Wergild, Compensation and Penance: The Monetary Logic of Early Medieval Conflict Resolution de Lukas Bothe

Wergild, Compensation and Penance: The Monetary Logic of Early Medieval Conflict Resolution: Medieval Law and Its Practice, cartea 31

Lukas Bothe, Stefan Esders, Han Nijdam
en Limba Engleză Hardback – 15 iul 2021
This volume offers the first comprehensive account of the monetary logic that guided the payment of wergild and blood money in early medieval conflict resolution. In the early middle ages, wergild played multiple roles: it was used to measure a person’s status, to prevent and end conflicts, and to negotiate between an individual and the agents of statehood. This collection of interlocking essays by historians, philologists and jurists represents a major contribution to the study of law and society in Western Europe during the early Middle Ages.

Contributors are Lukas Bothe, Warren Brown, Stefan Esders, Wolfgang Haubrichs, Paul Hyams, Tom Lambert, Ralph W. Mathisen, Rob Meens, Han Nijdam, Lisi Oliver, Harald Siems, Karl Ubl, and Helle Vogt.

Recenzii

'My dominant response to this collection was pleasure and gratitude: pleasure because the articles are without exception wonderful; gratitude because it is about time someone published a collection like this. For our understanding of medieval law has changed dramatically in the last two generations, yet when it comes to wergild, most of us still operate with assumptions that go back to the nineteenth century.' Geoffrey Koziol in The Medieval Review, 22.03.16. See the full reviewhere.
