Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book analyzes the politico-legal systems of Anglo-Saxon towns from their inception to the Norman Conquest. Challenging the prevailing notion of a uniform, Roman-derived system, the author argues that Anglo-Saxon towns were a direct outgrowth of the Germanic settlements that preceded them. Utilising a body of source material including land charters, legal codes, chronicles, and archaeological evidence, the author explores the composition, physical character, and government of Anglo-Saxon towns. Drawing parallels with contemporaneous continental Germanic towns, they demonstrate the organic growth of the Anglo-Saxon urban system, from military encampments to economic and administrative hubs. The book provides a comprehensive and nuanced understanding of Anglo-Saxon urban life, revealing the complexities of its political and legal structures, its evolving relationship with the surrounding countryside, and its significant contribution to the development of English civic institutions.
