Loveday
Loveday is a name, thought to derive from Old English ''Leofdaeg'' or alternatively ''Lief Tag''. ''Leofdaeg'' is composed of the words ''leof'' meaning dear/beloved or precious and ''daeg'' meaning day. ''Lief Tag'' literally translates to Love Day, and is thought to have existed in eastern Britain from around the 7th century. ''Loveday'' was used as a given name during the Middle Ages in England, which has now become confined to Cornwall, where it survives in occasional use by people such as Loveday Jenkin. The name was originally bestowed, either formally or as a nickname, with reference to a Love Day, a day appointed for a meeting between enemies and litigants with a view to an amicable settlement. The name is now only given to girls. Variant spellings include: * Daylof * Dayluue * Leuare * Leudedai * Leue * Leued * Leuedaei * Liuedai * Loue * Louedai * Loueday * Lovdie * Love * Lovedaia * Loveday * Lovedaya * Loveta * Lovota * Lowdy * Lowdie * Luueday * Luuedei * Luveda ...

Loveday (arbitration)
A Loveday (''dies amoris'' (Latin), ''jour d'amour'' (French)) was a day, in Medieval England, assigned to arbitrate between parties and resolve legal differences under arbitration rather than common law. They were held between the thirteenth and seventeenth centuries, by which time they had died out. Origins Marc Bloch pointed out in his '' Feudal England'' that even in a relatively young country such as England, by the year 1000, charters ‘abound’ with not just litigants, but individuals creating their own systems of mediation and arbitration. The earliest known usage of the word 'loveday' is from 1290, although in the early years of its existence it appears to have been less of a legal and more of a religious day, devoted to Christian charity. A hundred years later, Chaucer described it as being symbolised by hand-holding and the renewal of friendship. M.T Clanchy traced the loveday back to a twelfth-century maxim of ‘agreement prevails over law, and love over judgementâ ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
