Collected Papers on English Legal History, by John Baker
Editor for the Selden Society, cataloguer of manuscripts, author of the standard introduction to English legal history, writer of the definitive study of common law under the Tudor kings, biographer of hundreds of lawyers, and compiler of a manual of law French, Sir John Baker had no need to improve upon his immense contribution to legal scholarship. Yet this collection adds a formidable body of learning of dauntingly high standard. Eighty-four p…
Anticlericalism and the Early T udor Parliament
This article reconsiders one aspect of C hristopher H aigh's influential article ‘Anticlericalism and the E nglish Reformation’. His article argued that anticlericalism in early 16th‐century England had been exaggerated, mislabelled and (in effect) invented as a scholarly construct. Dr H aigh proceeded to dismantle the foundations of anticlericalism in literature, in litigation, and in legislation. Evidence of anticlericalism in parliament, he ma…
Heresy, Law and the State
As a punishment for heresy, forfeiture of property had originated in Roman law, was decreed by canon law, and applied across late medieval Europe. English ecclesiastical and secular legislation of the early fifteenth century formally adopted confiscation in response to the threat of Lollardy. Prompted by Oldcastle's rising, in 1414 an Act of Parliament ordered that heretics should henceforth suffer the penalty of felony forfeiture. This identific…
The Essex inquisitions of 1556
Many English Protestants responded to the restoration of Catholicism under Mary by fleeing. The regime attempted to force refugees to return by seizing their property. In Essex in September 1556 two special commissions identified fugitives and their possessions. The returns were enrolled in the court of the exchequer, and this text has been published. The second entry was, however, unfinished. This note locates the missing returns. In addition to…
Heresy and Forfeiture in Marian England
The work of the martyrologist John Foxe ensures that the burnings dominate modern accounts of the campaign waged again Protestantism in the reign of Mary I (1553–8). Drawing on other sources, this article examines forfeiture of property, a less noticed but more common penalty imposed upon Protestants. It describes the types of forfeiture that occurred and analyses their legal basis; it considers the impact of the penalty and highlights means of e…
A Perspective on the Church–State Confrontation of 1515
The statute 4 Henry VIII, c. 2 denied benefit of clergy for particular crimes to certain offenders, and also modified due process in handling pleas of sanctuary. The statute's possible renewal in the parliament of 1515 triggered a confrontation between the crown and leading churchmen. The passage of the act through the parliament of 1512 illuminates this important episode. The law that was enacted is shown to have differed substantively from the …
The Enemy of God and His Church’
Praemunire was the offence of undermining royal authority. Despite its antipapal origins, by 1500 praemunire was being used to inhibit the exercise of ecclesiastical jurisdiction within England. Notorious from 1529 as a royal instrument for intimidating the clergy, praemunire was already contentious at the beginning of the sixteenth century. Historians of the common law have identified a growing number of praemunire cases in these years; at the s…
The English Parliaments of Henry VII 1485-1504
This study offers a major reinterpretation of early Tudor constitutional history. According to the grand ‘Whig’ tradition, the parliaments of Henry VII were a disappointing retreat from the onward march of liberty towards parliamentary democracy. The king was at best indifferent and at worst hostile to parliament; its meetings were cowed and quiescent, subservient to the royal will. Yet little research has tested these assumptions. Drawing on ext…
Parliamentarians at Law
The enforcement of the penal statutes in the 1490s
Henry VII's reputation for avarice partly rests on the enforcement of penal statutes. From about 1505, according to contemporaries, the increasingly grasping king exploited statutory penalties to raise revenue. However, the regime's behaviour should be contextualized by examining the whole reign. Two sources connected with the 1495 parliament shed light on the subject: in one, the king reported his intention to implement existing legislation; in …
