This book opens a unique window into medieval English law and society. Drawing on a rich and diverse set of cases that came before the royal courts at a time of major legal change, it immerses the reader in the complexities of land-holding, marriage and inheritance, as well as illuminating the social lives and familial relationships of the medieval nobility and gentry. The author convincingly shows how the law operated in practice, with all its inherent biases, as well as providing insights into the legal reasoning of the time and the development of property law in particular. These case studies offer a fresh perspective on the nature of legal rights and remedies and will be of great interest to anyone seeking a deeper understanding of the medieval legal system and its historical context.
