Liutprand Leges Anni XIX (731 - 731) Liutprand |
| Quotation |
Si quis Romanus homo mulierem Langobardam tolerit et mundium ex ea fecerit et post eius decessum ad alium ambolaverit maritum sine voluntatem heredum prioris mariti faida et anagrip non requiriatur quia posteus Romanum maritum se copolavit et ipse ex ea mundio fecit Romana effecta est et filii qui de eo matrimonio nascuntur secundum legem patris Romani fiunt et legem patris vivunt ideo faida et anagrip nenime conponere devit qui eam postea tolit sicut nec de alia Romana. |
| Translation |
If a Roman man marries a Lombard woman and acquires her mundium, and if after his death the widow marries another man without the consent of the heirs of her first husband, feud and the penalty for illegal intercourse shall not be required; for after she married a Roman man and he acquired her mundium, she became a Roman and the children born of such a marriage shall be Roman and shall live according to the law of their Roman father. Therefore the man who marries her after the death of her first husband ought not to pay composition for illegal intercourse just as he would not pay it for another Roman woman.

| Summary |
Liutprand, No. 127 establishes the situation when a Lombard woman, becomes a Roman through marriage, and then after the death of her husband remarries. The law makes clear that after having married a Roman she herself became a Roman, and that the compositon due for anagrip, that is illegal intercourse, does not apply and legal restitution does not need to be sought through the faida [feud]. |
