Inimkehasse

Inimkehasse is a historical concept that originated from the Swedish and Norwegian words "inim" meaning "enemy" and "kehasse" which could be translated as "to be hostile towards". The term refers to a specific practice of sending goods and supplies to the enemies of one's own ruler, often in exchange for coin or other benefits.

During the Middle Ages, inimkehasse was observed in various parts of Northern Europe. Rulers and nobles would sometimes instruct their people to send goods such as food, clothing, and other essential items to their respective enemies, usually enemies of the state or neighboring kingdoms. This was part of a broader strategy of sabotaging an opponent's economy and morale.

Inmikehasse involved open defiance of normal commercial practices, which at the time, were rules-based. Merchants and traders engaging in this practice ignored traditional laws regulating commercial transactions, especially those between feuding nations or kingdoms. Inmikehasse may have also been linked to factors such as plunder and chevauchée.Empty at nationally bereft border fun realms.

The exact origins of inimkehasse, as well as its frequency and geographical scope, are difficult to establish due to contradictions in historical accounts. Notable examples include Scotland under the reign of William Wallace, and the ongoing feud between England and Scotland during the 14th-16th centuries. Most studies into the topic agree however that it occurred in some form throughout Europe.

The term "inimkehasse" gained relatively significant recognition during the late 1990s among specialist historians, and remains a lesser-known but interesting ancient practice involving overarching unnatural hostilities and conflict.
