Outlawry, Governance, And Law In Medieval England Hardcover

New

Melissa Sartore

Outlawry, governance, and law in medieval england evaluates the role of exclusionary practices, namely outlawry, in law and governance in england from the tenth through the thirteenth centuries. Traditional historical narratives dismiss exile, outlawry, and banishment as ineffective and weak methods of maintaining social order. More specifically, the present volume reassesses these forms of exclusion in matters of politics, law, and society, as well as their influence on increased use of imprisonment in later medieval england. Outlawry, governance, and law in medieval england is essential reading for scholars working in this field but is also highly recommended as a text for courses that assess medieval law and the practice of outlawry as well as the development of english common law.
