Adjective

  1. Designating a [[marriage]] (or the wife involved) between a man of higher [[rank]] and a woman of lower rank, often having various legal repercussions (typically that such a wife has no claim on the husband's possessions or title). It was not an aspect of [[English law]], but was common in other royal houses, especially in Germany.
