Description: The Legal Framework of English Feudalism The Maitland Lectures given in 1972 Professor Milsom works out a fresh view of the beginnings of the common law concerning land. S.F.C. Milsom (Author) 9780521082839, Cambridge University Press Paperback / softback, published 14 October 2008 220 pages 21.6 x 14 x 1.3 cm, 0.29 kg Professor Milsom works out a fresh view of the beginnings of the common law concerning land. The received picture depends upon progressive assumptions: key words began with their later meanings; the law began with abstract ideas of property; a tenant's title to his tenement was never subject to his lord's control; the lord had no discretion, only the power to decide disputes according to external criteria; jurisdiction in that sense was all the lord lost as royal remedies developed; and all the tenant gained was better protection of unaltered rights. It is a picture of procedural changes taking place against an unchanging background, with the feudal structure at the beginning almost as insubstantial as it was to be at the end. 1.
