BIGAMY,
II Not Polygamy, Once Authorized in
Europe.

Europe.
Among the early TeutOnic tribes, as
among all savage nations, pOlygamy
was openly practiced. According to
Herbert Spencer the Merovingian
princes also had more than one wife.
But SO far as is known no civilized
European government ever authorized
the practice. In the thirty years war
the Diet of Franconia, sitting at Nu-
remberg, passed the following remark
able law, permitting each man to
marry two wives, on account of the
numerical superiority Of the women"
Article 3 of this law ran: ANY man is
allowed to marry two wives, but hus-
bands are advised that If the fate of
two persons is intrusted to them they
must in turn behave with prudence
and discretion, providing for them suf-
ficiently and taking such measures as
may prevent Quarrels." Herbert Spen-
Ger may consider the Diet which could
pass such law civilized. And they
may have been, but to the casual OBJ
server it would seem that they were
also to q certain extent insane.
