Did this weigh against the <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/DivineRightOfKings" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>DivineRightOfKings</span></a>. </p><p>And you get one guess on whose shrine the pilgrims in <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/Chaucer" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Chaucer</span></a>'s <a href="https://mastodon.social/tags/CanterburyTales" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>CanterburyTales</span></a> (1400) are headed to.<br>Currently considering how better to read/listen to those tales.
