500    "An extraordinary court with late medieval roots in the 
       activities of the king's council, Star Chamber came into 
       its own over the sixteenth and early seventeenth centuries,
       before being abolished in 1641 by members of parliament 
       for what they deemed egregious abuses of royal power. 
       Before its demise, the court heard a wide range of 
       disputes in cases framed as fraud, libel, riot, and more. 
       In so doing, it produced records of a sort that make its 
       archive invaluable to many researchers today for insights 
       into both the ordinary and extraordinary. The chapters 
       gathered here explore what we can learn about the history 
       of an age through both the practices of its courts and the
       disputes of the people who came before them. With Star 
       Chamber, we view a court that came of age in an era of 
       social, legal, religious, and political transformation, 
       and one that left an exceptional wealth of documentation 
       that will repay further study." -- Humanities Digital
