A History of Marriage - Part 2

-
Image
It's been 4 months since my A History of Marriage - Part 1 , but I've finally gotten around to the second part.  In Part 1, I discussed marriage traditions of pagan/superstitious origin, and the origin and history of marriage licences.  In Part 2, I'm looking at marriage age, cousin marriage, and avunculate marriage (marriage of a man to his niece, or a woman to her nephew). MARRIAGE AGE (Note: the following is intended purely as a neutral history lesson - I'm not endorsing or condemning anything.) Today, we become adults at 18, and for many that is (or should be) the minimum marriage age.  Has that always been the case? In ancient times, minimum marriage/adult age (if there was one) varied.  Among the Israelites/Jews, it was generally considered to be around 13, although even that wasn't standard - as evidenced by the following Biblical passages: In the seventeenth year of Pekah the son of Remaliah, Ahaz the son of Jotham, king of Judah, began to reign. ...

The Werewolves of Ireland

Ah, werewolves.  Popular trope in horror movies and novels.  Usually portrayed as a human who transforms into a humanoid wolf (or as a human-wolf hybrid).  Sometimes the condition (known as lycanthropy) is genetic and hereditary, sometimes it’s the result of a werewolf bite, sometimes the result of a curse.  It’s often (but not necessarily) related to the full moon.   https://youtu.be/TKIbuXsN2F4   https://youtu.be/myjd4uoq6dY https://youtu.be/kzZcDHHNINk However, these nightmarish beasts are not limited to the world of fiction; they are a legendary creature, seen and encountered by many people up until the present day. What are they?  Some are Nephilim – the hybrid products of fallen angels mixing with humans and animals (and possibly humans with animals) in centuries and millennia past.  Others are demonically possessed humans, at least some of which got into “the dark arts”, to borrow Harry Potter ‘s term for ...

Was Edward IV Illegitimate? (And Why It Doesn't Matter)

  King Edward IV, whom Tony Robinson believes was illegitimate You may or may not have seen Tony Robinson’s 2004 documentary Britain’s Real Monarch , in which he proposes that King Edward IV of England (1442-1483), who reigned from 1461 until 1470, and again from 1471 until his death, was illegitimate, therefore had no claim to the throne, and that all subsequent monarchs – as his descendants (including Queen Elizabeth II) – have no legitimate claim to the throne either. He proposes that Edward’s younger brother George Plantagenet, 1st Duke of Clarence (1449-1478) – whom Edward executed – was the legitimate heir to the throne, and that therefore George’s senior legitimate descendant (by male-preference primogeniture) Michael Abney-Hastings, 14th Earl of Loudoun (1942-2012), a British peer living in Australia, was the then-rightful King of England (which by extension means that since his death, his Australian son Simon Abney-Hastings, 15th Earl of Loudoun (b. 197...
