The Right on the First Nights.

In medivial Europe, did the aristocrats had the right to fuck the first night with the wife of his vasalls?

Is this true?

I am not sure, a realy good history book I had claimed the primae noctis is just a myth.

its Jus Primae Noctis or "Droit du Seigneur" or "Das Recht der ersten Nacht"

It's not clear but probably not. In the future will they say our movies are proof that we had super heroes? On the other hand there will have been attempts, I'm sure, just based on the rumor of it. Probably the answer is best put like this, "Not if anyone could help it." There's no evidence that it ever happened, just stories. No laws, no first hand accounts.
