Laws of London

(

)

... that according to the Laws of London, also known as IV Æthelred, merchants from lands ruled by the German emperor enjoyed special trading privileges in eleventh-century London?

Source: Robertson, Laws, p. 324; Naismith, "Laws of London", p. 2

Robertson: 'Subjects of the emperor appear to be specially privileged.' Naismith: 'Traders in London came from all over northern Europe: those of Rouen, Flanders, Ponthieu, Normandy and Francia are singled out, as well as others from specific towns in the Low Countries (Huy, Liège and Nivelles) and a group referred to as ‘the men of the emperor’ (homines imperatoris) who had especially wideranging

privileges.'
