ver Explanation: An example of composition is wergild [Old Eng.,=man’s price], the payment made by a murderer to the family of a murdered person. Wergild was often paid to the king for loss of a subject and to the lord of the manor for the loss of a vassal as well as to the family of the deceased. espero que te sirva -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 6 mins (2003-12-08 08:28:17 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- composition, in ancient and medieval law, a sum of money paid by a guilty party as satisfaction to the family of the person who was injured or killed. Failure to make the payment might justify retaliation in kind against the offender or his family. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 10 mins (2003-12-08 08:32:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- yo lo dejaría como: wergild (indemnización). |
