Sobre este producto
  • This book delves into the sanctuary laws and customs prevalent in medieval England from the earliest Anglo-Saxon times to its abolition under James I. Tracing the origins of these customs back to pre-Christian ideas of sanctuary and the influence of Christianity, the author examines how these laws developed, and how they were implemented and enforced throughout various periods of English history. This included the legislation of kings such as Ethelbert, Ine, Alfred, Athelstan, and Canute. It also includes the later Anglo-Norman development of abjuration of the realm. In addition to general sanctuary law, the text also examines the special circumstances of certain chartered sanctuaries, such as the abbeys of Battle, Durham, and Westminster. The book concludes with a discussion of the eventual decline and extinction of sanctuary rights during the Tudor and Stuart periods. The book's insights provide a better understanding of a little-known aspect of medieval English society.
