The balladeers also do their fair share of "twisting reality" and hiding/ignoring important information Steve.

In the song about LL there is scant mention of his alleged misconduct with young girls. There is absolutely no evidence to support the allegations leveled against him over the mythical "Droit du seigneur" also known as jus primae noctis. There is no evidence of the right being exercised in medieval Europe, overall, medieval jus primae noctis can be considered a historical fiction fabricated after that era.
