Henry the 8th and his 'catch all' Laws

 As King Henry was on his slow descent into madness and tyranny he liked to keep making Laws that kept his subjects in place. Some of those Laws seem a bit Ad Hoc but i suppose when your the King it doesn't matter so much.


'An Act for the continuance of the statutes for Beggars and Vagabonds; and against the conveyance of Horses and Mares out of this Realm; against Welshmen making affrays in the counties of Hereford, Gloucester and Salop; and against the vice of buggery'
