Perverted general...?

[Quickening]

I had one great general in rtw, who was afraid of his mother... That made for a few interesting speeches.

Of course, after fighting him, his enemies were also afraid of the woman that gave birth to such a conqueror.

I hear that in later life he owned a tavern where an unmoving figure could frequently be seen sitting at the window...

As a historical accuracy, at the time there wouldn't have been anyone who considered this a perversion. A common theme of medieval warfare was 'the battle's not over until you've rolled in the sweat of the enemy's women', and the post battle rape and plunder was a substantial part of the 'payment' soldiers were promised when they marched off to war...in many cases that was all they got for their efforts. This general might have been considered 'greedy', but not perverted.

By medieval standards, I suspect the "perversion" was his request that the lass be bathed first....
