The Common Law of Kent, or the Customs of Gavelkind (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book delves into the unique legal system of gavelkind, a system of land inheritance that prevailed in the county of Kent, England, for centuries. The author meticulously explores the origins and development of this custom, examining its roots in Anglo-Saxon law and tracing its evolution through the Norman Conquest and subsequent periods of English legal history. While gavelkind is a local custom, the book demonstrates its significance in the broader context of English land law, as it stands in contrast to the more widely adopted system of primogeniture, which favors the eldest son as heir. The author meticulously analyzes the etymology of the term "gavelkind" and explores its various meanings, delving into the different ways it has been used to describe both the tenure of land and the associated customs. The book also investigates the manner in which gavelkind was pleaded in legal cases, highlighting the specific procedures and legal terminology employed. The author then meticulously examines the specific customs associated with gavelkind lands, including tenancy by the curtesy, dower rights, and the custom of wardship for infant heirs. These special customs, the book argues, are distinct from the general principle of partibility that defines gavelkind. The author provides a wealth of historical evidence, including numerous citations from ancient records, to support the book's arguments. This careful and thorough approach makes the book a valuable resource for anyone interested in the history of English law, the development of legal systems, or the unique and enduring legacy of gavelkind in the county of Kent. This book is a reproduction of an important historical work, digitally reconstructed using state-of-the-art technology to preserve the original format. In rare cases, an imperfection in the original, such as a blemish or missing page, may be replicated in the book. print-on-demand item. Seller Inventory # 9781332114979_0
