Ouch. Penalties seem a bit “out of proportion” here with regard to the genitals.

I kind of like the small fee for stabbing through a man’s genitals, versus that of an eye.

Was going to reply they needed more soprano opera singers but it wasn’t until the early 1600s that opera’s came into popularity.

...”six shillings for stabbing a man through his genitals.“ The fact they felt the need to prescribe a fine for this specific violation tells me it was not an uncommon occurrence.

Sterne also supplied ‘pi**ing’ for mingendo, though that is arguably a somewhat amplified rendering of the Latin.
A clue here for those puzzling over the word "retromingent" that's been making the rounds lately.
To: SunkenCiv
At the time this was transcribed French was the language of the English Royal Court, so it’s interesting they were preserving legal texts written in Old English.

Susie Dent explained retromingent with a reference to, hmm, I think it was rabbits.

There was (and still is) a hunkering down against the brutal Norman usurpation and occupation.
