The best general accounts of constitutional and legal matters are
those of Stubbs, _Constitutional History of England_, I (last
edition, Oxford, 1903), corrected by various special studies of
J. H. Round, to be found chiefly in his _Feudal England_ (London,
1895; reprinted, 1909) and _Commune of London_ (Westminster, 1899);
and by Pollock and Maitland, _History of English Law_ (second
edition, London, 1898). The results of recent investigation are
incorporated in the studies and notes appended to the French
translation of Stubbs by Petit-Dutaillis (Paris, 1907); this
supplementary material is translated into English by W. E. Rhodes
(Manchester, 1911). There are admirable studies of the chancery
in L. Delisle. _Recueil des actes de Henri II concernant les
provinces françaises et les affaires de France_, introduction
(Paris, 1909); and of the exchequer in R. L. Poole, _The Exchequer
in the Twelfth Century_ (Oxford, 1912). See also Hubert Hall,
_Court Life under the Plantagenets_ (London, 1890; reprinted,
1902). For the more distinctively Norman side of the government
see Haskins, “The Government of Normandy under Henry II,” in
_American Historical Review_, XX, pp. 24–42, 277–91 (1914–15);
and earlier papers on “The Early Norman Jury,” _ibid._, VIII, pp.
613–40 (1903); “The Administration of Normandy under Henry I,” in
_English Historical Review_, XXIV, pp. 209–31 (1909); “Normandy
under Geoffrey Plantagenet,” _ibid._, XXVII, pp. 417–44 (1912);
Delisle, _Des revenus publics en Normandie au XII^e siècle_, in
_Bibliothèque de l’École des Chartes_, X-XIII (1848–52); Valin,
_Le duc de Normandie et sa cour_, supplemented by R. de Fréville,
“Étude sur l’organisation judiciaire en Normandie aux XII^e et
XIII^e siècles,” in _Nouvelle Revue historique de droit_, 1912, pp.
681–736. The best general account of Norman law is still that of H.
Brunner, _Die Entstehung der Schwurgerichte_ (Berlin, 1872).
