 Happily start reading article then out of nowhere a needless reference to France! or what would become France(?). Sigh. 

 "in 1393 the authorities in London allowed prostitutes to work only in Cocks Lane,[a] and in 1285 French prostitutes in Montpellier were confined to a single street" 

 I have told folk before to mark my words about Frenchies spiking and gatecrashing English language wikis. Needy dimwits.
