Éraic (or ''eric'') was the Irish equivalent of the Welsh galanas and the Anglo-Saxon and Scandic weregild, a form of tribute paid in reparation for murder or other major crimes. The term survived into the sixteenth century as ''eiric'', by then relating only to compensation for the killing of an Irishman. In Irish mythology the eraic takes an important place. In the ''Oidheadh Chloinne Tuireann'', the children of Tuirreann owe an eraic to Lugh. Lug set them a series of seemingly impossible quests as recompense. They achieved them all, but were fatally wounded in completing the last one. ==See also== *Blood money *Diyya *Galanas *Główszczyzna *Weregild 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Éraic」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
