in which the Treason Act of 1351 defined the offense of treason thus: "A man doth compass or imagine the death of our lord the King, or of our Lady his Queen, or of their eldest child and heir." In other words, just thinking about the king's death was considered to be treason. The ultimate act of lèse-majesté! I might be in trouble.
