5. Kissing Was Once Decreed Against The Law
King Henry IV banned kissing in England back in 1439. The decree was made in an attempt to stop the spread of diseases throughout the kingdom. It’s kind of hard to think that kissing was ever illegal anywhere, as we seem to see people kissing everywhere nowadays.
King Henry IV reasoned that by stopping kissing he could cut back on the number of diseases that were plaguing his kingdom at the time. King Henry IV went on to suffer a mental breakdown in 1453, possibly from the lack of affection in his life, and his wife had to take control of the kingdom.
