The book ""The Sanctuaries and Sanctuary Seekers of Medieval England"" by J. Charles Cox is a comprehensive study of the concept of sanctuary in medieval England. The author explores the various sanctuaries that existed in England during the Middle Ages, including those associated with churches, abbeys, and other religious institutions. He also examines the legal and social implications of seeking sanctuary, as well as the reasons why people sought sanctuary in the first place.The book is divided into several chapters, each of which focuses on a different aspect of sanctuary. The first chapter provides an overview of the history of sanctuary in England, tracing its origins back to the Anglo-Saxon period. The following chapters explore the different types of sanctuaries that existed, such as those associated with cathedrals, monasteries, and hospitals.The author also examines the legal framework surrounding sanctuary, including the rights and responsibilities of sanctuary seekers and the authorities responsible for maintaining sanctuaries. He discusses the role of the church in providing sanctuary and the tensions that sometimes arose between church and state over this issue.Throughout the book, the author provides numerous examples of individuals who sought sanctuary and the reasons why they did so. These include criminals seeking to avoid punishment, debtors seeking relief from their creditors, and victims of violence seeking protection from their attackers.Overall, ""The Sanctuaries and Sanctuary Seekers of Medieval England"" provides a fascinating insight into a little-known aspect of medieval English society. It is an essential read for anyone interested in the history of law, religion, and social justice in England during the Middle Ages.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
