In early Irish law (lóg n-enech), the value set on a free person's honour according to rank, which fixed the compensation due for injuries and the limit of their oath and suretyship.
In more detail
Honour-price was measured in units of value such as séts and cumals. A king's honour-price was far higher than a farmer's; slaves had none. It determined how much an offender owed for insults or injuries, in addition to fixed fines for killing (éraic), and how large a debt a person could guarantee. Status, and therefore honour-price, could change with wealth, office or misconduct. Comparable status-graded compensation appears in other medieval laws, such as wergild in Germanic and Frisian law.
