The clauses relating to the bauga payments are followed by three others, headed ‘On saker,’ and the further recipients of wergeld, as before, seem to be divided into upnáms and sakaukar, but in this case there is a strange mixture of the two. The mother’s brother and the sister’s son are excluded from the upnáms to make way for the half-brother by the same mother of the thrallborn son.
Clause 246, ‘On saker,’ gives twelve ores to each of the following, who in clause 250 are called upnám men.
| Father’s brother | 12 ores | |
| Brother’s son | 12 ” | |
| Brother by the same mother | 12 ” | |
| Thrallborn son | 12 ” | |
| Daughter’s son | 12 ” | |
| Mother’s father | 12 ” | |
| 72 ores | = 9 marks. |
So that the bauga and upnám payments—two thirds and one third—added together once more make a normal wergeld of twenty-seven marks, that is, thirty of the Merovingian standard.
Then clause 247, ‘Further on saker,’ gives to—
| Mother’s brother | 9 ores |
| Sister’s son | 9 ” |
| Thrallborn brother | 9 ” |
| Father’s sister’s son | 6 ” |
The whole wergeld 2 marks of nova moneta or 30 Roman marks.
And in clause 248 ‘further on saker,’ a thrallborn father’s brother and a thrallborn daughter’s son by a kinborn father, take each a mark.
The traditional wergeld seems, therefore, once more to be 27 marks of Charlemagne or 30 Merovingian marks, and the additional payments appear to be sakaukar. But the upnám group in this case includes the brother by the same mother and the thrallborn son, leaving outside as sakaukar the mother’s brother and the sister’s son and the father’s sister’s son along with the thrallborn brother.
Payments to outsiders additional to secure safety, and varied locally.
