Paperback. Condizione: New. Print on Demand. This book provides an illuminating glimpse into the 13th century English justice system, through a collection of two medieval criminal court records. These documents, dating from 1235 and 1242, offer a unique insight into the inner workings of a legal system far removed from our own. They were written by the justiciars, or traveling judges, who traveled throughout the bishopric of Durham administering justice. As one of the most important ecclesiastical jurisdictions outside London at that time, Durham had its own independent system, headed by the Bishop. Consequently, the criminal rolls presented here are some of the most significant criminal records to survive from the period, exceeding even those of royal courts in their detail, offering a distinct contribution to the study of legal procedure and social history. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item.
