First comprehensive survey of how kinship rules were discussed and
applied in medieval England. Two separate legal jurisdictions
concerned with family relations held sway in England during the
high middle ages: canon law and common law. In thirteenth- and
fourteenth-century Europe, kinship rules dominated the lives of
laymenand laywomen. They determined whom they might marry (decided
in the canon law courts) and they determined from whom they might
inherit (decided in the common law courts). This book seeks to
uncover the association between the two, exploring the ways in
which the two legal systems shared ideas about family relationship,
where the one jurisdiction - the common law - was concerned about
ties of consanguinity and where the other - canon law - was
concerned toadd to the kinship mix of affinity. It also
demonstrates how the theories of kinship were practically applied
in the courtrooms of medieval England.
