Drawing from a wide variety of legal and literary sources, this book develops a nuanced perspective of the acceptability of marital violence at a time when social expectations of gender and marriage were in transition. As such, Butler?s work contributes to current debates concerning the role of the jury, levels of violence in late medieval England, the power relationship within marriage, and the position of women in medieval society. 410 0$aLater medieval Europe ;$vv. 2. 606 $aFamily violence$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWife abuse$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aWomen$xViolence against$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 606 $aFamilies$zEngland$xHistory$yTo 1500 615 0$aFamily violence$xHistory 615 0$aWife abuse$xHistory 615 0$aWomen$xViolence against$xHistory 615 0$aFamilies$xHistory 676 $a362.82/92094209024 700 $aButler$b Sara M$g(Sara Margaret)$0976971 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910782344503321 996 $aThe language of abuse$93680117 997 $aUNINA
