From a Class on Cultural History: During the Crusades, it was not only common for knights to put chastity belts on their women when they went, but to leave weird will-like documents behind entrusting the key to the belts to a friend with the proviso that, if worse came to worse, after a certain number of years, the belt should be unlocked....
In a bunch of different medaeval records, a standard joke is where the knight sets off for the Holy Land and Destiny, then, 10 miles down the road, the friend catches up on a lathered horse and gasps, "Damn, dude, you gave me the wrong key."
