G. Justice

d. Punishments for the traitorous

43.01 [043] These are punishments for betrayal:^[1]

1. Anyone who, out of wrath, sets the red rooster upon the house of another is no Frya;^[2] he is the product of whoredom with adulterate blood. If he is caught in the act, he must be thrown into the fire. He may flee if he can, but shall nowhere be safe from the avenging hand.

2. No true Frya shall gripe or gossip over the faults of his neighbors. If his indiscretion affects only himself and is not a threat to others, then let him be his own judge. Should he become a menace, the case must be brought before the aldermen. But if there is any who accuses another behind his back, instead of going to the aldermen, he is guilty of treachery. He must be tied to the pillory in the market square so that the young folk may spit on him. After this, he is to be banished — but not to the tin mines because, even there, a slanderer is to be feared.^[3]

3. If ever there were someone so evil that he betrayed us to the enemy, revealing paths and passages so they can reach our places of refuge (Fleeburgs) or sneak into them by night, he can only be sprung of Finda’s blood. He should be burned. The navigators should take his mother and all his relatives to a distant island [044] and there scatter his ashes, so that no poisonous herbs might sprout from them here. The maidens must curse his name in all our towns,^[4] so no child is ever again called by that name and adults who already have that name may change it.

Notes

↑ ‘betrayal’ (HORNINGA) — lit.: whorelings, bastards; seems to denote here that these crimes prove someone is not a true Frya or constitute disloyalty.
↑ ‘the red rooster’ (THENE RÁDA HÔNE) — fire (expression).
↑ ‘slanderer’ (ÉRERÁWER) — lit.: honor-stealer.
↑ ‘curse’ (UTSPÉJA) — lit.: spit out.

-'''[p.63 cont.]''' These are the Rules Concerning Bastards.
-. If any man sets fire to another's house, he is no Frisian, he is a bastard. If he is caught in the act, he must be thrown into the fire; and wherever he may flee, he shall never be secure from the avenging justice.

-. No true Frisian shall speak ill of the faults of his neighbours. If any man injures himself, but does no harm to others, he must be his own judge; but if he becomes so bad that he is dangerous to others, they must bring it before the count. But if instead of going to the count a man accuses another behind his back, he must be put on the pillory in the market-place, and then sent out of the country, but not to the tin mines, because even there a backbiter is to be feared.

-. If any man should prove a traitor and show to our enemies the paths leading to our places of refuge, or creep into them by night, he must be the offspring of Finda; he must be burnt. The sailors must take his mother and all his relations to a desolate island, and there scatter his ashes, in order that no poisonous herbs may spring from them. The maidens must curse his name in all the states, in order that no child may be called by his name, and that his ancestors may repudiate him.
