Crime in Medieval Europe - 1200-1550 (Paperback)

This ambitious survey of lawlessness and legal retribution in medieval Europe ranges across the continent and Britain.

Providing much-needed synthesis of recent research and scholarship, Crime in Medieval Europe, 2e, presents case studies to open up areas for discussion and debate, draws attention to changing attitudes to and definitions of crime and examines social relations context in which crimes were committed. Trevor Dean uses court records to illuminate the lives of ordinary men and women, who often found themselves at the sharp end of law. Drawing on the proliferation of new sources now available on the subject, this is an original account of the creation, extension and aggravation of criminal law and its penalties, and the effects and responses they generated.
