Mediaeval law

Medieval law was a system of legal principles and regulations that governed society during the Middle Ages. It combined local customs, church rules, and evolving royal statutes, often varying by region. Laws addressed issues like property rights, feudal obligations, and justice for conflicts. Enforcement was often carried out by local lords, courts, or church authorities. Over time, medieval law laid the groundwork for modern legal systems, blending religious influence with secular authority to maintain social order and resolve disputes.
