Origin of 'F.U.C.K'

In olden England people couldn't have sex, unless under the consent of the King. When someone wanted to make a baby they would have to ask the kings permission. When granted the permission they would be given a plaque to hang on their front door while sexually active. This plaque read, "Fornication Under Consent of the King" originating the much loved swear word of today - FUCK.

So when people didn't have this permission, does this mean they weren't "FUCKING" because their was no "Fornication Under Consent of the King"?

Well, its nice to know the royals started this off.
