A quick definition of legruita:

LEGRUITA: A fine that was paid to the lord of the manor for committing adultery or fornication. The lord had the privilege of receiving this fine, especially if the person involved was a female villein. It was also known as lairesite, lecherwite, legerwite, leirwita, leyerwite, legenita, or legruita.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Legruita is another term for lairwite, which was a fine paid to the lord of the manor for adultery or fornication. It was especially used for the lord's privilege of receiving a fine for fornication with the lord's female villeins.

Example: In medieval times, if a man had sexual relations with a female villein who belonged to the lord of the manor, he would have to pay a legruita or lairwite as a fine to the lord.

This example illustrates how legruita was a form of punishment for sexual misconduct and how it was used to maintain the lord's authority over his female villeins.

It is shitty that was a pattern of behavior but I am glad someone is finally standing up for themselves. Like I can be a pretty rigid butthole guy when it comes to getting stuff but a complete lack of empathy or situational awareness shown by the school and their staff is mind blowing. When I was talking about it in the office they all thought I was lying cause it sounds so crazy.

Idk if any of you watch UFC but one time interim heavyweight champ Tom Aspinall won a fight and said on the mic afterwards “if you feel scared to do something, that’s a pretty good sign you should just go fucking do it” and I believe that applies very much to people wondering if they should R&R. Sure you can but why not just see what happens now?
