Abstract

In the fourteenth-century manorial courts at Wakefield (West Yorkshire) reports of husbands beating their wives were extremely rare. This article examines the case of Thomas and Alice Dey and, based on the contemporary representation of domestic anger in moral and expositive treatises, speculates that the community's motives for reporting Thomas for drawing Alice’s blood had little or nothing to do with protecting her but was a form of communal vendetta.
