The punishment for murder varied with time and place.

In the Early Middle Ages, the Germanic Kingdoms generally punished murder with a fine approximately equal to the income the murdered person might expect to get in three years. Double that for a king. The amount for a woman was half to double that of a man for the same rank.

Later in the Middle Ages, murder was generally a capital offense, and the punishment was execution.
