"Although it has a rich historiography, and from the late ninth century is rich in textual evidence, northern Iberia has barely featured in the great debates of early medieval European history of recent generations. Lying beyond the Frankish world, in a peninsula more than half controlled by Muslims, Spanish and Portuguese experience has seemed irrelevant to the Carolingian Empire and the political fragmentation (or realignment) that followed it. But Spain and Portugal shared the late Roman heritage which influenced much of Western Europe in the early Middle Ages and by the tenth century political practice in the Christian North had plenty of features in common with parts to the east"--Provided by publisher.

Les ordalies, ou jugements de Dieu, sont des épreuves qui passent pour irrationnelles à nos yeux contemporains. Elles sont considérées comme l'un des traits les plus archaïques de la justice du Moyen Âge. Leur interdiction par le pape Innocent III en 1215 est-elle le signe d'une évolution vers la modernité ? La coïncidence de cette date avec l'essor des enquêtes dont, par certains traits, notre justice actuelle a hérité, pourrait le laisser penser. Pourtant, pour qui observe le temps des ordalies, dont le démarrage commence vraiment sous le règne de Charlemagne, l'irrationalité de ces épreuves ne va pas de soi. Ni leur essor ni leur interdiction ne sont spontanés. L'un comme l'autre résultent de choix volontaires des autorités politiques et religieuses. Pourquoi les souverains carolingiens ont-ils soudain encouragé les ordalies ? L'Église a-t-elle eu une attitude unanime vis-à-vis des jugements de Dieu ? Pourquoi certains homme d'Église ont-ils dénoncé des manipulations ? Quel rôle les évêques ont-ils joué au sein de leurs diocèses ? Comment la population réagissait-elle ? Pourquoi le pape Innocent III a-t-il pris la décision d'interdire les ordalies après des décennies d'hésitations de la part des autorités ecclésiastiques ? Telles sont les principales questions abordées dans ce livre où l'on verra que le choix de s'en remettre au jugement de Dieu était moins irrationnel qu'il y paraît.

In Order in the Court , Brasington translates and comments upon the earliest medieval treatises on ecclesiastical legal procedure. Beginning with the eleventh-century “Marturi Case,” the first citation of the Digest in court since late antiquity and the jurist Bulgarus’ letter to Haimeric, the papal chancellor, we witness the evolution of Roman-law procedure in Italy. The study then focusses on Anglo-Norman works, all from the second half of the twelfth century. The De edendo , the Practica legum of Bishop William of Longchamp, and the Ordo Bambergensis blend Roman and canon law to guide the judge, advocate, and litigant in court. These reveal the study and practice of the learned law during the turbulent “Age of Becket” and its aftermath.
