In the early modern English imagination, a cuckold was the epitome of a failed patriarch. Yet, in the legal sphere the insult “cuckold” was not actionable and barely had a presence. This paper explores this apparent paradox using accusations of cuckoldry in a 17th century church court and Chancery marital separation suit.
