This is a first edition of \'Council and Courts in Anglo-Norman England\' by George Burton Adams. -1926
George Burton Adams (1851-1925) was an American historian and professor at Yale University, specializing in English constitutional history. He was a prominent scholar of medieval England and its legal institutions. His works are still consulted by historians today.
‘Council and Courts in delves into the legal and political structures of England following the Norman Conquest. The book examines the roles of councils and courts in shaping the legal landscape of the era. It provides insights into the development of English common law and the evolution of governmental institutions during the Anglo-Norman period.
The judicial system constructed by the Normans after 1066 rested on a broad foundation of Anglo-Saxon institutions. Adams traces the evolution of this construction with an emphasis on the ways Anglo-Saxon and Norman practices influenced one another. He proceeds to demonstrate how the resulting judicial hybrid contributed to the development of the English constitution. Reprint of a title from the Yale Historical Publication Studies.
