| | CATHOLIC ENCYCLOPEDIA: England (Before the Reformation) |
 | | In cases when the pall was brought to England instead of being conferred at the papal court, archbishops like St. Anselm and Ralph d'Escures went to meet it bare foot. | | | Gregory, however, seems at the same time to have called upon the King of England to do homage for his kingdom, regarding the payment of Romescot as an acknowledgment of vassalage, as in some cases, e.g. | | | Thus understood, England (taken at the same time as including the Principality of Wales) is all that part of the Island of Great Britain which lies south of the Solway Firth, the River Liddell, the Cheviot Hills, and the River Tweed; its area is 57,668 square miles, i.e. |

| | For the history of England after that date, see History of the United Kingdom. | | | Since the promulgation of the 1284 Statute of Rhuddlan and the Acts of Union 1536-1543, Wales has shared a legal identity with England as the joint entity of England and Wales. | | | However, it is quite commonplace to hear inhabitants of England refer to themselves as "British" rather than "English"; centuries of English dominance within the United Kingdom has created a situation where to be English is, as a linguist would put it, an "unmarked" state, (i.e. |

| | Forfeiture in England and Colonial America |
| | The history of benefit of clergy in England is not easy to trace because the direction of its development was neither one simply of gradual expansion nor gradual limitation of its usage. | | | One reason was that in seventeenth century England, different legal problems came within the jurisdiction of various courts. | | | In fact, its history runs along two lines: the progressive enlargement of the classes of people who might claim it, paralleled (with some fluctuations) by the reduction of the number of offenses for which it might be claimed [Dalzell, 1955:15]. |

| | Colonial New Jersey |
| | The first settlements in New Jersey were made by the Dutch along the western bank of the Hudson, with one on the Delaware at Fort Nassau; but these settlements were insignificant, and the history of the colony properly begins with the occupation of the territory by the English. | | | When James II became king of England he demanded the charters of the Jerseys on writes of quo warranto, leaving the ownership of the soil to the people, and united East and West Jersey to New York and New England under the government of Andros. | | | Queen Anne, who was now the reigning monarch, extended the jurisdiction of New York's governor over New Jersey, and this arrangement continued for thirty-six years, when in 1738, the two colonies were finally separated. |

| | Both arguments are suspect, the first because in 1643 the author in England was not entitled to copyright, which had been developed by, for, and limited to printers and publishers, the second because the subject of the litigation in Texaco was articles in learned journals, the authors of which, as is customary, received no compensation. | | | Their argument was that the common-law copyright, clearly a product of natural law, was the source of the statutory copyright and therefore that the statutory copyright was merely the securing of a natural-law right. | | | The idea that copyrightists use to demean the public interest in copyright law-- that the raison d'etre of copyright is to induce authors to create works--is a stale fiction that has been used for centuries by publishers in their lobbying efforts in legislative bodies and litigation efforts in courts. |

| | In this module in the social history of early modern England, we will seek to discover what the people believed and how orthodoxy and heterodoxy were defined. | | | The history of the French kingdom from 1285 to 1461 is traditionally seen as a period in which the royal `state', firmly established under the last Capetians, was weakened by war, socio-economic change and the divided loyalties of its subjects before reasserting itself as the focal point of a French nation under later Valois kings. | | | This course examines the interaction between the Gaelic world on the one hand, and attempts at British state formation on the other, in the era between the union of the crowns of Scotland and England in 1603, and the aftermath of the Jacobite rising of 1745. |

| | Accordingly, the first copyright law of 1476, the year William Caxton introduced the printing press in England, was a licensing law requiring printers to inscribe their name, location and titles of works they wanted to print on a register. | | | The first reported case of copyright infringement in the English-speaking world occurred in 567 of the Common Era. | | | Funding the monarch through grants of monopolies was a contributing factor to the English Civil War (1642-1649) that culminated in the beheading of King Charles I to be followed by Cromwell’s ‘puritanical’ Commonwealth (1649-1660). |

| | The history of modern liquor licensing begins in 1828 with Thomas Estcourt's Alehouse Act, which was meant to consolidate all of the disparate licensing statutes of the previous 300 years. | | | The history of licensing legislation for the next 80 years would be largely a series of attempts to control this tidal wave of beerhouses, created by the Wellington Government, and to lessen some of the evils that arose from it. | | | Licensing magistrates wielded their new powers vigorously: between 1871 and 1881 7,500 beerhouses in England and Wales were closed, more than one in six of the total. |
