<p><b>New page</b></p><div>'''Weregild''', literally meaning "man-[[gold]]", was [[money]] paid as a penalty for killing a man among the [[Norse]], [[Anglo-Saxon]]s and others. Literally, it was [[blood]]-money paid to the kin of the dead man to compensate them for the loss of a loved one. <br />
<br />
Weregild often provided an [[honor]]able excuse to lay down any [[feud]] resulting from a killing (either accidental or deliberate); without weregild, the kin of a dead [[Norse]]man were required by honor and custom to take revenge against his slayer if at all possible.<br />
<br />
Weregild was not necessary in an open, "legal" killing, such as on the [[battlefield]] or in a [[duel]]. <br />
<br />
In Anglo-Saxon [[England]], there was an elaborate hierarchy of weregild payments, dependent on the victim's social standing, ranging from 1500 [[shilling]]s for a [[prince]] to far compensation to a [[thrall]]'s owner (as his property had been destroyed).<br />
<br />
Similar to weregild was [[Celt]]ic practice of who called it ''ericfine'' or''galanas''.</div>Paul Matisz
