Henry de Bracton, (abt. 1210-abt. 1268), born either at Bratton Fleming or Bratton Clovelly, was a medieval jurist and priest whose masterful treatise on Common Law and procedure provided a framework for the early English legal system. His famous De legibus et consuetudinibus Angliae (On the laws and customs of England) was a systematic explanation of English Law for judges and practitioners during the reign of King Henry III. De legibus and another of his works, Note-Book, helped shape the system of case law and pleadings that began during the reign of Henry III. Historians consider De legibus the high point of medieval legal scholarship. Google with the Archive Organization has sponsored the digitisation of books from several libraries.
