Blanning claims that the illegitimacy rate on the Continent and in England range from 1-4%. That's insane! I still haven't finished his explanation but the options for keeping it that low seem to be: birth control, social mores, the Church, infant mortality, pregnancy death. A combination of all of the above is my guess. With two and four being my favorites.
