Claire Chats – Law in Medieval and Tudor England

In this week's Claire Chats, I look at how the legal system worked in the medieval period before looking at the legal machinery that was used in the cases of Queen Anne Boleyn and the five men implicated in her fall in May 1536.

I highly recommend Ian Mortimer's book "The Time Traveller's Guide to Medieval England" and also Toni Mount's excellent online history course "England’s Crime and Punishment through the Ages" which goes from justice in the 7th century all the way to prison reformers of the 19th century - see https://medievalcourses.com/overview/
