## Definition

In older documents - generally a payment for the repurchase of a thing or - for the redemption (ransom, release) in the sense of a ransom and redemption money. - In the case of belligerent nations, ransom agreements were sometimes in force, in which the exact amount to be paid for the ransom of a prisoner of war was specified. The payment was graded, differentiated, according to the rank of the prisoner of war. It was not until around 1800 that the exchange of prisoners (man by man) emerged in Europe instead of rancion, although here, too, it was graded according to rank. - See levies, deduction money, allodium money, angarie money, suit money, fire money, Dänengeld, defensioner money, Fersengeld, Frongeld, Fudelgeld, Hussengeld, manubia, satisfaction money, treasury, superinduct, tribute.
