Droit du seigneur

Yeah, exactly.

It's like, Prima Nocte, you know? Do you wanna sleep with the bride here before I do? You're welcome to.

[laughs]

You've earned it.

...technically, you see, the, the, the-

Droit du seigneur.

[laughs]

Well, wh-wh-while it is-- it's conventional, of course, to have a celebrant, what is actually needed is, is nothing other than the couple themselves.

That is horrifying.

It's essentially the droit de seigneur, the right of the lord, using the legal framework to commit institutionalized assault.

Exactly.

The justice system itself was the predator.

And I looked up when this was made, and this was in 1998, which is right after Braveheart came out.

And Braveheart is when anybody heard about Prima Nocte the first time, which is the noble first night, which is where any – Peasant girl getting married, the local noble has the right to go and sleep with her on the first night of her marriage before her husband.

So that's the first time anybody had heard of this, and so they put it into this movie, I'll guarantee you, because it's like the same

time.

I don't know about Rahr.

Now, I know Prima Nocta, isn't that where everyone takes the married lady back or you get the first right to sleep with whoever got married? There's something like that.

There's a lot of Krampus-y things, but I did not know about Rock Knot, which I guess...

My understanding is they're saying it was the longest... night of the year.

We're going to reenact him getting drawn and quartered.

We're going to reenact all of the Prima Noctis stuff.

I just I really feel like if you want to if you want to drive it home, you got it.

You got to look into the eyes of the beast.

Okay.

Prima nocta? Yeah.

But, like, I have no pictures of that.

Every time I go to Scang Face, I come back, and I'm like, I only took six pictures.
