What does this document reveal about medieval society? What you have before you is an excerpt from a medieval manor court, a court of law convened by a local lord to dispense with local legal issues--although rarely did those issues involve criminal matters. What appears to be a relatively simple document, a court record, can actually be used to understand some aspects of medieval life. Much as you did when examining early Russian society with the Russian Primary Chronicle, this assignment requires you to see early medieval society through a surviving court record. Again, there are no absolute rights or wrongs of what I am looking for in this assignment; but there are a variety of valid conclusions that you can reach from this short document. For example, I already mentioned the fact that just the existence of the word "Lawday" in the document reveals much about medieval society. When you compose your paragraph, please remember to include quoted, direct evidence as support for the conclusions that you reach.
