Before its demise, the court heard a wide range of disputes in cases framed as fraud, libel, riot, and more. In so doing, it produced records of a sort that make its archive invaluable to many researchers today for insights into both the ordinary and extraordinary. The chapters gathered here explore what we can learn about the history of an age through both the practices of its courts and the disputes of the people who came before them. With Star Chamber, we view a court that came of age in an era of social, legal, religious, and political transformation, and one that left an exceptional wealth of documentation that will repay further study. 517 $aStar Chamber Matters 606 $aLegal history$2bicssc 607 $aGreat Britain$xHistory$yHenry VIII, 1509-1547$2nli 610 $aTudor Britain 610 $alegal history 610 $acourts 610 $amedieval marriage 610 $amedieval women 610 $arape 610 $aconsent 610 $amedieval libel 610 $aSir Edward Coke 610 $amedieval judge 610 $aJacobean law 610 $apopular legalism 610 $amarine insurance 610 $afraud 610 $aLondon history 610 $aWestminster 615 7$aLegal history 676 $a942.052 700 $aKesselring$b K.
