Tracing women’s actions in legal practice through more than 6,000 original charters, this book describes and seeks to explain married women’s agency in the Swedish realm 1350-1450.

This book describes the ways in which married women appeared in legal practice in the medieval Swedish realm 1350-1450, through both the agency of women, and through the norms that surrounded their actions. Since there were no court protocols kept, legal practice must be studied through other sources. For this book, more than 6,000 original charters have been researched, and a database of all the charters pertaining to women created. This enables new findings from an area that has previously not been studied on a larger scale, and reveals trends and tendencies regarding aspects considered central to married women’s agency, such as networks, criminal liability, and procedural capacity.

Charlotte Cederbom is currently a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Helsinki.
