Of course they didn't. We have historical records of them going back millennia.

I'm assuming you are insulting the country we both (apparently) live in and think we should ignore the existance of The Buggery Act of 1533 for some reason. It was not repealed until 1861 and do you really think my point about Tristan is invalid? The man is hateful, extremely hateful. Don't you think if he knew about Bartholomew, which he implied he did, he would turn him over to the government (unless he was blackmailing him, I guess, because that would be in character, too), a government that is about 50 years away, which in general mindset is a long time, from repealing that law. That means the repeal was made by the children, maybe even grandchildren of the "current" lawmakers and their contemporaries and there tends to be a lot of differnce of mindset from generation to generation? Granted I don't know what kind of evidence was required to convict someone on that charge, but considering the careless disregard for who might be around that Bartholomew showed, I can't see it being hard to get evidence. Maybe the fact that Bartholomew was nobility would stay Tristan's hand or make the law think twice about taking the case, but that law did exist and people did get killed under it (yes, men only as far as I know, since it wasn't even remotely about women).
