The opening of the treatise introduces Ranulph de Glanville as a notable legal authority of his time, providing a brief biography that highlights his significant roles, including his military leadership and judicial positions. It discusses the treatise's purpose, which is to organize and clarify the law as it was practiced in the King's Court, showcasing a system of justice influenced by both ancient customs and royal authority.
