caput lupinum การใช้

In the common law of England, a " Writ of Outlawry " made the pronouncement " Caput lupinum " ( " Let his be a wolf's head ", literally " May he bear a wolfish head " ) with respect to its subject, using " head " to refer to the entire person ( cf . " per capita " ) and equating that person with a wolf in the eyes of the law : Not only was the subject deprived of all legal rights of the law being outside of the " law ", but others could kill him on sight as if he were a wolf or other wild animal.
