Site of the free court in Assinghausen (in use from latest 1297 to 1808)

Free courts (vehmic courts) have existed since Germanic times, especially in Westphalia.
The free court always met at a specific location. Under the chairmanship of the free earl, the aldermen administered justice in the presence of all the freemen.
The court dealt with murder, theft, arson, fornication, treason and heresy, among other things.
Originally, only the death penalty was known, which was carried out by the bailiff or the aldermen, but later other punishments were also used.

I'm going to point out something which should be really obvious to everyone yet somehow isn't. The myth where only dolphins like to have sex as they're of a higher order than most animals, other animals who only "procreate".

I think it comes from a Christian viewpoint that Animals are pure and go "It is time to pass on my genes" rather than "I'd really love to fuck that lioness".

Animals do not just think about procreation, it's absurd.

It's like "Babies have no feeling since they can't talk" or that "A clitoris is of no real use."
