DESCRIPTION:In the early modern English imagination\, a cuckold was the ep
 itome of a failed patriarch. Yet\, in the legal sphere the insult “cucko
 ld” was not actionable and barely had a presence. This paper explores th
 is apparent paradox using accusations of cuckoldry in a 17th century churc
 h court and Chancery marital separation suit.
