They are largely English and French.
1. England, 15th c
2. and 3. England 13th-14th c
4. England (Peterborough?), Early 13th century
5. England, c 1185
6. late 13th, French
7. England (Salisbury?), c 1230-1240
8. France, c. 1450
The mandrake is North England or North France, c.1190-1200
And perhaps we are talking about a cone of volume ;) Some people, I guess translated Pliny the Elder's description in Natural History differently. I can find references to acres and "furlongs" (which is indeed distance)
Show me a reference that doesn't show furlongs as a measure of portions of an acre. They usually say 3 furlongs by 2 furlongs. That's area. 3 furlongs is distance.
What if they just stabbed normal bulls and in their last moments of dying they (explosively) emptied their colon? (Which apparently happens from time to time when you die/get killed)
Cause almost all of those drawings picture them being stabbed.
