Definition of vidua regis

Vidua Regis is a Latin term that refers to two different things:

The widow of a king
The widow of a tenant in capite

The second meaning is because the widow was not allowed to marry again without the king's permission. The king was her protector and gave her a dower.

For example, if a nobleman died and left his wife behind, she would become a Vidua Regis. She would receive support from the king and could not remarry without his permission.

The end of law is not to abolish or restrain, but to preserve and enlarge freedom.
