An exhibition for Learning Curve from The National Archives (UK). There are 12 galleries on this site covering the Middle Ages to the 20th Century. 3 galleries look at the period before 1450, examining questions such as: were the Middle Ages lawless and violent, who was responsible for crime prevention in medieval England, and what were the purposes of punishments given by the courts in the Middle Ages. "Within each gallery there are case studies using original documents with transcripts."
