Description

Explore the complex monetary systems of the early Middle Ages with Wergild, Compensation and Penance. This scholarly work by Brill provides the first comprehensive account of the logic behind blood money payments. It examines how wergild functioned as a central mechanism for conflict resolution and how these financial settlements shaped legal societies during this period. Written by experts Lukas Bothe and Stefan Esders, this volume is part of the Medieval Law and Its Practice series (Volume 31). The research looks closely at the Lex Ribuaria and the practical application of monetary fines in early medieval legislation. This book is an essential resource for historians, legal scholars, and students interested in the development of law and the social impact of compensation systems in late antique and early medieval history.
