Description

Explore the legal foundations of early medieval England with this academic work from Cambridge University Press. Domesday Book and the Law: Society and Legal Custom in Early Medieval England offers a deep look at one of the most significant historical records ever produced. While many view the Domesday Book solely as a statistical survey, this text argues for its importance as a vital legal document. By looking past the raw data, readers can find a wealth of information derived from inquests and testimony. The book examines the sworn statements provided by lords and their men, as well as the evidence from jurors impanelled in 1086. This approach allows for a clear understanding of legal customs and the state of the law before the rise of the common law system. It is an essential resource for students, historians, and legal scholars interested in the evolution of English society and its judicial structures.
