2015 Interview on Duke of Gloster St
Question: “What crimes were committed in different tribes, and what punishments were dealt out because of them?”
Answer: “We had what we called blood law, and that was a major component in our law. It was basically an eye for an eye. So if I and several of my clan members were killed by another clan or tribe, we would go and seek retribution and restore the balance in our eyes by killing an equal number of people from that tribe.
