This immensely informative book shines a light on the complex system of the English forest laws throughout the 13th century, a fascinating and little understood aspect of medieval society. With a specific focus on this period, the author dissects the laws that sought to preserve the king's deer and other animals known as "beasts of the forest", explaining the unique legal status of each. The roles of those who enforced the laws, from the king's justices to the foresters and agisters, are also explored, demonstrating how their varying responsibilities impacted the lives of those living in and around the forests.
