Common Law and Feudal Society in Medieval Scotland

Analyses the development of law and legal system in Scotland between c.1100 and c.1550, with a major focus on the fourteenth and fifteenth centuries. The close links between the Scots and English law in the Middle Ages have long been recognised, but this classic text assesses the relevance of traditional approaches to Scottish legal history, setting the development of medieval law within the context of a society in which private lordship, exercised through courts and other less formal methods of dispute settlement, played a key role alongside royal justice.
