How the medieval right to appoint a parson helped give birth to
English common law Appointing a parson to the local church
following a vacancy-an "advowson"-was one of the most important
rights in medieval England. The king, the monasteries, and local
landowners all wanted to control advowsons because they meant
political, social, and economic influence. The question of law
turned on who had the superior legal claim to the vacancy-which was
a type of property-at the time the position needed to be filled. In
tracing how these conflicts were resolved, Joshua C. Tate takes a
sharply different view from that of historians who focus only on
questions of land ownership, and he shows that the English needed
new legal contours to address the questions of ownership and
possession that arose from these disputes. Tate argues that the
innovations made necessary by advowson law helped give birth to
modern common law and common law courts.
