So? It doesn't mean there aren't any. I mean, write that story in a muggle world, set in a muggle boarding school and with the muggle government. In the government there are no lords - also there are none in the MOM. Presumably Sir Nicholas was knighted by King Ethelred or whoever was king at the time in England when he was alive (sorry I can't remember) for doing something muggleishy worthy, then they guessed he was a 'witch' (was witch-burning aorund then? I thought it was Christian-burning) and cut his head off? Or is this out of date thinking about it?
Surely beheading people didn't start this early on? Hanging was popular I suppose but as far as I know if the Saxons wanted you dead the would ... wait hang on, sorry about that.
You could be: stoned, beheaded, hung, burnt, drowned or have your neck broken for being any of the following: a traitor, an outlaw, a witch, a wizard or a theif.
So if Nick was one of these and a Knight? So he did something good and then some magic, or what? Please can someone enlighten me on the answer.
