Anyone know what this one means??
* On a five bar gate, stag hunters: 4

THIS one I get, and I think it's a hoot!
* Broke a vein in bawling for a knight of ye shire: 1

My sense is that they hanged four men on a fence for poaching stags.

Alternatively, they all crashed and died in a hunting accident. Or maybe four separate accidents jumping over something.
Or maybe one guy died four times and became a will o' the wisp.

I'm pretty sure that refers to people hunting stag on horseback who failed to make that jump. A five-bar gate would be pretty high.

"THIS one I get, and I think it's a hoot!"

That one I don't get.

Sounds like an apoplexy during a fit of pique. LOL!
