How would an agricultural village's land be held in Roman times - in common to the village, divvied up villagers, by a single landowner? And, when new land was cleared for agriculture, was it likely already owned or did it have to be distributed?

One of the crimes the Roman governor of Sicily, Gaius Verres, was accused of, was killing a Greek resident of Sicily who refused to bring his daughter out during a feast. Was he hiding his daughter from the governor or were 'free' Greek women not even allowed to be looked upon by men?

The Seljuk Sultans never personally campaigned against the Crusaders and left it to the emirs of Mosul to campaign against them - why? Did Jersusalem not matter to the Seljuks ideologically/religiously?

In George RR Martin's books set in Westeros, "songs" seem to be the primary vehicle of recounting history for the illiterate. Given that Westeros is meant to resemble the High Middle Ages in France and England, were histories transmitted by song in that time and in those places?

What was the role and position of the French Left during the decolonization period? France fought harder to maintain its colonies than other European empires but at the same time my impression is that its Left was more numerous and stronger than e.g. the UK or the Netherlands.

Ivan the Terrible once resigned as Tsar for a year and put a Genghisid, Simeon Bekbulatovich, on the Russia throne during the period. Does this imply that Muscovy/Russia at the time didn't have a as negative impression of Mongol rule/the "Tatar yoke" as it would in later centuries?

Bowing died out in the West, but stage actors still bow after a performance. Whence comes this? Is this a revived custom or is it a relic?
