Answer

<p> How many wives the barons had</p>

Explain

<p> This question harks back to a key insight of Medieval History, specifically related to feudal Europe. It's asking an odd-one-out-type question related to the specifics of what commissioners in that time period were sent to investigate.<br /><br />From historical context we know, commissioners were sent by the Royals/Kings or other ruling classes to gather information about the subjects' lands, their livestock wealth, and scales of peasant labor aiding their cultivation.<br /><br />Detailed demography including particulars like the marital status of Baron's or feudal lords don't typically fall to their interests. Investigating personal demographics of Lords was unlikely to be directly financially pertinent information to the Royals, as opposed to matters such as land, livestock, and labor contributing directly to economic sustenance.<br /><br />Thus 'How many wives the barons had?' would potentially be celebrated ceremonially or conversationally but isn't quantitatively important productive revenue information to State.</p>
