Iโ€™m not laughing. This was survival. I took a beautiful class in cultural anthropology. It was enlightening. Many cultures embrace the overflow. Itโ€™s documented. They take care of their own. Ethnology. Itโ€™s documented.

The King, perhaps, embraced a quasi benevolent view of responsibility for his populous. He gave those women shelter? It doesnโ€™t say he made babies.

Does it say that?

Listen to what was said - there were no mother-in-laws in what was essentially 700 political transactions...

Haha! Thatโ€™s an ominous thought. However, they offloaded their girl children to a King. Bent knees, baby. The kids got fed.
