Description

Thomas Green examines the Scottish Reformation from a new perspective - the legal system and lawyers.

For the leading lawyers of the day, the Scottish Reformation presented a constitutional and jurisdictional crisis of the first order.

In the face of such a challenge moderate judges, lawyers and officers of state sought to restore order in a time of revolution by retaining much of the medieval legacy of Catholic law and order in Scotland.

Green covers the Wars of the Congregation, the Reformation Parliament, the legitimacy of the Scottish government from 1558 to 1561, the courts of the early Church of Scotland and the legal significance of Mary Stewart's personal reign.

He also considers neglected aspects of the Reformation, including the roles of the Court of Session and of the Court of the Commissaries of Edinburgh.
