The records of the medieval English courts were compiled into
manuscript 'year books', organised by regnal year of the monarch.
The year books for the regnal years 20-2 and 30-5 of Edward I
(1239-1307) were edited for the Rolls Series by Alfred Horwood
(1821-81), and published in five volumes between 1863 and 1879,
with translations provided for the Anglo-Norman text. Horwood notes
that the quantity of cases is surprising given the size of the
population. He attributes this to confidence among the people in
the king's justice, but also points out that the law's delays
during this period were notorious, and that in 1289 the king had
effectively purged most of his judges on the grounds of corruption.
This volume, published in 1879, contains cases from the four law
terms of the years 1305-7, ending at the death of Edward I.
