Évaluation du vendeur 4 sur 5 étoiles
Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book presents a compelling exploration of the trials of judges and officials undertaken by King Edward I shortly after his triumphant return from Gascony in 1289. Rooted in extensive archival research, the book offers a window into a largely overlooked but fascinating chapter in English history. Following a period of royal absence, Edward I found his realm plagued by numerous grievances brought forth by rampant lawlessness, corruption, and abuse of power within the judiciary. Prompted by these concerns, the King commissioned a special investigation to uncover the truth behind such claims. The trials that ensued exposed a staggering network of misconduct among high-ranking officials, revealing a pattern of extortion, bribery, illegal imprisonment, perversion of justice, and even murder. The book delves into the specific cases brought before the commission, providing an illuminating study of medieval justice and the inner workings of the royal court. Through meticulous analysis of the surviving records, the author sheds light on the nature and extent of official malfeasance during this tumultuous period. The book's significance lies in its contribution to a fuller understanding of the legal and political landscape of 13th-century England. It offers fresh insights into the complex relationship between the Crown and its officials, highlighting the challenges faced by Edward I in his efforts to establish order and accountability within the justice system. Furthermore, the book provides valuable source material for scholars interested in the history of crime, punishment, and legal procedure in medieval England. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format.
