A quick definition of vadiatio:

Term: Vadiatio

Definition: Vadiatio is a Latin term used in history to describe a type of wager. It was often used in legal battles, where two parties would make a bet on the outcome of a trial. There were two types of vadiatio: vadiatio duelli, which meant a wager of battle, and vadiatio legis, which meant a wager of law. Vadiatio duelli was a trial by combat, where the two parties would fight to determine the winner. Vadiatio legis was a wager of law, where the two parties would make a bet on the outcome of a legal case.

A more thorough explanation:

Definition: Vadiatio is a Latin term used in law to refer to a wager or bet. It was commonly used in the past to describe two specific types of bets:

  1. Vadiatio duelli: A wager of battle, also known as trial by combat. This was a medieval practice where two parties would fight each other to settle a dispute.
  2. Vadiatio legis: A wager of law, where a person would swear an oath to prove their innocence or guilt in a legal matter.

For example, in the Middle Ages, if two knights had a disagreement over land ownership, they might settle the matter through vadiatio duelli, by fighting each other with swords. Similarly, in vadiatio legis, a person might swear an oath to prove their innocence in a criminal trial.

These examples illustrate how vadiatio was used in the past to settle disputes through physical or verbal means, rather than relying on evidence or legal arguments.
