Picking up the Pieces
Almost no records of proceedings in the medieval London sheriffs' courts are extant. I will demonstrate in this feasibility study of one shrieval year to what extent the reconstruction of the lost archives of the London sheriffs is possible and what can be learned from a systematic collection of all available evidence. By going beyond the Chancery corpus cum causa files our knowledge of cases heard in the sheriffs' courts is not only nearly doubl…
Fama. The Politics of Talk and Reputation in Medieval Europe
Article Fama. The Politics of Talk and Reputation in Medieval Europe was published on August 1, 2005 in the journal Zeitschrift der Savigny-Stiftung für Rechtsgeschichte: Germanistische Abteilung (volume 122, issue 1).
Bill Litigation and the Observance of Sundays and Major Festivals in the Court of King's Bench in the Fifteenth Century
The attitudes of medieval people toward Sundays and Holy Days have always been of interest to historians. They have been studied from at least five different perspectives. Max Levy, for instance, explained how Sunday developed from a day that commemorated Christ's resurrection, but was originally a working day ( dies dominica ), to a day of worship, contemplation, and rest. Initially no (servile) work was allowed, but exceptions were accepted bec…
The Writ and the Exception de odio et atia
In this article it is argued that the purpose of the writ de odio et atia did not change after 1215 but that it remained a means of preventing the imprisonment of the innocent for a long time pending trial. Historians have confused references to the writ de odio et atia with references to the exception de odio et atia and have thus come to false conclusions. Moreover, the decline of the writde odio et atia noticeable in the fourteenth century has…
Bills of Custody in the reign of Henry VI
In contrast to views put forward by Marjorie Blatcher, it is argued here that the impact of Bills of Custody on business in the court of King's Bench in the late fifteenth century can only be judged if all custodial bills are counted and only if special attention is given to those bills dealing with matters which would otherwise have been outside the court's normal jurisdiction. It is shown that the increase in the numbers of such cases is too mo…
