[QUOTE="Agemegos, post: 1569337, member: 18377"] My lord, I am happy to report that men are wiser than you dare to hope. Such crimes and worse are more common than we can understand without horror. And yet to our great good fortune bailliffs and justices across the land, and other servants of the law in other lands stay their hands in respect of Justice. In my father's time in England it would have been up to the victim's family to avenge a crime such as this. And as a malefactor's family are the last to believe evil of their kinsman, the result all too often would have been a feud. But since the reign of the previous King William the people of England have learned that justice for such crimes is available in the courts of the King's justices, and these proceed with such conspicuous impartiality and are so scrupulous to consider the defence of the accused, and that the punishments for crimes are both just and adequate. And so we no longer seek private vengeance if we believe that our cause is just. The country is much more peaceful and orderly now, and even the chroniclers in their monasteries comment that the crime of rape in particular is much less rampant than it was aforetimes. It is perhaps because of this that the English [i]fyrd[/i] has been much more faithful to two successive kings than the Norman barons have been to either. The due and public process of the courts, and the peace and order that it brings to all, are a precious jewel, a golden thread that I pray will never be broken in my land. [/QUOTE]
