#useful stuff#wergild rings#it's fascinating to me that the whole family of the killer has to pay up#provides familial pressure to Not Kill People!#maybe helps a little with rich people having a license to kill?#but also! if someone doesn't pay up - the payee has the right to basically get a restraining order against them#AND ALSO if someone tries to kill you but it doesn't take - like if you're hanged but you survive - then you're legally a corpse#and everyone has to pay accordingly#I can't WAIT to read the rest of this (even if it means 175 pages before I get back to wergilds)#ah the autism feeling of 'I'm going to read a reference book cover to cover'#women do not exist under the law#Gragas
