I think the consensus among contemporary historians is that it was not an accepted custom among Christians. Also, that one source mentions it (I have no idea what that says, when it is from, what is the context etc. - I’m also no historian myself so an English translation would not necessarily help) it doesn’t mean it’s true, otherwise we would have to believe that Pegasus existed… or the myth of Salamanca’s council. Update: ah, I found the English translation. Indeed, by reading it like this I see what you mean, but I have no idea when, where and in what context it’s been written, whether it talks about a widespread thing, etc. For more context: https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/2omu3t/was_prima_nocta_an_actual_thing_in_european/#:~:text=The%20TL%3BDR%20is%20no,developed%20after%20the%20middle%20ages https://old.reddit.com/r/AskHistorians/comments/2omu3t/was_p.... My sources are, unfortunately, in Italian only :)
