"This book examines one of the most fundamental issues in twelfth-century English politics: justice. It demonstrates that during the foundational period for the common law, the question of judgement and judicial ethics was a topic of heated debate-- a common problem with multiple different answers. How to be a judge, and how to judge well, was a concern shared by humble and high, keeping both kings and parish priests awake at night. Using theological texts, sermons, legal treatises and letter collections, the book explores how moralists attempted to provide guidance for uncertain judges. It argues that mercy was always the most difficult challenge for a judge, fitting uncomfortably within the law and of disputed value. Shining a new light on English legal history, Justice and Mercy reveals the moral dilemmas created by the establishment of the common law"--.

This scholarly volume explores the economic, political, and cultural dimensions of maritime exchange in the Norman worlds during the Middle Ages. Edited by Philippa Byrne and Caitlin Ellis, the book examines various aspects of Norman influence across different regions, including the Norman Conquest, the Norman diaspora, and the interactions between Normans and other cultures, such as the Byzantine Empire. The book highlights the importance of maritime routes and alliances, such as the one between Norman Sicily and the Kingdom of Jerusalem, in shaping the geopolitical landscape of the time. Aimed at historians and scholars of medieval studies, the text provides insights into the transcultural maritime networks that facilitated the flow of ideas, goods, and people across medieval Europe and beyond.
