It was the law in Scotland in 1288 that for each year known as "lepe yeare" any maiden lady could ask the man she liked to be her husband. If he refused and didn't have a good excuse he would be "mulcted of ye sum of one pound or less" (essentially, he would owe her a dollar)*. France enacted a similar law a year later. * at the time of this law(1288) this was about 3 or 4 months pay for a skilled labourer= £2000/3000 now Old enough to know better(but)still young enough not to care |
