Bad, bad law of ***** era.

Like in the times of the Crusaders...or shown in cool movie 'Braveheart'.



From - http://uk.answers.yahoo.com

Was 'prima nocta' ever a real law?
In braveheart it was a law decreeing that any english lord may sleep with any common girl, in order to breed out the scots. In a time of war, torture & cruelty, it doesn't seem to be far fetched!

Yes it existed. And unlike what was shown in Braveheart, where it was actually used was the local priest. The local priest, who provided the marriage vows, would claim "prima nocta" to bless the wedding and "deflower" the ****** so the poor husband would not get blood on himself. It would usually happen the night before the wedding!


Yes, even hundreds of years ago priests were using their influence for their own ****** satisfaction and to control the people of his flock.

If true....****** twits!
