Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book presents a captivating glimpse into the dramatic trials of the English royal judges and other officials accused of corruption and tyranny in 1289. The trials mark an important moment in the strengthening of the English monarchy under Edward I. The author skillfully weaves to…gether original legal documents and historical accounts to shed light on the inner workings of the trials, revealing the extent of corruption within the justice system. Beyond the enthralling historical narrative, the book explores the evolution of English law in the 13th century. The trials demonstrate the struggle between the Crown's desire for a centralized and efficient justice system and the traditional local privileges and customs. The author highlights the gradual shift towards a more uniform and standardized legal framework, a key element in the shaping of the English common law system. Through a detailed analysis of the accusations, the book uncovers the ways in which the accused judges abused their power. It depicts their use of legal technicalities to pervert justice, their manipulation of records, and their outright extortion of money. The vivid accounts of intimidation, false imprisonment, and denial of justice offer a chilling reminder of the fragility of the rule of law in medieval England. Ultimately, the book provides valuable insights into the complex relationship between the Crown, the law, and the people in 13th-century England. It is a unique and fascinating exploration of a pivotal moment in the development of English law and the establishment of a fairer and more just society.
