Kings, Barons and Justices: The Making and Enforcement of Legislation in Thirteenth-Century England
This book consists of a study of two important and related pieces of thirteenth-century English legislation--the Provisions of Westminster of 1259 and the Statute of Marlborough of 1267. In establishing the political and legal context of these statutes and examining the process of drafting them, the volume utilizes an exceptionally wide range of manuscript sources. Revealing how the legislation was used and interpreted up to 1307, it is the first major work on any of the statutes in this period of major legislative change.

Praise for this book
"This book provides a detailed reconstruction of the enactment and enforcement of the two most important English statutes enacted during the reign of Henry III (1216-72): the Provisions of Westminster (1259) and the Statute of Marlborough (1267)." Albion, R. H. Helmholz
"Brand's book shows why no one before him has given this legislation the attention that it deserves. To do what he has done requires a mastery of a formidable range of unplublished sources." - Charles Donahue, Jr., Harvard University
