About this ebook
"THIS BOOK places before general historians the results of a legal approach to some of the most famous statutes of Edward I - notably Mortmain, Ce Donis, the statutes of Merchants, Quia Emptores and Quo Warranto - with illustrations of their practical working from cases reported in the Year Books. These statues must necessarily be discussed with reference to the broad issues of legal, political, and social policy during the reign, and so particular attention has been given to the place of legislation in a system in a system of customary law, and to various aspects of feudalism such as liberties and franchises, the lord's formidable powers of distraining his tenants, the practical effect of some of the feudal incidents, the economic structure of the family views of land law with the requirements of commerce' - Publisher.
