"This welcome book may be likened to one of those admirable chamber ensembles that perfom music without conductor." Thomas N. Bisson, Speculum
"This collection of essays on a single theme by Britain's leading early medievalists is a rich and ambitious book. Like the rich, it exudes quality, elegance, and confidence, and like the ambitious, it applies considerable energy to hug tasks." Richard Gerberding, The American Journal of Legal History
