Another Expedition to the World of Freeman Law

[Hairyloon]

While the mention of Magna Carta is a good indication that one should be alert for woo, one should not dismiss anyone who does so as an adherent.

Freeman indicates (or did then) a man who was not bound to the land as a villein, but who did not hold a higher status such as a Knight or Lord - a type of peasant. Calling the King a Freeman would have been denying that he was King.

[Hairyloon]

Aw. How sweet. Possibly the nicest thing you've ever said to me.

I only hope that the poster company did not give credit before allowing the posters to be put up.

Poster company? You mean a gaggle of Freemen launching a midnight assault on whatever billboards they could hijack to paste up their self made posters.

Somebody pointed me at this website earlier... I think they were serious.
