朱迪本内特这话还真太绝对了
法兰西等典型中世纪欧洲确实没有初夜权,但加泰罗尼亚、巴尔干山地在中世纪的确存在过领主的初夜权,加泰罗尼亚直到15世纪才废除(西南欧和东南欧可能与外来入侵者有关)爱尔兰、苏格兰关于这方面传说很多,倒不见得是封建主特权,凯尔特氏族遗风或许更重
In the old Irish manuscript ' The Book of Leinster,' which was compiled in part about the middle of the twelfth century, it is said that great honour was bestowed on Conchobar, King of Ulster, who haved at the time when Christ was born ; for every man who had a marriageable daughter let her sleep the first night with him. In another manuscript, ' Leabhar na h-Uidhri,' which contains a collec- tion of pieces in the Irish language compiled about a.d. 1100, it is likewise stated that the same king deflowered all the virgins of Ulster ; and it is indicated that the deflora- tion of maidens even was a duty incumbent upon him.
当然苏格兰是造谣重地……从十六十七世纪开始无数苏格兰内外史学家处心积虑证明神话中的苏格兰国王有初夜权………………
PS:顺手翻了下The history of human marriage第一册,发现第五章就在说这事情,差不多理清楚头绪,一来是上古传说,二来是十六世纪见了世面看到现存的初夜权于是套到先人头上去
