Synopsis

This volume is a collection of proceedings presented at the fourth Carlsberg Academy Conference on Medieval Legal History, held in Copenhagen in 2007. The book covers a wide range of topics from individual and local case studies to broader reflections of the relationship between law and power, secular as well as ecclesiastical, in medieval European societies. Combining the approaches of several historical disciplines - political, social, intellectual, and legal - an international group of eminent scholars offer their views on central aspects of the function of law in creating and maintaining social order.
