ADDITIONAL STUDIES.

BY G. LEFEBVRE.


THE TRANSFORMATIONS OF THE "CURIA REGIS" AT THE
END OF THE MIDDLE AGES.

INTRODUCTION.
As early as 1894, in his Etude sur la vie et le règne de
Louis VIII, 1 M. Ch. Petit-Dutaillis showed
that Stubbs' views on the constitutional
evolution of England had grown out-of-
date. This observation has since been
confirmed by the remarkable studies of Messrs. G. B.

tional history

Charter", ( Studies and Notes Supplementary, i, p. 127). Since then
the most notable works published have been: -- Magna Carta: Com-
memoration Essays, edited by E. Malden, London, (Royal Hist. Soc.,
1917): (studies by Messrs. W. S. McKeehnie, J. H. Round, P.
Vinogradoff, F. M. Powicke, H. Jenkinson, C. H. MacIlwain, G. B.
Adams, R. Altamira; Messrs. Vinogradoff and Powicke examine anew
the meaning of article 39, "Nullus capiatur liber honio"; G. B. Adams,
the attitude of Innocent III regarding the Great Charter. Cf. the
observations of J. Tait, E. H. R., 1918); two notes by A. B. White on
the name of the Charter (the epithet Great was attributed to it to
distinguish it from the Charter of the Forest) in E. H. R.; 1915, p. 472,
and 1917, p. 554; Fox, The Originals of the Great Charter, E. H. R.,
1924; Miss Faith Thompson, The first century of Magna Carta,
Minnesota U. P., 1925; articles by M. Leclère in the Revue de l'Univ. de
Bruxelles, 1913 and in Mélanges d'Histoire offerts à Henri Pirenne,
1926, t. i, p. 279 sqq. In the works cited below (notes 2 and 3), Messrs.
Adams and MacIlwain adopted the "feudal" interpretation of the
Charter, formulated in 1907, by M. Petit-Dutaillis, who accepted the
views set out by Mr. McKechnie in Magna Carta, 1905, ( 2nd edit.,
1914).
