Did you know... One punishment for an adulterous wife, in medieval France, was to make her chase a chicken through town naked?

I think I'd rather be faithful... But I'd rather chase the chicken than be stoned to death or beheaded.

If this is what they do in France,,,,, then what is it that has happened in Spain when they turn the bulls loose running in the streets? Those Spanish men must have been to France earlier.
