Any #histodons interested in #Weregild or #BloodMoney ? I was reading about Anglo-Saxon kings #earls named #æthelings on Wikipedia and came across this accounting:

“According to a document which probably dates from the 10th century, the weregild of an ætheling was fixed at 15,000 thrymsas, or 11,250 shillings, which was equal to that of an archbishop and one-half of that of a king”
