M \rriage Contract Took A Flock
| It is reported entire flocks of
sheep were slaughtered in Eng
land years ago in order to draw
up a marriage contract. In the
days before paper came into com
man use parchment made from
the skin of sheep was the accept
ed writing material.
It seems however, that our
medieval ancestors were not giv
en to brevity and so it often took
an entire flock of sheep to record
the details of the sale of an acre
of land or a marriage settlemeit.
