces, and in 

 Armenia, at the present time. See 

 The Key of Truth, F. C. Conybeare, 

 1898. 



Paulinos. English prelate. Born 

 in Rome, he became a monk, and 

 in 601 was one of those sent to 

 England by Pope Gregory I to 

 assist S. Augustine. After working 

 in Kent he went in 625 to North- 

 umbria. In 627 he baptized the 

 Northumbrian king Edwin, and 

 became the first bishop of York. 

 After the death of Edwin in 633, he 

 returned to Kent and became bishop 

 of Rochester. 



Paulinos, GAIUS SUETONIUS (fl. 

 41-69). Roman general. InA.D. 41 

 he suppressed a revolt in Mauri- 

 tania, thus extending the Roman 

 power to the base of the Atlas 

 Mountains. In 59 he was ap- 

 pointed governor of Britain, and 

 two years later subdued Anglesey, 

 the stronghold of Dniidism. 

 Summoned south to quell the Iceni, 

 who had rebelled under the leader- 

 ship of their queen, Boadicea (q.v. ), 

 Paulinus gained a decisive victory 

 over them near London. The fol- 

 lowing year he was recalled to 

 Rome, and in 66 was consul. After 

 the death of Galba, he served under 

 Otho, and in 69 was defeated toy 

 Vitellius. There is no record of his 

 ultimate fate. 



Paolistas. Descendants of the 

 first Portuguese settlers in Brazil. 

 Settled mostly round Sao Paulo, 

 whence their name, they formed a 

 vigorous and progressive race who 

 opposed with equal energy Indians,
