The old English law you are referring to is known as "jus primae noctis," or "the right of the first night." This feudal custom allegedly allowed a lord to consummate his marriage with a bride before her husband on her wedding night. However, historical evidence for its widespread practice is limited, and many scholars consider it more of a myth than a reality.
