And upon further review...

Well, that took me all of 2 minutes to refute my own findings...

Google's arch-nemesis, the evil Wikipedia, fired back and states:

A popular myth concerning d'Aviano says that he invented the Cappuccino after the Battle of Vienna.[2] No mention of this occurs in any of d'Aviano's biographies or in any contemporary historical sources. Indeed, the story does not appear until the late 1980s, which indicates that it was possibly made up as a joke.

still, it's a cool name right?

And I don't even drink coffee...

So the name of my site, The Frothy Friar, came from a game I ran years ago with my regular group. It was about the party finding the deed to a Tavern on a dead adventurer and then going to claim it as their own only to find out that it might have been more trouble than it was worth.
