名詞
murdrum (uncountable)
- (UK, historical) A secret killing, distinguished from simple homicide in that the victim and the killer are unknown.
- 1873, Luke Owen Pike, A History of Crime in England:
- Death by misadventure or starvation might be a 'murdrum' if there was no presentment of Englishry.
- 1895, William Joseph Whittaker, The Publications of the Selden Society - Volume 7, page 35:
- If the person slain be unknown, then in such case it belongs to the coroners to enter a murdrum on their rolls, according to the statute of King Knut, made on setting out for Denmark, who, for the preservation of his Danes whom he left in England, ordained that whenever an unknown man was slain all the hundred should be in the mercy of the king under a judgment of murdrum. Four things relieve from the judgment of murdrum: the first if the felon be known or the person killed; for if the felon be known then he can be attainted for the felony. The second, if the felon be taken or has fled to a church. The third, if the killing were not felonious but by misadventure. The fourth, where a man is felo de se. Since of a man who is known no murdrum can be committed, it is the duty of the coroner in these felonies to inquire into the lineage of such persons who are killed, so that one may know from their kinsmen whether they were of English birth.
- 1897, The Wiltshire Archaeological and Natural History Magazine:
- 1918, G.G. Coulton, Social Life in Britain, page 26:
- Wherefore, in these days, almost every secret manslaughter is punished as murdrum, except those of whom (as I have said) it is certain that they are of servile condition.
- (UK, historical) A fine imposed by the Crown on a manor or district in which such a secret killing had been committed.
- 1910, John Franklin Jameson, Henry Eldridge Bourne, & Robert Livingston Schuyler, The American Historical Review, page 39:
- In the case of the murdrum, to which chapter IX. relates, it is customary to consider that because this fine was originally intended to hold communities responsible for order within their boundaries, therefore its enforcement harmed the feudal lords only in so far as it lessened the paying power of their tenants.
- 2006, Susan Stewart, The 1263 Surrey Eyre, page lxxii:
- By the thirteenth century the collection of murdrum was primarily for the benefit of the Exchequer and significantly added to the burden of the eyre on the localities.
