The history of medieval law and the medieval laws is something which is growing and changing, as all history does, in the light of new interpretations, new evidence, and creative ideas. Fundamental to that drive for change, though, are the various projects that are functioning across the different laws in the central Middle Ages, and the institutions that support those projects.
All history is fundamentally collaborative: the links below represent a fraction of the people who are doing great work on legal history, but they are a starting place for some of the ideas that we’re engaging with.
