N2  - Dick Whittington is the English folklore surrounding the real-life Richard Whittington (c. 1354–1423), a wealthy merchant and later Lord Mayor of London. The legend describes his rise from poverty-stricken childhood with the fortune he made through the sale of his cat to a rat-infested country.
