The Earl of Oxford in the court of Queen Elizabeth I accidentally broke wind in “the presence” of the Queen.

He went into self imposed exile from court for seven years.

When he came back to court Queen Elizabeth remarked “No need to have stayed gone so long, we had all quite forgotten about the fart.”
