The lower ecclesiastical courts dispensed the justice of medieval canon law in its criminal guise, including inheritance settlement and punishment for breaches of Christian codes of conduct. This volume presents two rare and important examples for those who are not specialists in legal history.
The lower ecclesiastical courts were among the most important law courts that ordinary English people encountered in the Middle Ages. These courts dispensed the justice of medieval canon law in its criminal guise, punishing people for illicit sexual activity and other breaches of Christian codes of conduct, as well as overseeing inheritance via last will and testament. The records of these courts are few and fragmentary compared with secular courts of the period. This volume presents scholarly editions of two of the most important examples, for the benefit of those who are not specialists in legal history. The introduction, which explains the origins and nature of this kind of jurisdiction and describes the procedures followed in it, reveals why these neglected documents are an important source for social historians.
