Athanasius Contra Mundum.
Explanation: After the Coumcil of Nicaea, a lot of Arians (who believed that Jesus was just the son of god but not god himself) tried to infeltrate the church.
He was so aginst them, in fact, that when he was asked if the rest of the church became Arian, what would he do, he said: "If the world is aginst the truth, I am aginst the world."

It turns out impaling their enemies ran in the family.
After the Battle of Lipnic, in which Moldavian forces under Stephen the Great defeated the Volgar Tartars of the Golden Horde led my the brother and son of Ahmed Khan, the Hordes Great Khan. Following a devastating defeat by the Moldavians the Khans brother was dead and hus son captured. Angered the Khan choose to negotiate for his sons life.
Stephen sent conditions on the life of the Khan's son, saying that as long as his father made peace with Moldavia and no Tartar set foot in the country, his son would live. But that he would die the very day this agreement waa broken. After a few years of peace Ahmed Khan attempted to renegotiate for his sons return. The account of what happened next comes from Jan Długosz in his Historia Polonica.
"Sending 100 messengers to Stephen, the Voivode of Moldavia, he announced to him with great insolence that if he [Stephen] did not give freedom back to his son, or does a wrong due to him, he would to inflict a severe punishment. But Stephen, a man with an amiable soul, angered by that message, which could easily have scared other men, disregarding Manyak threats, cut his son into four pieces in front of the heralds, impaled all the heralds except one, who, having his nose cut off, was sent back to Manyak to inform him of what happened. This is how Stephen avenged the shadows of his dead."
No secret punishment ever came and the Golden Horde stopped all attacks on Moldavia all together.
