The Blackfriars, named for their customary black mantle and hood, were an order of mendicant friars founded by St. Dominic in France in 1216 (Dominican Order). Intent on spreading Catholicism, St. Dominic sent members of his order to England, where, no later than 1247, the order had bases in Oxford and London (Jarrett 2-3).

Queen Mary I repealed this act in 1555. In 1559, as part of what is now known as the Elizabethan Religious Settlement, parliament restored the act and made Queen Elizabeth I Supreme Governor of the Church of England, a role still held by the British monarch today. The Church of England has been the official Christian church in England since 1559.

Court of Aldermen

The Court of Aldermen was composed of senior officials known as aldermen, who were each elected to represent one ward of London. The Mayor of London oversaw the Court of Aldermen and was himself an alderman. Historically, the Court of Aldermen was the primary administrative body for the Corporation of London; however, by the early modern period, many of its responsibilities had been transferred to the Court of Common Council. The Court of Aldermen exists today in a somewhat modified form.
Court of Arches

The Court of Arches was the highest court of appeal for ecclesiastical matters in the province of Canterbury and fell under the jurisdiction of the archbishop of Canterbury (Noorthuock 579-587). The Court of Arches was named after its location in St. Mary Le Bow, which was built over arches (Baker 136). After the Great Fire of 1666, the Court of Arches often met at the Doctors’ Commons, Knightrider Street (Keene and Harding 199-212). For an accessible overview, see Wikipedia.

The Court of Common Council was comprised of men elected from each ward. It was distinct from the Court of Aldermen.
Court of Husting

According to John Stow, the Court of Husting was located in the Guildhall (Stow 1633, sig. F6r). The word, husting, comes from the Icelandic, hus-ping, meaning a court or council held in a house, a description meant to contrast courts that were held in the open air (Harben). At one time, the Court of Husting was the sole court for the settlement of disputes between citizens of London, evidenced by it being called the Husting of London of the Common Pleas in 1305 (Harben). The court’s specific purview was the enrolment of deeds and wills relating to the property of the citizens (Harben).
Court of King’s Bench

The Court of King’s Bench was the senior court of English common law. Originally, it travelled with the King. From 1318 to 1882, it met at the south end of Westminster Hall (Baker 42). For an accessible overview, see Wikipedia. The records surviving from King’s Bench cases are held at the National Archives.
Courts of Pie Poudre

Also known as courts of pie powder, courts of pie poudre settled disputes that occurred during fairs and markets (Halsbury 678). Stanley Giffard Halsbury notes that [t]hese courts, which are courts of record, had jurisdiction to decide as to all manner of contracts, trespasses, covenants, and debts done within the time of fairs or markets and within their precincts (Halsbury 678). For an accessible overview, see Wikipedia.
Crossed Friars (Bretheren of the Holy Cross)

The Bretheren of the Holy Cross, also known as the Crossed Friars, Crutched Friars, or Crouched Friars, were an order of preaching canons who were commonly assumed to be friars in late-medieval and early modern England. Arriving in England in the mid-thirteenth century, the Crossed Friars occupied a site on Hart Street from the 1260s until King Henry VIII’s Dissolution of the Monasteries in 1538.

The Doctors’ Commons was a group of men from the universities of Oxford and Cambridge who practiced civil law (Baker 180). G.R. Elton claims that this society was formed in 1511 and was modelled after the Inns of Court (Elton 155). Sir John Baker claims that this society was already established in the fifteenth century by the doctors of the Arches (Baker 180). Encyclopaedia Britannica states that the society leased a building near Paternoster Row from 1565 until their dissolution in the nineteenth century; however, most scholars agree that the Doctors’ Commons moved from their Paternoster Row location to a building in Knightrider Street early in Elizabeth I’s reign (Doctors’ Commons; Thornbury; Harben). A motion to dissolve the Doctors’ Commons was put forth in 1858 and by 1865 they had sold both their library and building (Baker 181). Most of the records surviving from the Doctors’ Commons are housed at the Lambeth Palace Library. For an accessible overview, see Wikipedia.

The Fraternity of Taylors and Linen Armourers of St. John the Baptist was the precursor of the Merchant Taylors’ Company.
Fraternity of the Trinity

The Fraternity of the Trinity was, according to Stow, established in 1466 under King Edward IV. A History of the Country of London contends that the fraternity was founded at the request of Elizabeth Woodville and must have been already in existence in 1422, prior to its association with Leadenhall. From 1466, the Fraternity of the Trinity was in order in Leadenhall until the brief reign of King Edward VI when, under the counsel of Thomas Cranmer, the King signed the Abolition of the Chantries Act in 1547 (Colleges: Fraternity of the Holy Trinity).

In the reign of Henry VIII, England’s admiralty courts were combined into the High Court of Admiralty (Elton 155). The High Court of Admiralty presided over cases that occurred out at sea (Baker 132). Although most courts in England practiced common law, the High Court of Admiralty used a form of civil law based on the universal law of the sea (Baker 132). For an accessible overview, see Wikipedia. Records surviving from the High Court of Admiralty are held at the National Archives.

  We’d also like to acknowledge students who contributed to MoEML’s intranet predecessor at the University of Windsor between 1999 and 2003. When we redeveloped MoEML for the Internet in 2006, we were not able to include all of the student projects that had been written for courses in Shakespeare, Renaissance Drama, and/or Writing Hypertext. Nonetheless, these students contributed materially to the conceptual development of the project.
