Interesting Fact - Statues

If a statue of a person on a horse shows the horse with both front legs in the air, the person died in battle; if the horse has one front leg in the air, the person died as a result of wounds received in battle; if the horse has all 4 legs on the ground, the person died of natural causes.

(These rules aren't always followed - they only really apply to traditional statues in Europe.)
