R.C. Van Caenegem is one of the few legal historians to have crossed national boundaries successfully. His knowledge of the various codes and customs of the European Continent in general and the Low Countries in particular enables him to bring a fresh eye to the English Common law. Four of these nine essays have not been published in English before.

Public prosecution of crime in 12th-c. England;
Criminal law in England & Flanders under Henry II & Philip of ALsace;
Borough charter of St-Omer of 1127;

Law in the medieval world;
Place of the Low Countries in European legal history;
English common law seen from the European continent;
