Unsubstantiated theory to debunked 'right'
I propose the deletion of the current last line, linking the theory that merchet with the supposed "right" of the lord to spend the first night with the new bride. The "droit" has been debunked by Alain Boureau in The Lord's First Night: The Myth of the Droit de Cuissage (University of Chicago Press: 1998).DeAragon 19:54, 8 November 2015 (UTC)  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Dearagon (talk • contribs)
