Seeping into Prosecution: The Men Who Spoke for the King in Early Tudor England
From Written Record to Bureaucratic Mind: Imagining a Criminal Record
In 1518 the chief justice of King's Bench initiated an attempt to track successful claims of benefit of clergy on the assize circuits to ensure that laymen could make such claims only once, as mandated by a statute dating from 1490. By doing so he was the first to attempt to create a criminal record in England, where an individual felon's crimes were recorded with the expectation that an earlier crime would have implications for the punishment of…
Ecclesiastical Prisons and Royal Authority in the Reign of Henry VII
After his appointment as chief justice of King's Bench in 1495, John Fyneux pressured the ecclesiastical hierarchy through indictments for escapes which explored which officials had responsibility for the prisons and how they were managed, and thereby successfully asserted the royal right of oversight. By the end of Henry VII's reign his bishops, faced with ruinous fines like other lords, had largely accepted their role as gaolers under royal aut…

Memory, Orality, and Life Records: Proofs of Age in Tudor England
This article examines memories of the births of feudal heirs to consider both what witnesses remembered from their past and how they remembered it. It argues that in the early sixteenth century jurors' memories revolved around the life-course markers of birth, marriage, and death, and were recalled in parallel with the same events in the lives of their neighbors. By the later sixteenth century written records came to play a greater role in the pr…
Of good name and fame in the countrey: Standards of conduct for Henry VII's chamber officials
Over the past forty years historians have argued at length about the nature and function of Henry VII's chamber machinery. This article looks at some of these issues through the lens of two documents produced by auditors in the office, one a comment on a 1512 statute, the other a pay dispute. It argues that attention to the personnel who made up the office and their assumptions and expectations suggests that while Henry VII did innovate in his me…

Left History features articles from a variety of theoretical approaches; these include feminist, marxist, and postmodernist deliberations on topics such as race, ethnicity, class, gender, sexuality, culture, the state, labour, the environment, theory, and method
Idiots, lunatics and the royal prerogative in early Tudor England
This article examines the care and custody of the insane under the common law in the late fifteenth and early sixteenth century. Lectures given in the Inns of Court and records of actual idiots and lunatics suggest that, despite the king's prerogative rights over the insane, there seems to have been a general recognition that their families could often provide for them. While the king did not abdicate all his claims to their custody, the administ…

The Voices of Morebath: Reformation and Rebellion in an English Village , by Eamon Duffy
The Royal Prerogative and the Learning of the Inns of Court
Between the mid-fifteenth and mid-sixteenth century Prerogativa Regis, a central text of fiscal feudalism, was introduced into the curriculum of the Inns of Court, developed, and then abandoned. This 2003 book argues that while lawyers often turned their attention to the text when political and financial issues brought it to the fore, they sought to maintain an intellectual consistency and coherence in the law. Discussions of both substance and p…
