A translation of Glanville by Ranulf de Glanville

"A translation of Glanville" by Ranulf de Glanville is a legal treatise written between 1187-1189. This groundbreaking work systematically codified English law for the first time, defining legal processes and introducing writs that remain influential today. Written for Henry II after years of chaos, it served as the foundation of English common law. The treatise consists of fourteen books covering jurisdictions and procedures in the King's Court, fundamentally transforming how justice was administered throughout the kingdom.
