This book tells one part of the long history of the institution of
marriage. Questions concerning the formation and annulment of
marriage came under the exclusive jurisdiction of the church courts
during the Middle Ages. Drawing on unpublished records of these
courts, Professor Helmholz describes the practical side of
matrimonial jurisdiction and relates it to his outline of the
formal law of marriage. He investigates the nature of the cases
heard, the procedure used, the people involved and changes over the
period covered, all of which add to what is known about marriage
and legal practice in medieval England. The concluding assessment
of canonical jurisdiction over marriage suggests that the
application of the law was more successful than is usually thought.
