Sexualität vor Gericht
Deviante geschlechtliche Praktiken und deren Verfolgung vom 14. bis zum 19. Jahrhundert
The study examines typical patterns and individual strategies of urban courts in Hungary in the second half of the 16th century when dealing with sex crimes. Secular authorities took over control of sexual behaviour and marital problems, previously exercised to a large extent by the church. The councillors had a relatively wide scope of measures and punishments that they could choose from and decided according to the individual circumstances of each case. Most cases involved fornication and adultery; other sex crimes appeared in court more rarely.
Keywords: 16th century – Hungary – punishment – sex crimes – towns – urban judiciary
