The Manorial Courts
The manorial courts of medieval England, from 1250 to 1500, played an ambiguous role in social relationships. They regulated self-governing village communities, and served as seignorial tribunals. When we assess the relative importance of these two functions, we find that although the courts aided the settlement of disputes between peasants, and defined customary law among the villagers, their primary purpose was to defend the interests of the lords. A popular justice operated outside the formal machinery of the seignorial courts. Source : Éditeur (via Persée) |
