This is actually still in effect.

British law states that if you shoot a Welshman with a longbow from the other side of the Welsh border, it's not murder.

I don't think I understand correctly... Is the law saying if you shoot a Welshman in Wales with a longbow, you can't be tried for murder in England?

If you shoot a Welshman who is in Wales while you are standing on the English side of the border you can't be tried. Or at least that's my understanding of it. Meant to keep out invaders or whatever.

Fun fact: Howe is actually a treasonous God-fearing loyalist. He plays a New English patriot disguise.

After pope Gregory the IX associated cats with devil worship. Cats in europe were being exterminated by the thousands. That lead to a large boost in rat population which spread diseases such as the bubonic plague which killed 100 Million people, about 1/3 of all Europe's population.

Uhm, Europe's population was only about 70 million around 1300....Yes it's true the plague killed 1/3 of the population, but the exact number is closer to 20 or 30 million.

Just to clarify, thats in the world not just europe. Yes 1/3 of europeans but in total at this time frame the estimate number of deaths caused by the bubonic plague around the world are 1000.

[Duuring]

Probably shouldn't have put '1/3 of all Europe's population' behind '100 million people' then.

The Moonlanding was neither staged nor did it happen. In reality a race of Hyper Intelligent Aliens inserted this memory into our brains. We were their first test of this new technology. Ever since then the Aliens are messing around with our minds.

Numbers give or take and I don't know how true this is but given how crazy people are over here I don't expect much. I read something sometime ago at an unknown location last year how about 12 million Americans believe Lizard people control world politics and how every politician and person of nobility are lizards.
