Duhhh! It was his son, King Edward the Elder (not to be confused with King Edward the First)! Also, Edward's sister Aethelflaed, Lady of Mercia, probably did half the work at least. This is the special supplemental episode for everyone who wants to know what a tort is and how we ended up with the civil lawsuit system we have now in America. The inspiration for this supplement is the "prima facie tort" count of comedian Aaron Glaser's lawsuit against comedian Jasmine Pierce. It's an odd duck. Come with me as we sort it out together.   Links: Glaser: https://www.thedailybeast.com/never-another-cosby-how-new-yorks-comedy-scene-is-fighting-back-against-sexual-assault-and-harassment http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/improv-comic-banned-ucb-theatre-rape-allegations-article-1.2755492 https://jezebel.com/a-comedian-called-out-an-alleged-rapist-and-was-sued-fo-1819818078 http://splitsider.com/2018/02/a-comedian-is-suing-ucb-for-reverse-gender-discrimination-after-getting-banned-over-rape-allegations/ https://www.thecut.com/2018/02/comic-sues-ucb-after-being-banned-for-alleged-sexual-assault.html https://jezebel.com/comic-accused-of-rape-sues-ucb-for-reverse-gender-discr-1822732119 https://mic.com/articles/151826/comedian-aaron-glaser-has-been-accused-of-sexual-assault-and-women-are-speaking-out#.bqlYp96f3 https://nypost.com/2018/02/04/comic-sues-upright-citizens-brigade-for-reverse-gender-discrimination/ https://jezebel.com/a-comedian-called-out-an-alleged-rapist-and-was-sued-fo-1819818078 https://scholarship.law.cornell.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?referer=https://www.google.com/&httpsredir;=1&article;=1679&context;=clr http://caselaw.findlaw.com/nm-court-of-appeals/1751483.html https://www.judiciary.gov.uk/about-the-judiciary/history-of-the-judiciary/ https://scholarlycommons.law.hofstra.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1702&context;=hlr https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Form_of_action https://nypost.com/2018/02/04/comic-sues-upright-citizens-brigade-for-reverse-gender-discrimination/ http://www.nydailynews.com/new-york/improv-comic-banned-ucb-theatre-rape-allegations-article-1.2755492 http://splitsider.com/2018/02/a-comedian-is-suing-ucb-for-reverse-gender-discrimination-after-getting-banned-over-rape-allegations/ https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zh8NzZdA9iA Beaudry appeals: http://caselaw.findlaw.com/nm-court-of-appeals/1751483.html http://caselaw.findlaw.com/nj-supreme-court/1456593.html ============================= Subscribe to Habeas Humor on iTunes: https://itun.es/us/sms5hb.c Subscribe on Stitcher: https://www.stitcher.com/podcast/habeas-humor Google Play: https://play.google.com/music/listen?u=0#/ps/Ix4wxwinddfzxkzhlmgxajgkuie Email the show: [email protected] Twitter: @habeashumor Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/habeashumor/ Please note that this podcast is for entertainment only and does not constitute legal advice or form an attorney-client relationship.  All rights reserved
