Tacitus Trap is a political theory named after Roman historian Tacitus, describing a situation where an unpopular government is hated no matter what it does is right or wrong. The theory was brought up in a 2007 book by Pan Zhichang from the School of Journalism and Communication at Nanjing University. In the book, he quoted Tacitus' remark on Galba, an unpopular monarch of Rome, to explain the recurrent declines of the Chinese dynasties throughout the history, "When a government is unpopular, either good policies or bad policies tells against the government itself." Since China’s paramount leader and general secretary Xi Jinping's usage in 2014, the term became increasingly popular in journalism and academia in China.

Nothing else is known of him, apart from one peculiar incident discovered by William Matthews. A collection of Chancery proceedings includes a petition brought against Malory by Richard Kyd, parson of Papworth, claiming that Malory ambushed him on a November evening and took him from Papworth to Huntingdon, and then to Bedford and on to Northampton, all the while threatening his life and demanding that he either forfeit his church to Malory or give him 100 pounds. The outcome of this case is unknown, but it seems to indicate that this Malory was something other than an ordinary country gentleman. However, there is no evidence that this Malory was ever actually knighted and the very specific use of the word "knight" in respect of the author Malory tells against him.
