This book provides a detailed analysis of women's involvement in
litigation and other legal actions within their local communities
in late-medieval England. It draws upon the rich records of three
English towns - Nottingham, Chester and Winchester - and their
courts to bring to life the experiences of hundreds of women within
the systems of local justice. Through comparison of the records of
three towns, and of women's roles in different types of legal
action, the book reveals the complex ways in which individual
women's legal status could vary according to their marital status,
different types of plea and the town that they lived in. At this
lowest level of medieval law, women's status was malleable, making
each woman's experience of justice unique. -- .
