Abstract

The procedure of redeeming a crime (compositio) or plata capului/“blood money” (paying the price of the victim) was a practice in the Moldavian Middle Ages and the premodern period, and was commonplace also in the wider space of medieval central and eastern Europe. This practice had implications in the structure of property as well because, in the absence of the money needed to pay the two obligations, most defendants guaranteed with their estates in exchange for the sums required or gave them for sale to people with financial power, who purchased them.
