	Jus Primae Noctis - LoveToKnow 1911
		JUS PRIMAE NOCTIS, or Droit Du Seigneur, a custom alleged to have existed in medieval Europe, giving the overlord a right to the virginity of his vassals' daughters on their weddingnight.
		That some such abuse of power may have been occasionally exercised by brutal nobles in the lawless days of the early middle ages is only too likely, but the jus, it seems, is a myth, invented no earlier than the 16th or 17th century.
		This religious abstention, added to the undoubted fact that the feudal lord extorted fines on the marriages of his vassals and their children, doubtless gave rise to the belief that the jus was once an established custom.

		In fact the ius primae noctis was, in the European late medieval context, a widespread popular belief in an ancient privilege of the lord of a manor to share the bed with his peasants' newlywed brides on their wedding nights.
		In the 16th century, Boece referred to the decree of the Scottish king Evenus III that "the lord of the ground shall have the maidenhead of all virgins dwelling on the same".
		Some scholars have speculated that the jus primae noctis of the Medieval European tradition did exist, and that it might have been similar to defloration rituals in Ancient Mesopotamia or 13th century Tibet (Evans 1979:30).

	The jus primae noctis as a male power display: A review of historic sources with evolutionary interpretation.
		The jus primae noctis was, in the European late medieval context, a widespread popular belief in an ancient privilege of the lord of the manor to share the wedding bed with his peasants' brides.

		Although there is no direct link between jus primae noctis and increased reproductive success, I propose that there was a strong indirect link: by means of this symbolic act the lords tried to maintain their lordship or status and to continue to control the resources which were a prerequisite for their higher reproductive prospects.

	The Straight Dope: Did medieval lords have "right of the first night" with the local brides?
		The right of the first night--also known as jus primae noctis (law of the first night), droit du seigneur (the lord's right), etc.--has been the subject of locker-room humor and a fair amount of scholarly debate for centuries.
		But I'd say most reputable historians today would agree that the jus primae noctis, in Europe anyway, was strictly a male fantasy.
		None of this is to suggest that men in power didn't or don't use their positions to extort sex from women.

		The idea that King Edward encouraged his colonial entrepreneurs with the rewards of jus primae noctis is ludicrous.
		We have no evidence that this custom ever existed in the British Isles at all (and even in continental Europe, where it may have had some meaning, it is believed to have been a form of taxation paid by a peasant groom for his right to enjoy his wife).

		Another drawback of the Feudal System was the doctrine of jus primae noctis; the King having the absolute right to the first day's process time of any new user.
