Henry II. completed his judicial reforms, though the See also:principal of them had been carried out before he came into See also:- OFFICE (from Lat. officium, " duty," " service," a shortened form of opifacium, from facere, " to do," and either the stem of opes, " wealth," " aid," or opus, " work ")
office. He became the king's right-See also:hand See also:man, and during Henry's frequent absences was in effect See also:viceroy of England. After the See also:death of Henry in 1189, Glanvill was removed from his office by See also:Richard I., and imprisoned till he had paid a See also:ransom, according to one authority, of £15,000. Shortly after obtaining his freedom he took the See also:cross, and he died at the See also:siege of See also:Acre in 1190. At the instance, it may be, of Henry II., Glanvill wrote or superintended the See also:writing of the Tractatus de legibus et consuetudinibus regni Angliae, which is a See also:practical See also:treatise on the forms of See also:procedure in the king's court. As the source of our knowledge regarding the earliest See also:form of the See also:curia regis, and for the information it affords regarding See also:ancient customs and See also:laws, it is of See also:great value to the student of English See also:history. It is now generally agreed that the See also:work of Glanvill is of earlier date than the Scottish law book known from its first words as Regiam Majestatem, a work which bears a See also:close resemblance to his.
The treatise of Glanvill was first printed in 1554. An English See also:translation, with notes and introduction by See also:John Beames, was published at See also:London in 1812. A See also:French version is found in various See also:MSS., but has not yet been printed.
