Magna Carta marked a watershed in the relations between monarch and subject and as such has long been central to English constitutional and political history. This volume uses it as a springboard to focus on social, economic, legal, and religious institutions and attitudes in the early thirteenth century. What was England like between 1199 and 1215? And, no less important, how was King John perceived by those who actually knew him? The essays here analyse earlier Angevin rulers and the effect of their reigns on John's England, the causes and results of the increasing baronial fear of the king, the "managerial revolution" of the English church, and the effect of the ius commune on English common law. They also examine the burgeoning economy of the early thirteenth century and its effect on English towns, the background to discontent over the royal forests which eventually led to the Charter of the Forest, the effect of Magna Carta on widows and property, and the course of criminal justice before 1215. The volume concludes with the first critical edition of an open letter from King John explaining his position in the matter of William de Briouze. Contributors: Janet S. Loengard, Ralph V.

During the Anglo-Norman period a concept of law developed, binding ruler and ruled alike and which was based on custom common throughout the country. This was Common Law and it was from this that subsequent law developed. John Hudson's text is an introductory survey of Common Law for students and other non-specialist readers. Certain aspects of medieval law such as its feuds, its ordeals and its outlaws are well known, this text shows how these aspects fitted in to the system as a whole, considers its Anglo-Saxon origins, the influence of the Norman invaders and later administrative reforms. The events and legal processes also throw light on the society, politics and thought of the times.

The Formation of English Common Law provides a comprehensive overview of the development of early English law, one of the classic subjects of medieval history. This much expanded second edition spans the centuries from King Alfred to Magna Carta, abandoning the traditional but restrictive break at the Norman Conquest. Within a strong interpretative framework, it also integrates legal developments with wider changes in the thought, society, and politics of the time. Rather than simply tracing elements of the common law back to their Anglo-Saxon, Norman or other origins, John Hudson examines and analyses the emergence of the common law from the interaction of various elements that developed over time, such as the powerful royal government inherited from Anglo-Saxon England and land holding customs arising from the Norman Conquest. Containing a new chapter charting the Anglo-Saxon period, as well as a fully revised Further Reading section, this new edition is an authoritative yet highly accessible introduction to the formation of the English common law and is ideal for students of history and law.

Erstwhile professor of law Frederic Maitland investigates the origins and history of England's legal system, and its evolution through the centuries. The first laws native to England were enacted by Saxon kings, with King Aethelbert being the first monarch to do so in around A.D. 600. These early laws set out necessary compensations and punishments in the event of wrongdoing such as theft or physical harm. The law advanced steadily in Medieval times, with kings such as Edward I and Henry III particularly keen to advance its codification, motivated by the organization of the realm's lands, revenues and taxes. For much of the Middle Ages, French was the language spoken by lawyers and legal scholars - it was not until the reign of Henry VII (1485-1509) that English became the speech used in law. Prior to Maitland's writing, no history of English law had been published. In his lifetime, Maitland produced several books tackling legal history from historic and constitutional perspectives. This book, published nine years after Maitland's death in 1906, unites and organizes his finest studies into a compelling, chronological narrative. The author's keen and lively style, moved by genuine and abundant passion in the subject, will satisfy the curious reader whether they seek to supplement formal study of law, or are researching the topic out of casual interest.
