ReplyDeleteHow can a woman commit buggery?
Any non-vaginal sexual intercourse, or vaginal intercourse with an animal, constitutes buggery under the statute passed by Parliament during Henry VIII's reign. I would be curious to know if there is a connection to Anne Boleyn and the tricks that she used to "bewitch" him.
