```Prince Hal, later Henry V, was wounded in the face by an arrow at the Battle of Shrewsbury (1403). The royal physician John Bradmore had such a tool made, which consisted of a pair of smooth tongs. Once carefully inserted into the socket of the arrowhead, the tongs screwed apart till they gripped its walls and allowed the head to be extracted from the wound. Prior to the extraction, the hole made by the arrow shaft had been widened by inserting larger and larger dowels of elder pith wrapped in linen down the entry wound. The dowels were soaked in honey, now known to have antiseptic properties. The wound was then dressed with a poultice of barley and honey mixed in turpentine. After 20 days the wound was free of infection.```
imagine performing this kind of surgery in the 15th century

Imagine not having any infection after 20 days
That's impressive

`During the reign of Henry III the Assize of Arms of 1252 required that all "citizens, burgesses, free tenants, villeins and others from 15 to 60 years of age" should be armed. The poorest of them were expected to have a halberd and a knife, and a bow if they owned land worth more than £2. This made it easier for the King to raise an army, but also meant that the bow was a weapon commonly used by rebels during the Peasants' Revolt. From the time that the yeoman class of England became proficient with the longbow, the nobility in England had to be careful not to push them into open rebellion`
feudal peasants arguably were more free, powerful and scary under a monarchy than modern debt serfs living in so-called democratic liberal states
Yes
Why do you think the Monarchists hang out with the AnCaps? lol
ancaps seem to be willing to hang out with nearly any fringe right adherent

i was reading last night about how the UK suppressed the british union of fascists bc they were becoming too popular, arresting without charge 700 of their top people and eventually banning the party
so much for open marketplace of ideas

so-called liberal democracies actually won't permit you to challenge the status quo too much,
if you risk the existing order's continued existence, you get put down

Well, modern broad heads are a bit nastier
probably only really effective against the unarmoured as well

If you only eat salad and run 5 miles a day, you could drop 40lbs in like 2 weeks
Caloric defiscit or however you spell it
