Abstract

Abstract This study explores the nature and meaning of violence in 15th-century England. The book examines violence on each side of the law — both in crime and in law enforcement — in order to uncover the attitudes and beliefs of the inhabitants of medieval East Anglia. The book investigates the way their moral code was reflected in the procedures and punishments of the courts, and assesses the success of the legal system in maintaining authority and order. The book reveals the strong concern for order apparent in 15th-century society.
