Leges Henrici Primi
The ''Leges Henrici Primi'' or ''Laws of Henry I'' is a legal treatise, written in about 1115, that records the legal customs of medieval England in the reign of King Henry I of England. Although it is not an official document, it was written by someone apparently associated with the royal administration. It lists and explains the laws, and includes explanations of how to conduct legal proceedings. Although its title implies that these laws were issued by King Henry, it lists laws issued by earlier monarchs that were still in force in Henry's reign; the only law of Henry that is included is the coronation charter he issued at the start of his reign. It covers a diverse range of subjects, including ecclesiastical cases, treason, murder, theft, feuds, assessment of danegeld, and the amounts of judicial fines.
The work survives in six manuscripts that range in date from about 1200 to around 1330, belonging to two different manuscript traditions. Besides the six surviving manuscripts, three others were known to scholars in the 17th and 18th centuries, but have not survived to the present day. Two other separate copies may also have existed. The complete work itself was first printed in 1644, but an earlier partial edition appeared in 1628. The ''Leges'' is the first legal treatise in English history, and has been credited with having the greatest effect on the views of English law before the reign of King Henry II than any other work of its kind.
==Background and similar works==
The ''Leges Henrici Primi'' or ''Laws of Henry I'' is not merely a compilation of laws but an integrated legal treatise, the first such in the history of England, written in the Latin language about 1115. It records the legal customs of medieval England.〔Huscroft ''Ruling England'' p. 38〕〔Huscroft ''Ruling England'' pp. 113–114〕 It was part of a small group of similar writings devoted to legal procedures that were written for royal administrators. Besides the ''Leges'', other works of this type produced at this time were the ''Quadripartitus'', parts of the ''Leges Edwardi Regis'', the ''Instituta Cnuti'', and the ''Consiliatio Cnuti''. It is possible the ''Leges Willhelmi'' was also written during this time period.〔Warren ''Governance'' p. 72〕 It is the longest of the legal tracts from its time, and made some effort to be comprehensive.〔
