For the prominent legal figures of the time, the Scottish Reformation posed a significant constitutional and jurisdictional crisis. In the midst of such turmoil, moderate judges, lawyers, and state officials sought to maintain order amidst the revolution by preserving much of the medieval Catholic legal and administrative framework in Scotland. Green's book covers various aspects of the Reformation, including the Wars of the Congregation, the Reformation Parliament, the legitimacy of the Scottish government from 1558 to 1561, the early courts of the Church of Scotland, and the legal significance of Mary Stewart's personal reign. Additionally, he explores overlooked aspects of the Reformation, such as the roles of the Court of Session and the Court of the Commissaries of Edinburgh.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e                            \u003cstrong\u003eWeight\u003c\/strong\u003e: 344g                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eDimension\u003c\/strong\u003e: 154 x 232 x 19 (mm)                            \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eISBN-13\u003c\/strong\u003e: 9781474484299                                                      \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Thomas Green","offers":[{"title":"Paperback \/ softback","offer_id":44096235176186,"sku":"9781474484299","price":18.55,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0522\/4297\/2845\/products\/c6cfedee2c041da450d5d8fcbeda8eaa.jpg?v=1633922366","url":"https:\/\/shulphink.com\/products\/spiritual-jurisdiction-in-reformation-scotland-a-legal-history","provider":"Shulph Ink","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
