Title :
Adultery in Early Anglo-Saxon Society: Æthelberht 31 in Comparison with Continental Germanic Law [If a married woman committed adultery in early Germanic society, her husband was entitled to retribution. In Anglo-Saxon society, this retribution took the form of a monetary payment directly proportionate to the offended husband’s class status. Aethelberht of Kent was the first Anglo-Saxon lawmaker to make this distinction. The Church did not have a major effect on pagan laws like this one. Title note supplied by Feminae.].
