    The Magna Carta? “If a man dies owing money to Jews, the debt is cancelled” or “No widow shall be compelled to mary”? Somehow, I think the first is more in line with their philosophy… maybe “Heirs may be given in marriage, but not someone of a lower social standing”.

    How utterly bizarre… besides the fact hardly any of it is still in force even in England!
