This book provides a detailed literary investigation of 'Codes' as a genre. Codes are a type of decree that precedes modern law as we know it. The book discusses the nature, form, kinship, and connections between the few legal codes attributed to the Anglo -Saxon kings before the Norman Conquest in 1066. The author meticulously examines the surviving legal codes of Kings Ine, Alfred, and Ethelred. The main focus of the book lies in understanding the sophisticated legal techniques and social strategies that were employed in the creation of these laws and how that can be interpreted through a modern lens. This volume will be of great interest to researchers and scholars focusing on legal history, Anglo -Saxon history, and early medieval English law.
