| A classic example of a dispute over the weregild of a slave is contained in Iceland's Egil's Saga. |
| I knew that no weregild, as the Saxon calls it, would be enough to save me from the Cornishman. |
| In Jim Butcher's Dresden Files novel Skin Game, Dresden offers John Marcone a cashbox of diamonds as weregild for an employee murdered by Deirdre Archleon. |
| The weregild for a Welshman was 220 shillings if he owned at least one hide of land and was able to pay the king's tribute. |
| The size of the weregild was largely conditional upon the social rank of the victim. |
| Technically this amount cannot be called a weregild, because it was more akin to a reimbursement to the owner for lost or damaged property. |
