	Henry De Bracton - LoveToKnow 1911
		It is only after his death that his name appears as "Bracton." He seems to have entered the king's service as a clerk under the patronage of William Raleigh, who after long service as a royal justice died bishop of Winchester in 1250.
		Bracton begins to appear as a justice in 1245, and from 1248 until his death in 1268 he was steadily employed as a justice of assize in the southwestern counties, especially Somerset, Devon and Cornwall.
		During the earlier part of this period he was also sitting as a judge in the king's central court, and was there hearing those pleas which "followed the king"; in other words, he was a member of that section of the central tribunal which was soon to be distinguished as the king's bench.

	Henry de Bracton Biography \| Encyclopedia of World Biography
		Bracton was made an itinerant judge in 1245 and from 1247 to 1250 he was an English judge of the Coram Rege ("Before the Monarch").
		Bracton is credited with producing a long treatise on English jurisprudence, De Legibus et Consuetudinibus Angliae, "On the Laws and Customs of England." Written in Latin, it is considered one of the oldest systematic dissertations on English common law.
		Bracton was buried before an altar in Exeter cathedral at which he had founded a perpetual endowment for his soul.

	Henry de Bracton
		To come to his laborious and distinguished career, it is said that Bratton in his youth was a student at the University of Oxford, where he is further alleged to have taken the degree of doctor of civil and canon law but this, though indeed possible, is altogether lacking of proof.
		It is in 1245 that we first find him acting in a judicial capacity, and from that year onward we continually meet with him either as a justice in Eyre (especially in his native Devon and other neighbouring counties) or as holding please before the king himself, until the end of the year 1267.
		Of Bratton's great and comprehensive treatise "De Legibus", etc., written before 1259, the first printed edition was published in 1569 in folio, and reprinted in quarto in 1640.

	Henry de Bracton
		He continued to take the assizes in the southwest, and in 1267 he was a member of a commission of prelates, barons and judges appointed to hear the complaints of the disinherited partisans of Simon de Montfort.
		He died in 1268 and was buried in the nave of Exeter cathedral, and a chantry for his soul was endowed out of the revenues of the manor of Thorverton.
		His fame is due to a treatise on the laws and customs of England, De legibus et consuetudinibus Angliae, "On the Laws and Customs of England." The main part of it seems to have been compiled between 1250 and 1256; but apparently it is an unfinished work.

	26. Bracton on the Relation between Custom and Written Law
		Henry of Bracton was an English judge of the court known as coram rege (later King's Bench) from 1247-50 and again from 1253-57.
		Bracton's chief claim to fame is his association with the long treatise On the Laws and Customs of England, which F.W. Maitland described as "the crown and flower of English jurisprudence." The work attempts to describe rationally the whole of English law, a task that was not again undertaken until Blackstone in the eighteenth century.

		The law of England, even under the Anglo-Saxon line of princes, took severe and exemplary notice of defamation, as an offence against the public peace, and in the time of Henry III., Bracton adopted the language of the Institutes of Justinian, and held slander and libellous writings to be actionable injuries.
		But the first private suit for slanderous words to be met with in the English law, was in the reign of Edward III., and for the high offence of charging another with a crime which endangered his life.
		The mischiefs of licensed abuse were felt to be so extensive, and so incompatible with the preservation of peace, that several acts of parliament, known as the statutes de scandalis magnatum, were passed to suppress and punish the propagation of false and malicious slander.

	THE SECOND AMENDMENT: A GUARD FOR OUR FUTURE SECURITY
		As early as 690 A.D., English law required Englishmen to possess arms for military service and for assisting in local police services, such as protecting the villages and pursuing criminals.[5] As this obligation continued through the centuries, Englishmen began to recognize the value of and the need for individual gun ownership.
		In the thirteenth century, Henry de Bracton, called the progenitor of modern Anglo-American legal culture,[6] wrote about the important relationship between arms and the preservation of laws.
		As an example of this belief, Bracton stated concerning unjust rulers, "let each one [ruler or judge] take care for himself lest, by judging perversely and against laws.
