Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book offers a fascinating exploration of the Manor, a cornerstone of medieval English society. It delves into the intricacies of Manorial law and custom, examining the complex relationships between lords and tenants, and the legal structures that governed life on the Manor. The author traces the origins of the Manor back to Saxon times, highlighting its evolution under the Norman influence and its eventual transformation into a system of feudal tenure. The book meticulously dissects the roles of various figures within the Manorial system, such as the lord, steward, bailiff, and tenants, revealing the nuanced power dynamics and legal processes that governed these relationships. The reader will gain a deep understanding of the Court Baron, its jurisdiction, and how it functioned in resolving disputes among tenants. Further chapters address important elements of Manorial law, such as the concept of heriot, a form of tribute paid to the lord upon the death of a tenant, and relief, a payment made by an heir to secure their inheritance. The book carefully examines the origins and historical evolution of these customs, providing valuable insights into the economic and social realities of life on the Manor. This book is a unique resource for anyone seeking to understand the complex legal and social world of the medieval Manor, offering a glimpse into the lives of our predecessors and the systems that shaped their existence.
