you’re overcome by the sheer horror of c.16 of the 1st Statute of Westminster (3 Edw 1) 😳.
@bookhistodons @medievodons

The lower half of a leaf in a medieval manuscript: folio 16 recto in Cambridge, University Library, manuscript Additional 732. Visible are 13 lines of medieval Law French copied in dark brown ink in a slightly rushed-looking hand. The text has been copied on indifferent parchment, and is punctuated with pilcrows, paragraph symbols, in red and blue (though only 1 red example is shown here). In the margin at right an early hand has added a note indicating c.16, highlighted with a blue pilcrow. Immediately above looms the head of a red-haired and red-bearded man wearing a lawyer’s coif. He gazes towards the text, eyes wide and round with alarm or even terror.
