This article explores the ways in which parricide was comprehended in England and Wales, c.1600-1760, and shows that while some parallels exist with modern explanatory models of parricide offenders, they had very different meanings in the early modern context. While both lunacy and the cruelty of parents were understood as possible contexts for parricide, neither were common. The dominant explanation was the gratuitous violence of a selfish individual who lacked compassion and who saw the parent as an obstacle-to an inheritance, riches, marriage, and freedom-to be removed. The article explores these three categories and suggests ways in which this began to change in the mid-eighteenth century.

"The Extraordinary and the Everyday in Early Modern England is a fascinating collection of essays by renowned and emerging scholars exploring how everyday matters from farting to friendship reveal extraordinary aspects of early modern life, while seemingly exceptional acts and beliefs – such as those of ghosts, prophecies, and cannibalism – illuminate something of the routine experience of ordinary people. The essays in this book reflect not only Bernard Capp’s wide interests, but the authors have also been influenced by his distinctive capacity for empathy and originality and his unique ability to hear the voices of seventeenth-century people in the historical record."
