BOOK



This study of illicit sexuality in medieval England explores

links between marriage and sex, law and disorder, and property

and power. Some medieval Englishwomen endured rape or were

kidnapped for forced marriages, yet most ravished women were

married and many 'wife-thefts' were not forced kidnappings but

cases of adultery fictitiously framed as abduction by abandoned

husbands. In pursuing the themes of illicit sexuality and

non-normative marital practices, this work analyses the nuances

of the key Latin term raptus and the three overlapping offences

that it could denote: rape, abduction and adultery. This

investigation broadens our understanding of the role of women in

the legal system; provides a means for analysing male control

over female bodies, sexuality and access to the courts; and

reveals ways in which female agency could, on occasion, manoeuvre

around such controls
