The ale was provided by Lord Humphrey Parsons, a rich London brewer whose horse accidentally overran King Louis's mount during a steeplechase. Lord Humphrey Parsons offered his horse to the king, but when the king learned that the Englishman was a brewer, the king asked him to supply the court with beer instead. (The Encyclopedia of Beer.
