| Summary | "Das Recht der Hagestolze: Eine Heiratsgeschichte aus dem Neckartal" by Julius Wolff is a historical novel written in the late 19th century. Set in 1397, the story introduces us to a complex blend of medieval societal norms, particularly focusing on the unusual law concerning unmarried men, known as the right of the Hagestolze, which stipulates that a man's possessions may default to the prince if he dies unwed. The novel primarily revolves around the character Bligger von Steinach, who is determined to resolve the predicament of his brother Hans, a 49-year-old bachelor at risk of losing his inheritance due to this law. At the start of the tale, we follow Bligger as he clandestinely enters Heidelberg disguised as a monk to consult a legal expert about the Hagestolze law. His encounter with the learned Magister Wiederhold reveals the harsh realities of the law, prompting Bligger to devise a plan to ensure Hans finds a wife and secures his inheritance. The narrative quickly immerses us in the dynamics between the rivaling noble families of the Neckartal, setting the stage for potential romantic entanglements and a series of comedic events that arise from medieval courtship traditions. With a backdrop filled with intrigue, tradition, and aspirations, the opening engages readers in a richly textured world of feudal life and the urgent quest for love amidst legal and social challenges.
