We begin a twisted tale of witchcraft, poison, and legal arguing over magically cursed genitals in the court of King James I. Sir Thomas Overbury tried his best to climb to a coveted position at court, but he made a lot of enemies along the way.
Content note: I'm going to throw an explicit label on this one just in case because it involves a discussion of a legal case revolving around the mechanics of impotence.
