Did I read that correctly; f***ing the King's mistress is treason?longdog wrote: From 1351

If a man do violate the King's companion, or the King's eldest daughter unmarried, or the wife of the King's eldest son and heir.
No. I think it's for situations like his fiancée or like with the Duke of Edinburgh at present, he isn't a king but is covered by the rules as companion of the queen.Arthur Rubin wrote:Did I read that correctly; f***ing the King's mistress is treason?longdog wrote: From 1351

If you are referring to the 'compass or imagine' bit I don't think predicting the death of the sovereign is what was meant... One thing we can predict with utter certainty is that they will all die just the same as the rest of us.notorial dissent wrote:So if predicting, even wrongly, the death of the sovereign then I would suspect it could be stretched, and was, at need.

It's to do with lines of succession, basically if a person were to try and insert their line into the royal one and usurp the Kings. I suppose the modern analogy would be to prevent a Joffrey.ArthurWankspittle wrote:No. I think it's for situations like his fiancée or like with the Duke of Edinburgh at present, he isn't a king but is covered by the rules as companion of the queen.Arthur Rubin wrote:Did I read that correctly; f***ing the King's mistress is treason?longdog wrote: From 1351
