OxTalks will soon be transitioning to Oxford Events (full details are available on the Staff Gateway). A two-week publishing freeze is expected in early Hilary to allow all events to be migrated to the new platform. During this period, you will not be able to submit or edit events on OxTalks. The exact freeze dates will be confirmed as soon as possible.

This lecture considers how far legal change was a matter of policy, how far it was the unintended outcome of limited innovations. It raises issues concerning competition between different models of lordship and landholding and revisits the notion of an ‘anti-feudal’ policy. It thereby reflects upon the arguments of Maitland and of S.F.C. Milsom.
