This volume captures the escalating constitutional crisis of 1312, preserving the exact legal mechanics of England just months before it descended into chaos. The Easter and Trinity terms documented here took place at the absolute zenith of the baronial opposition led by the Lords Ordainers, who sought to strip King Edward II of his administrative power. These cases occurred precisely as the King's controversial favorite, Piers Gaveston, returned from exile in defiance of the Ordinances, sparking an armed pursuit that concluded with Gaveston's capture and extrajudicial execution in June 1312.Beyond its intense political background, the volume is a foundational resource for tracing the evolution of English common law. It preserves the transition from fluid oral pleading into fixed written precedents, capturing the raw arguments of fourteenth-century English lawyers. This volume includes reports of cases heard in the Easter and Trinity terms of 5 Edward II. N° de réf. du vendeur 78759
