Book excerpt: Offering an important new perspective on medieval political, legal, and social history in England, Anthony Musson examines how medieval people at all social levels thought about law, justice, politics, and their role in society.

This illuminating approach reveals a comprehensive picture of two centuries worth of tremendous social change.
