  • The Anglo-Saxon Period of English Law
    THE ANGLO-SAXON PERIOD OF ENGLISH LAW We find the proper starting point for the history of English law in what are known as Anglo-Saxon times. Not only does there seem to be no proof, or evidence of the existence of any Celtic element in any appreciable measure in our law, but also, notwithstanding the fact that the Roman occupation of Britain had lasted some four hundred years when it terminated in A. D. 410, the last word of scholarship does not bring to light any trace of the law of Imperial Rome, as distinct from the precepts and traditions of the Roman Church, in the earliest Anglo- Saxon documents. That the written dooms of our kings are the purest specimen of pure Germanic law, has been the verdict of one scholar after another. Professor Maitland tells us that: "The Anglo-Saxon laws that have come down to us (and we have no reason to fear the loss of much beyond some dooms of the Mercian Offa) are best studied as members of a large Teutonic family. Those that proceed from the Kent and Wessex of the seventh century are closely related to the Continental folk-laws. Their next of kin seem to be the Lex Saxonum and the laws of the Lom- bards."1 Whatever is Roman in them is ecclesiastical, the system which in course of time was organized as the Canon law. Nor are there in England any traces of any Romani who are being suffered to live under their own law by their Teutonic rulers.

  • Wessex and the Reign of Edmund Ii Ironside
    Chapter 16 Wessex and the Reign of Edmund ii Ironside David McDermott Edmund Ironside, the eldest surviving son of Æthelred ii (‘the Unready’), is an often overlooked political figure. This results primarily from the brevity of his reign, which lasted approximately seven months, from 23 April to 30 November 1016. It could also be said that Edmund’s legacy compares unfavourably with those of his forebears. Unlike other Anglo-Saxon Kings of England whose lon- ger reigns and periods of uninterrupted peace gave them opportunities to leg- islate, renovate the currency or reform the Church, Edmund’s brief rule was dominated by the need to quell initial domestic opposition to his rule, and prevent a determined foreign adversary seizing the throne. Edmund conduct- ed his kingship under demanding circumstances and for his resolute, indefati- gable and mostly successful resistance to Cnut, his career deserves to be dis- cussed and his successes acknowledged. Before discussing the importance of Wessex for Edmund Ironside, it is con- structive, at this stage, to clarify what is meant by ‘Wessex’. It is also fitting to use the definition of the region provided by Barbara Yorke. The core shires of Wessex may be reliably regarded as Devon, Somerset, Dorset, Wiltshire, Berk- shire and Hampshire (including the Isle of Wight).1 Following the victory of the West Saxon King Ecgbert at the battle of Ellendun (Wroughton, Wilts.) in 835, the borders of Wessex expanded, with the counties of Kent, Sussex, Surrey and Essex passing from Mercian to West Saxon control.2 Wessex was not the only region with which Edmund was associated, and nor was he the only king from the royal House of Wessex with connections to other regions.

  • Anglo Saxon and Norman England Booklet— 1.1 Anglo-Saxon Society Anglo-Saxon Society 1.1
    Anglo Saxon and Norman England Booklet— 1.1 Anglo-Saxon Society Anglo-Saxon Society 1.1 Social System: Peasant Farmers Majority of Anglo-Saxons were peasant farmers. Peasants did a set amount of work for the local lord as well as work- ing the land to support themselves and their family. If they did not work for the lord the lord could take away their land. ‘Ceorls’ peasants were free to go work for another lord if they wanted to. Slaves 10% of Anglo-Saxons were slaves. Slaves could be bought and sold, and treated more like property than people. The Normans thought that owning slaves was barbaric, but it was a normal part of Anglo-Saxon life. Thegns Thegns were local lords, there were between 4,000 and 5000 Thegns. Thegns was an important man in the local community and lived in a manor house with a separate church. Task Colour in the pie chart to represent the so- cial structure of Anglo-Saxon England. Earls Earls were the most important men after the king. The relation- ship between the king and his earls was based on loyalty. The king trusted the earl more he would give him greater re- wards. However, sometimes the earls challenged the king to get more power. The Power of the English Monarchy The king’s role was to protect his people from attack and give them laws to maintain safety and security at home. In return, the people of England owed him service. Every boy swore an oath when he reached the age of 12 to be faithful to the king.

  • Crime and Punishment in Anglo Saxon Times
    Crime And Punishment In Anglo Saxon Times What do we mean by Anglo Saxon times? This covers the time from when the Romans left Britain until the Norman invasion of 1066. England’s population in 1000 was between around 1,700,000 and 2,000,000. About 9 out of 10 people lived in the countryside in small and scattered villages, very few people lived in towns. It was these villages and the church that were responsible for upholding law and order in Anglo Saxon times. How were laws made in Anglo Saxon times? As successive kings gained more control of the land, law and order, which had been very local, more often became led by the king. He relied on his advisors to uphold the law across the land. KING - Rules the country and decides new laws. NOBLES - Given land by the king. They were wealthy and powerful. Some could advise and persuade the king when he makes new laws. SHIRE REEVES – Appointed by Nobles to make sure people follow the king's law. Responsible for maintaining law in their local area. FREEMEN - They could rent or own a small piece of land. They had no say in making the law. SERFS - They couldn’t own land and had to work for others for very low pay. They had no say in making the law. What was crime like in Anglo Saxon times? TOWNS – As people began to move into towns, there was more opportunity for crime to take place. Lots of valuable things, proved irresistible to thieves. There were many people in close contact, who didn’t know each other well, which made it easier to get away with a crime in a busy town.

The posse comitatus can be traced back at least as far as the reign of Alfred the Great in ninth- century England. The institution thrives today in the United States; a study of Colorado finds many county sheriffs have active posses. Like the law of the posse comitatus, the law of the office of sheriff has been remarkably stable for over a millennium.

  • Anglo – Saxon Society
    ABSTRACT This booklet will enable you to revise the key aspects of Paper 2 Anglo – Saxon England, some of which you may remember from year 9. After you have completed this booklet, there will be some more to revise Anglo – Saxon England before we move onto Norman England from 1066. Ms Marsh ANGLO – SAXON SOCIETY GCSE History Paper 2 How did Anglo – Saxon kings demonstrate their power? L.O: Explain key features of Anglo – Saxon kings 1. Which last Anglo – Saxon king ruled between 1042 - 1066? 2. Which people were the biggest threat to the Anglo – Saxons? 3. Who was at the top of Anglo – Saxon society? (Answers at the end of the booklet) Recap! The social hierarchy of Anglo – Saxon England meant that there were clear roles for everyone in society. The hierarchy was based on servitude – this meant that everyone had to do some sort of role to support the country. The king was the ultimate source of authority. This meant that all his decisions were final, partly due to the belief that God had chosen the king so any challenge to the king would be seen as a challenge to God. We call this belief anointed by God. Even though there were earldoms that were extremely powerful (see map below), most earls relied on the king to grant them their power and then maintain this power. Ultimately, the king could reduce the power of his earls or completely remove them. Edward the Confessor tried to do this in 1051, when he felt Earl Godwin had become too powerful – even though it ultimately failed, as Earl Godwin was allowed to regain his earldom, it demonstrates to us the huge power of the king.
