Perhaps the time has come to reinstitute an old custom: grant them _prima noctes._ First night, when any common girl inhabiting their lands is married, our nobles shall have sexual rights to her on the night of her wedding. If we can’t get them out, we breed them out.

Whatever history remembers me, if it remembers anything at all, it shall only remember a fraction of the truth. For whatever else I am, a husband, a lawyer… a president… I shall always think of myself first and foremost… as a hunter.
