Item description from seller

Print on Demand. This book delves into the fascinating legal system of the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem, a Crusader state established in the 11th century. Known as the "Assizes of Jerusalem," this code of laws governed both feudal and common law matters, offering a unique window into medieval legal thought and practice. While often mistakenly attributed to Godfrey de Bouillon, the Assizes were actually compiled in the 13th century by jurists like John of Ibelin and Philippe de Navarre. The text sheds light on the intricacies of feudal relationships, emphasizing the rights of vassals towards their lords. It also covers a wide range of civil law topics, including contracts, marriage, and property. The Assizes of Jerusalem stand out for their detailed descriptions of legal procedures and the role of evidence in court proceedings. Notably, they offer valuable insights into the practice of trial by combat, a common method of dispute resolution in the medieval period. By exploring the Assizes, this book illuminates a crucial aspect of the Crusader era, showcasing the complex legal framework that shaped life in the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem. 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.
