Shakespeare's King Lear describes his daughter Goneril as a detested kite, and he wrote \"when the kite builds, look to your lesser linen\" in reference to them stealing washing hung out to dry in the nesting season. In the mid-15th century, King James II of Scotland decreed that they should be \"killed wherever possible\", but they remained protected in England and Wales for the next 100 years as they kept the streets free of carrion and rotting food. Under Tudor \"vermin laws\" many creatures were seen as competitors for the produce of the countryside and bounties were paid by the parish for their carcasses.\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003e\u003cbr data-mce-fragment=\"1\"\u003eBy the 20th century, the breeding population was restricted to a handful of pairs in South Wales, but recently the Welsh population has been supplemented by re-introductions in England and Scotland. In 2004, from 375 occupied territories identified, at least 216 pairs were thought to have hatched eggs and 200 pairs reared at least 286 young.
