Amongst the Anglo-Saxons, by the laws of King Athelstan, according to Blackstone, a fine, denominated " Weregild" was paid for homicide, and this fine varied according to the rank of the person slain, from a king to a peasant. The weregild fo...r killing a " Ceorl," that is a churl or peasant, was 266 Thrysmas ; and even the killing of a King, according to Blackstone, might be compounded for by a fine of thirty thousand Thrysmas ; each " thrysma" being equal to about a shilling of our money : the weregild for killing a subject was paid to the relatives of the person slain, but that for the death of a king was payable — one half to the public, and the other to the royal family.
