2. Magdalena loaned him 2 florins.
3. He admitted received the 6 florins.
4. Magdalena assigned the 6 florins in dowry to Hugo
5. Everyone knows this.
In the depositions that follow on behalf of Magdalena, Guillelmona (Peire's wife) is the one who receives the rahondon (and child's houppenlade) from Magdalena and acknowledges it as a debt, not Peire, even though Guillelmona isn't mentioned at all in Magdalena's articles of proof. Also, in depositions on behalf of Peire, Guillelmeta Romaneta and Gabriella Baussana appear and tell the court that Magdalena loaned their husbands 9 florins and 20 florins, but their husbands don't ever come before the court. The wives seem to have engaged with the credit market on behalf of their husbands, who don't appear at all. Could there have been an added level of gendered humiliation associated with bringing a debt action against Peire?
