Atrox definition
Atrox means: hideous, cruel, savage, horrible, atrocious, severe …‘Enormis’: huge, out of line, irregular. We will treat these crimes as belonging to the same category, although there were dif‐ ferences. Both crimina atrociora and enormia were very vague concepts with enough in common to allow for them to be treated together. For more information, see Julien Théry, ‘Atrocitas/enor‐ mitas: Pour une histoire de la catégorie d’ “énormité” ou “crime énorme” du Moyen Âge à l’épo‐ que moderne’ Clio@Themis: revue éléctronique d’histoire du droit 4 (2011).
