There are solid grounds for believing that the first Christian believers practised a form of communism and usufruct. The account in Acts is explicit: ‘And all that believed were together, and had all things common; And sold their possession and goods, and parted them to all men , as every man had need.’(Acts 2: 44–5) Again Acts records: ‘And the multitude of them that believed were of one heart and of one soul: neither said any of them that ought of the things which he possessed was his own; but they had all things common.’(Acts 4: 32)
...zum erstenmal an diesem Morgen fühlte er ein körperliches Wohlbehagen; die Beinchen hatten festen Boden unter sich; sie gehorchten, wie er mit Freuden merkte, vollkommen; sie strebten sogar, ihn dorthin zu tragen, wohin er wollte; und schon glaubte er, die endgültige Besserung alles Leidens stehe unmittelbar bevor.

Historically, lard, butter, suet, and tallow had been widely used in domestic kitchens for cooking and baking. And these were what large food manufacturers had originally used, too, plus some palm and coconut oil. But then the industry switched over almost entirely to partially hydrogenated oils.

The English, though tired, hungry, and dispirited by their numerical inferiority, had two advantages: a King in personal command and a disproportion of about 1,000 knights and squires to 6,000 archers and a few thousand other foot. Their archers were deployed in solid wedges between the men-at-arms and in blocks on the wings. Wearing no armor, they were fully mobile, and in addition to their bows, they carried a variety of axes, hatchets, hammers, and, in some cases, large swords hanging from their belts.
