This new interpretation of the development of land law in England during the century after the Norman Conquest examines the uses to which lords and vassals put their lands, the relationships between them and the constraints upon them, in an approach which integrates social, political, administrative, and intellectual history. John Hudson exploits much surviving charter and chronicle evidence in this scholarly analysis. He traces the increasing sophistication of law and the changes in royal control of justice, and offers a reassessment of legal developments in the 11th and 12th centuries.
