Towards a Characterization of ‘Race Law’ in Medieval Wales
Welsh persons were subject to legal restrictions within and near Wales, from the point of local English conquest, c.1067–1283, until the 1536 Act of Union of England and Wales. In this article we outline modern scholars’ two main definitions of ‘race’ and ‘racism’ applicable to the middle ages, both ‘race’ as a structural relationship used to essentialize and disadvantage a group and ‘race’ as a package of presumed heritable physical, mental and …
London creditors and the fifteenth-century depression
Evidence of debts owed to Londoners, and contested before the royal Court of Common Pleas, allows an examination of the role of London creditors in the English depression of the fifteenth century and a reassessment of its causes. In this article, four main issues are examined. What is the nature of the Court of Common Pleas evidence (section I)? What were the three main forms of credit offered by Londoners-unsecured cash loans, sales of goods on …
Changes in exposure to ‘life stressors’ in the Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander population, 2002 to 2008
The reduction in exposure to life stressors for the remote Indigenous population may be related to policy and practice changes (e.g. more police, income quarantining, housing construction). The differential change in exposure to life stressors between remote and non-remote locations highlights the importance of presenting data for these geographic locations separately
The Fifteenth Century XII

This article uses data gathered by the University of London, Centre for Metropolitan History's recent project ‘Londoners and the Law: Pleadings in the Court of Common Pleas’, which sampled London-related cases pleaded before the fifteenth-century court of Common Pleas, to analyze the use of arbitration by sub-gentry and mercantile class disputants. It examines the relationship between arbitration and litigation at common law, the volume of London…
Wealth, status and ‘race’ in the Ruthin of Edward II
This article is a case study of the racially mixed, seigniorial borough of Ruthin (modern Denbighshire) in the early fourteenth century. It seeks to explore material inequalities and social aspects of the integration of English and Welsh burgesses in an urban setting. It concludes that whilst a disproportionate quantity of wealth did lie with the borough's English residents, Welsh burgesses enjoyed nearly comprehensive access to the community's w…
