"Extracts Relating to Mediaeval Markets and Fairs in England" by Helen Douglas-Irvine is a historical account published in the early 20th century. The book provides a detailed exploration of the evolution, significance, and regulation of markets and fairs in medieval England, delving into their socio-economic impact on society during that era. The content of the book features a variety of extracts and original documents that illuminate the customs, regulations, and practices surrounding markets and fairs from the Anglo-Saxon period through to the late medieval times. It discusses the significance of market rights granted by kings, the establishment of specific market locations, and the privileges awarded to merchants. Additionally, the book examines various aspects of market life, including the enforcement of trade laws, the role of foreign merchants, and the decline of traditional fair practices as they transformed into places of entertainment in later centuries. Through this compilation, readers receive an informed perspective on how these economic institutions shaped the fabric of medieval English life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
