Seeking Sanctuary: Crime, Mercy, and Politics in English Courts, 1400-1550
McSheffrey, Shannon (Professor of History, Professor of History, Concordia University)
In premodern English law, felons had the right to seek sanctuary in a church or ecclesiastical precinct. It is commonly held that this practice virtually died out after the medieval period, but Shannon McSheffrey highlights its resurgence under the Tudor regime and shows how the issue lay at the intersection between law, religion, and culture.
