Synopsis
This book explores the proceedings of a 13th-century commission appointed by King Edward I to investigate allegations of misconduct against his judges and other royal officials. These trials, prompted by an outcry against excessive and unfair treatment by the state's representatives, resulted in the imprisonment, fines, and abjurations of some of the highest-ranking members of the English judiciary. Through an examination of the commission's records, the author provides a unique insight into the nature of royal justice in medieval England, the means by which it could be subverted, and the often-harsh consequences for those who wielded it unjustly.
