The Laws of the Kings of England from Edmund to Henry I - Hardcover

by Agnes Jane Robertson (Editor), Agnes Jane Robertson (Translator)

This valuable compilation of English laws from the tenth to the eleventh century is a companion to Frederick Attenborough's Laws of the Earliest English Kings (1922), which is available as a Lawbook Exchange reprint. For all but two of the texts in this volume, Robertson consulted original manuscripts, most of them in the library of Corpus Christi College, Cambridge. The laws are presented in their original language with English translations and detailed descriptions of their manuscript sources. First published in 1925, this volume remains an essential resource for legal studies of the late Anglo-Saxon and early Norman kings of England.
