Bastard Feudalism and the Law (Routledge Revivals) - Bellamy, John (Carleton University, Canada)

This title, first published in 1989, was one of the first to directly address the legal dimension of bastard feudalism. John Bellamy explores the role and vulnerability of local officials and juries, the nature of the endemic land wars and the interference in the justice system by those at the top of the social chain.
