Talk:droit de seigneur

RFV discussion: February 2021–February 2022
The usual term in French is. Not sure this is attested in the relevant sense. PUC – 17:07, 9 February 2021 (UTC)
 * Inasmuch as the term exists or existed in French, it is/was droit du seigneur. --Lambiam 00:09, 11 February 2021 (UTC)


 * Indeed. Droit de cuissage is attested, though possibly only as a 19-th century invention about "the mores of the middle ages". I wouldn't bet my life that droit du seigneur doesn't exist, but so far I've met it only in English novels, not in French. It could be Anglo-Norman or even imaginary Anglo-Norman. Droit de seigneur strikes me (a native French speaker) as incorrect syntax. — Tonymec (talk) 23:51, 14 April 2021 (UTC)
