520 1 $a"This is a study of marriage litigation (with some reference to sexual offenses) in the archiepiscopal court of York )1300-1500) and the episcopal courts of Ely (1374-1381), Paris (1384-1387), Cambrai (1438-1453), and Brussels (1448-1459). All these courts were, for the most part, correctly applying the late medieval canon law of marriage, but statistical analysis of the cases and results confirms that there were substantial differences in both the types of cases the courts heard and the results they reached." "Marriages in England in the later Middle Ages, the book argues, were more often under the control of the parties to the marriage, whereas those in northern France and the southern Netherlands were more often under the control of the parties' families and social superiors. Within this broad generalization the book brings to light patterns of late medieval men and women manipulating each other and the courts to produce extraordinarily varied results."--BOOK JACKET.
