contract of kinship OR contract of affiliation OR contract of brotherhood Explanation: In mediaeval France, affrairement (or affrèrement - literally, 'becoming a brother') was the act of incorporating a person into the family 'as if' he/she was a blood-relation, and that person acquired the corresponding legal rights (inheritance, etc.). As far as I know there was no formal equivalent (hence there is no corresponding term) in mediaeval England. |
