Explanation

This exam-style task requires a developed historical argument rather than a list of facts. Begin with the relevant period from Paper 2 Section B: British depth studies including the historic environment, then anchor the answer in Part two: Life in Medieval England. The evidence should connect to Study development of the legal system, including laws, courts, trials, crimes, criminals, punishments and Statutes of Gloucester 1278 and Winchester 1285 and be explained through cause, consequence, change, continuity, significance or interpretation as appropriate. A strong final judgement shows why the selected evidence is more convincing than a vague or unsupported claim.

A common mistake is to write about legal as a general opinion, or to mix up cause, consequence, change and continuity in 1272-1307.

Anchor the answer to Part two: Life in Medieval England, use precise evidence, and state whether legal is a cause, consequence, change, continuity or significant development.
