Interestingly, PR value did exist in the medieval world. King John suffered some serious dissent among his barons for his severity (hostage executions, etc.).
You're right that "be restrained with everybody" is a recent values innovation. There's a more limited version that goes way, way back in history: "be restrained with other elites, especially if they have relatives supplying you soldiers."
I suppose my grammar was rather ambiguous. PR value certainly existed in the medieval world, I meant "that" as in "that particular".
Use ‘that that’.
