Opis

The legal texts of pre-Conquest England reveal the capacities and limits of the king's regulatory power, and provide key evidence for the process by which disparate kingdoms merged to become a unified English state. They offer unparalleled insight into Anglo-Saxon England's diverse inhabitants - those who enforced the law and those subject to it.
