The population disparities resulting from the 30 years war were quickly resolved through the importation of men from elsewhere in Europe. It literally changed the German genotype. Redheads became common for one thing.

Supposedly the Catholic church authorized polygamy as part of the solution to the social welfare disaster and you could have up to 15 wives if you could pay for them.

OK, I thought I had seen every major calumny possible against the Church. Again, I was wrong.

Hey muawiyah - any chance you have ANY serious research to back up your claim?

Interesting. Where do you think the redheads came from?

Also interesting. My wife would no doubt disapprove. Do you have evidence of this that I could present to her?
