England's common law is stereotypically insular and immune to influence from the learned laws. However, manuscript discoveries reveal that in the late thirteenth and early fourteenth centuries some common lawyers turned to the canon law to illustrate and ornament their own kinship system. Canon law kinship treatises, aimed at beginners, occur in some common law manuscripts, as do arbores consanguinitatis (trees that illustrate the structures of the canon law kinship system). Some were adapted by common lawyers and the influence of this material was to extend even into common law courts
