OP Dear jmh: Over sixty years ago, I read "1066 and All That", about King John allegedly dying
of "a surfeit of peaches". I have since read expert medical opinion that he died of coronary
heart disease. I suspect same was true of Henry I, I suspect. Indigestion just does not kill.
Wofahulicodoc, where are you when we need you?
Incidentally, I wonder how lampreys were caught, since they cannot take a baited hook.
I dissected on in Comparative Anatomy, and still remember how ugly it was. I wonder if fishing
nets were sufficiently fine meshed in those days to catch lampreys along with other fish.
