About: Arvals

Arvals, Arvels or Arthels (Old Norse Arfr, "inheritance", and öl, Old English"Ale", a banquet), primarily the funeral dinner, and later, especially in the north of England, a thin, light, sweet cake, spiced with cinnamon and nutmeg, served to the poor at such feasts. The funeral meal was called the Arvel-dinner. On such occasions, the custom seems to have been to hold an informal inquest, when the corpse was publicly exposed, to exculpate the heir and those entitled to the property of the dead from all accusations of foul play.

  • Arvals, Arvels o Arthels (del Nórdico antiguo Arfr, "herencia" y öl, inglés antiguo "Ale", banquete), hacía referencia en un principio a la cena del día de un funeral aunque más tarde ha pasado a denominar —sobre todo en el norte de Inglaterra— a una torta dulce, delgada y ligera, aderezada con canela y nuez moscada, que se servía a los pobres en esas fiestas. La cena del funeral viene a denominarse Arvel-dinner. La costumbre parece haber sido una comida que ayude a mantener en casa a los asistentes mientras se realizaba una "investigación" informal —con el cadáver expuesto públicamente— que permita exculpar de acusaciones de responsabilidad (y crimen) tanto a la persona heredera como a las que tienen derecho a las propiedades del muertos.​ (es)
