There's a difference though. While the rape and pillage of a conquered village was acceptable, going up to another man's wife or daughter and raping her was not. A double standard to be sure. It was more to do with war and putting a populace under heel than sex. But, of course, it doesn't change that some people think of other people as property in particular in a time like the Middle Ages when human rights was basically unheard of.

I will admit my Medieval knowledge isn't that great.
But it was a time where human rights were almost enough, and misogyny was rampant.

Very easy setting to have a "Woman are oppressed" setting if you ever wanted that to be the theme of the RP for some odd reason... :/
But also very easy setting to create really dickish villains who wouldn't realistically be in jail or suffer a death penalty.
