Annals of Scotland (Edinburgh, 1797), III. Appendix 1, pp. 1-21; Le Droit du Seigneur (Paris 1864), 191 ff., 232-243, and 276 ff. As to the supposed exception owing to the mythical law by that mythical king, Evenus or Eugenius, by the provisions of which according to Boece (who in his History of Scotland, published in 1527, seems to have been the first to resurrect or create the law, and the monarch) landlords were permitted to “deflower the virgin brides of their tenantry,” see Cosmo Innes’s Lectures on Legal Antiquities, 1872, “in Scotland there is nothing to ground a suspicion of such a right,” and J. G. Frazer, op. cit., vol. I. pp. 485-493.
