Summary: Based on legal practice from the period c 1250-1600, this book takes issue with the important viewpoints in earlier research by early modernists: that the Reformation represented a watershed in a development characterized by criminalisation of sexual acts, increase in the severity of sentences and deterioration of the position of women.
