Sexual Preference Not Changed By Woo-Hooing?

I'm afraid among some upper-class males "droit de seigneur" still hasn't really died out, they still think it's okay if the girl isn't of their own class!

Did you know that even George Bush is related somewhere in the past to our Royals? (I believe it was the "wrong side of the blanket", and how many people in the world are there who can claim that, I wonder? One thing you can say about them, they're prolific breeders!)
Well, that certainly explains a lot. And this is why I am ever thankful I don't have any of that on me.
ZephyrZodiac:
Are you sure?

Heh. Nice to see some old customs never bite the dust. Wasn't that quaint custom started by the Normans (oh to apostophise or not???) after the invasion of 1066 so they could a)outbreed the Saxons b)make certain they got all the land and was practised regularly to make certain the Lord of the Land had as many bastards as possible to keep any legitimate sons in check? An interesting political strategy, would you not agree?
ZephyrZodiac:
It may have started out as a political strategy, and was no doubt extremely successful, but rather past its sell-by date, I think!
