Innovation, to the minds of medieval men, was pernicious, an offence against the established order of society as ordained by God, and this was a powerful argument." [99] "Henry was interested in making existing systems function better; he was not at heart an innovator – an approach, as we have seen, alien to the medieval mind – but a man who wanted to find better ways of doing things. He and his advisers began with his grandfather’s laws and institutions, themselves based on the Norman skill in administration which had emerged a century earlier, and made them the most effective of their kind in Europe." [99] "At the end of Henry’s reign, the book that is regarded as the foundation of English ‘common’ law, the law which applies throughout the land, was compiled by someone with a very detailed knowledge of the subject. Indeed, The Treatise on the Laws and Customs of the Realm of England is usually associated with the name of its author and Henry’s justiciar, Ranulf de Glanvill himself."
