Law
English law is a chaotic Amalgam of Anglo-Saxon, Danish, Norman and Angevin traditions. Until the Magna Carta, there was no centralized or written form of law, so numerous regional variations existed, particularly at the manorial and hundred courts. Despite the efforts of the Barons, it will be another 30 years until the Provision of Westminster (1259) and the Baron’s War (1263-1267) that the issue will be settled, with the reign of Edwards I (1272-1307) seeing major constitutional advances.
The issuance of various town charters during the reigns of Richard and John has further complicated matters granting individual towns specific rights or exemptions. The following three strands of law currently exist in England; Common law, deals with a wide range of secular matters: Cannon law, relates to the Church; the blood laws, Mithras’s codified system of laws and courts, are intended to uphold the traditions.
