Frederic Tudor (September 4, 1783 – February 6, 1864) was an American businessman and merchant. Known as Boston's "Ice King", he was the founder of the Tudor Ice Company. During the early 19th century, he made a fortune shipping ice to the Caribbean, Europe, and even as far away as India from sources of fresh water ice in New England.
The Tudor Ice Company harvested ice in a number of New England ponds for export and distribution throughout the Caribbean, Europe, and India from 1826 to 1892.
Tudor ice was harvested at Walden Pond in Concord, Fresh Pond in Cambridge, Spy Pond in Arlington, Sandy Pond in Ayer, Horn Pond in Woburn, Lake Quannapowitt in Wakefield, Haggett's Pond in Andover, Suntaug Lake in Lynnfield, Spot Pond and Doleful Pond in Stoneham, and Wenham Lake in Wenham (all places in Massachusetts).
Tudor was the third son of William Tudor, a wealthy Boston lawyer. Although his older brother William Tudor (1779–1830) would become one of Boston's leading literary figures, Tudor spurned the chance to be educated at Harvard and from the age of 13 occupied himself with business. After a visit to the Caribbean, he decided he could make a fortune exporting ice from the ponds of Massachusetts.
The Ice King (voiced by Tom Kenny), formerly known as Simon Petrikov, is a fictional character in the television series Adventure Time.
The Ice King is a frequent antagonist and occasional ally of Finn and Jake who kidnaps princesses throughout Ooo to forcefully marry them, Princess Bubblegum being his usual target. His ice-based magic abilities come from a magical crown he wears, which directly causes his insanity. Though defined as completely crazy by many, the Ice King is actually lonely and misunderstood, having a generally benevolent relationship with the penguins of his realm (and when he briefly had a wife, actually treated her with great care and love. Whenever he kidnapped princesses, he treated them with care and respect. Their only protest was that they didn't like him and he occasionally could become possessive and slightly creepy). Despite rarely meaning harm, the Ice King is still potentially very dangerous due to his power and his unstable mind. Furthermore, unaware that the two learned of his origins as Simon Petrikov before being driven insane by the crown's influence, he is secretly envious of Finn and Jake for being such good friends.

Z Fredericka Tudora śmiał się cały Boston. Wymyślił, że zrobi wielką fortunę na handlu lodem. Wycinał wielkie bloki z zamarzniętych stawów, ładował na statki i wysyłał do upalnych Indii Zachodnich. W 1806 roku "Boston Gazette" drwiła: "Mamy nadzieję, że sprawa nie okaże się cokolwiek śliska". W ciągu następnych 50 lat, Tudor zdobył majątek, wyceniany na 200 mln dolarów.
