King Edward "Long Shanks" was a ruthless leader. It is disputed whether lords in medieval times would actually employ Prima Nocta in their lands because of the animosity it would create among the commoners.

Theoretically, nobles would be entitled to have sexual rights to any common girl on the night of her wedding. Notice how Long Shanks looks at the French Princess as he ponders the decree, as if he would like to consummate the marriage between his son and the Princess.
