It refers to the monetary compensation paid by a wrongdoer to the family of a victim in cases of homicide or injury, intended to avoid blood feuds and provide restitution. The amount of wergild varied based on the social status of the victim and the nature of the offense. This practice emphasized the importance of honor and social order in early Germanic societies.
