Stephenson:Neal:Quicksilver:197:Knott Bolstrood (Jeremy Bornstein)

From the Quicksilver Metaweb.

The footnote tells us that the king gave Bolstrood the title Lord Penistone so that he would be unable to write his name without writing "penis." This childish humor seems consistent with the behavior of Charles II but I have been unable to discover if he actually did grant this title to anyone nonfictional.
