What is the oddest gift you have been given?
Six hundred years ago it was customary to give tribute in order to bribe a neighboring king not to invade your country, rape your women, and burn down your crops and houses. This generally did not work, but that's humanity for you.
A subject king once gave me four identical quadruplets, all with scarlet hair, all hermaphrodites. They made an excellent meal and, when they rose, I gave them permission to hunt down those they would.
In thanks, they presented me with the head of the one who sold them to the king and, later, the king himself.
Fine children. Last I checked in on them, they were sharing a country house in the outskirts of Milan.
