In particular, he reveals key aspects of their private lives: from personal details and individual characteristics, their religious beliefs and the nature of their marriages and alliances to where they lived, what they built and how they conducted themselves in society. By providing an historical reconstruction of the social milieu and ethos of the whole spectrum of 'men of law', from senior judges and specialist pleaders to locally-focused practitioners based in the provinces, this book emphasizes the social and cultural impact of the legal profession on medieval and early Tudor England.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cb\u003eAnthony Musson\u003c\/b\u003e is Head of Research at Historic Royal Palaces and is leading the AHRC-funded project 'Henry VIII on Tour: Landscape, Communities and Performance'.
