Book Description
This is the first work devoted to setting the legal system of the early 15th century in its social and political context. Rejecting the traditional view of late medieval England as chronically lawless and violent, Powell emphasizes instead the structural constraints on royal power to enforce the law, and the king's dependence on the cooperation of local society for keeping the peace.
