There is a brief statement here, which goes on to detail later changes to the law.
You will be interested in this webpage and this original document (one version adds this comment: "The laws of William the Conqueror, is probably the sum and substance of all the enactments made by that sovereign. Especially interesting are the reference in § 6 to the wager of battle-the first mention of that institution in English law-and the law against capital punishment in § 10."). There is another important statue here. |
