Spanning key periods from the accession of Henry VII in 1485 to the early 19th century, the author presents diverse legal documents that mirror changing social norms, political contexts, and legal principles. These include a letter from an Italian humanist in the court of Henry VII, statutes reflecting the religious upheaval under Henry VIII, and a speech by Oliver Cromwell during the English Civil War.
