Concubines sounds like a derogatory way of saying it.Lmao, they basically just said they'd be cool with being his concubines
Forget concubines, the country legalized polygamy. All of them can be the wives!Concubines sounds like a derogatory way of saying it.
Well polygamy I’m ok with. Concubines tho if I remember correctly was more of a slavery type of thing. Not the same thing as a wifeForget concubines, the country legalized polygamy. All of them can be the wives!
Is that how it works? I was always under the impression it was just a status thing for the sake of succession and management of assets. Wives of nobles for political marriage to create ties (between lords/nations), manage assets, and create heirs. Concubine's were often commoners to create ties(wealthy merchants/government officials/ lower nobles), become lovers, and to create more children (spare heirs).Well polygamy I’m ok with.

Honestly you’re probably right. I hadn’t seen too many where they distinguished that but from the recent ones I’ve seen that makes more sense.Is that how it works?

Slaves were less than serfs and I believe they had better status than that.
Fairly certain it was just a matter of standing. There was one main wife, and children with them had inheritance of family stuff. Concubines were other wives that had children outside of successionWell polygamy I’m ok with. Concubines tho if I remember correctly was more of a slavery type of thing. Not the same thing as a wife
