Star Chamber Matters

Star Chamber was an extraordinary court which came into its own over the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries. This volume explores the history of an age through both the practices of its courts and the disputes of the people who came before them. With Star Chamber, we view a court that came of age in an era of social, legal, religious, and political transformation, and one that left an exceptional wealth of documentation, producing records that make its archive invaluable to many researchers today.
