To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:

William the Conqueror had employed this institu- tion in collecting the necessary information for his Domes- day Book, and some further use of it for administrative or even judicial purposes had been made by the other kings before Henry II. But it was he who first made systematic and steady use of it. He had inquests made about this, that, and everything — an inquest of sheriffs, inquiries as to the keepers of castles, inquiry into feudal aids for marrying his daughter, inquiry as to the state ...of repair of buildings on the royal demesne.
Henry introduced the sworn inquest in both civil and criminal cases. He decreed that certain suits concerning the ownership or possession of land should be settled Trial by in his courts by the sworn testimony of twelve ^"""^ knights or freeholders of the neighborhood. By 1300 this method had become "part of the normal procedure in almost every kind of civil action." At first those men were selected who were most likely to know the facts of the case, and they were put upon their oath to tell what they knew.
