Thanks @alanstewart50.bsky.social for his paper this evening on “The Maxims” of Francis Bacon. As Bacon’s editor, Alan’s survey of the manuscript and printed versions of this work, and the potential dedications to monarchs, made for a fascinating discussion.

A really good question... I'm sure someone out there will know if so - I haven't seen any reports of ursine activity at the Inns either!
