对英国法律史中核心问题的进一步探讨,可以从法国法律史那里获取新的视角。在它们步入中世纪后期的时候,法国与英国在法律和政治制度方面有着共同的配置。构成现代法国版图的大部分区域,在一个共同的君主统治之下与英格兰联为一体;政治制度受到一些相同的基本势力的塑造,拥有相近的封建组织形式;私法基本上都由尚未条文化的民众习惯组成,而且相互之间极其类似,甚至在细节上都是如此。早在13世纪,法律与统治方面的分化就已经显而易见。但我们直到现在也不曾针对这一分化发生的进程,或者针对随后的历史中继续存在的相近之处,将二者联系起来作出解释和说明。不过我们知道政 A further exploration of the core issues in the history of legal history in the United Kingdom gives a new perspective on the history of legal history in France.
