In an upcoming article for The Journal of Modern History Allan A. Tulchin cites the study of documents and grave sites as evidence for homosexual civil unions in 15th century France.
Tulchin states such evidence as the use of the word affrèrement meaning brotherment which referred to a legal contract between men, as well as other legal language to prove the existence of such household arrangements. |
