deditio
English
Noun
deditio
- (historical) In medieval Europe, an act of ritualized submission and request for mercy, performed before a monarch or other feudal lord.
- 2002, Sverre Bagge, Kings, Politics, and the Right Order of the World in German Historiography c. 950–1150, p. 164:
- A deditio implied a clear duty for the victorious party to treat his former enemy leniently, and the conditions for surrender were often arranged in advance.
- 2016, Peter H. Wilson, The Holy Roman Empire, Penguin 2017, p. 617:
- The ritual of deditio was ostentatiously emotional, with tears of contrition both signalling submission and calculated to encourage a formal pardon from a king who risked losing face by failing to show clemency.
