A cuckold is a married man who is married to a woman who is unfaithful. The term
for the woman is cuckqueans and a husband aware of the cheating and accepts it is
known as a wittol.
There is a saying that the husband could be seen as wearing the horns of a cuckold or
wearing the horns. This means everybody else can see but himself. In European
tradition, a tribe would forcefully make a man where antlers when his wife gave birth
to a child that were obviously not his.
They would have a big parade and he would dance around the camp fire with the
horns in front of everybody.
A good book about the history of cuckolding is in the book titled “Miller’s Tale” and
is a funny story about a husband who leads a life as a cuckold.
A famous icon of cuckolding is Leopold von Sacher Masoch. He was a little crazy
about the whole thing and loved to write articles about a long cuckold story.
