re: #451 Pie-onist Overlord

Some time ago I read “The Other Boleyn Girl” and I’m like all WTF at how all these courtiers are literally PIMPING THEIR OWN DAUGHTERS.

I love C. J. Sansome’s Shardlake series, about a lawyer in the Tudor era.

Having influence in court and getting profitable office appointments is how you got ahead in those days. And one way was marrying your daughters into influential families.
