Pages : 285
Book Description
The essays in Communities and Courts in Britain, 1150-1900 all reflect the wider concept of legal history - how legal processes fitted into the social and political life of the community and how courts and other legal processes were used by contemporaries. In doing so they aim both to justify the study of legal history in its own right and to show how legal records, including those of a variety of central and local courts, can be used to further our understanding of a wide range of social, commercial, popular and political history.

Book Description
Some of the poorest regions of historic Britain had some of its most vibrant festivities. Between the sixteenth and nineteenth centuries, the peoples of northern England, Lowland Scotland, and Wales used extensive celebrations at events such as marriage, along with reciprocal exchange of gifts, to emote a sense of belonging to their locality. Bride Ales and Penny Weddings looks at regionally distinctive practices of giving and receiving wedding gifts, in order to understand social networks and community attitudes. Examining a wide variety of sources over four centuries, the volume examines contributory weddings, where guests paid for their own entertainment and gave money to the couple, to suggest a new view of the societies of 'middle Britain', and re-interpret social and cultural change across Britain. These regions were not old fashioned, as is commonly assumed, but differently fashioned, possessing social priorities that set them apart both from the south of England and from 'the Celtic fringe'. This volume is about informal communities of people whose aim was maintaining and enhancing social cohesion through sociability and reciprocity. Communities relied on negotiation, compromise, and agreement, to create and re-create consensus around more-or-less shared values, expressed in traditions of hospitality and generosity. Ranging across issues of trust and neighbourliness, recreation and leisure, eating and drinking, order and authority, personal lives and public attitudes, R. A. Houston explores many areas of interest not only to social historians, but also literary scholars of the British Isles.

Of the chetham society's publications), the circumstances under which these Records came into the possession of the Corporation of Manchester were described, and that book consisted of extracts from the first and oldest ms. Volume of such Records. It has been thought desirable, further to illustrate the local government of Manchester in that period, to make a series of extracts from the second ms. Volume of the old Court Leet books, for the last sixteen years of the long and glorious reign of queen Elizabeth; and the pre sent volume is the result of such determination. Com mencing with the Michaelmas leet of I 586, it closes with that of October 1602, the'last held during her reign; for the Easter court of 1603 was held in April, king James I. Succeeding to the English crown on the 24th of March in that year. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
