Tavern Brawls, Civil Wars, and Remedies for Tyranny
View through CrossRef
One form of sanctuary, forty-day refuge in a parish church followed by ‘abjuration of the realm’, going into exile, had been part of English law from around 1200. Around 1400 chartered sanctuary, a new form of refuge, appeared in England: felons fleeing to certain abbeys or collegiate churches were permitted to stay indefinitely, a privilege that developed out of a synthesis of those churches’ jurisdictional rights (especially sheltering of debtors) with the general concept of sanctuary. This chapter discusses the patterns in the hard data for sanctuary-seeking of all kinds (more than 1800 cases from 1400 to 1550) and the early development of chartered sanctuary. Particularly important in cementing this new privilege was England’s experience during the civil wars of the second half of the century, during which sanctuary served both literally and figuratively as a refuge from tyranny.
