A random thought that came to me as I was looking up the right of first night, where local lords supposedly could claim a woman first on her wedding night. I was wondering, is there anything really to stop a feudal lord from just having his way with the wives of his subjects? Not just on her wedding night, but whenever he felt? Was there any real tangible repercussions for it or no?
While waiting for a response, here is a really good answer to this question by u/idjet
