 Episode 2: Habeas Corpus in Ancient and Medieval Times - Summary In this comprehensive exploration of habeas corpus's ancient roots, Lex Franklin traces the writ's evolution from Roman legal concepts through medieval developments to its formalization in English common law. The episode examines how the "Interdicta de homine libero exhibendo" in Roman law established early protections against arbitrary detention for free citizens, and how these concepts survived through ecclesiastical courts during Europe's Dark Ages. Listeners learn how the Norman Conquest transformed England's legal landscape, leading to the development of various writs including early forms of habeas corpus. The episode highlights the Magna Carta's pivotal role in establishing that even monarchs were bound by law, examines the tension between common law courts and exceptional bodies like the Star Chamber, and reveals parallel legal developments across Europe. Throughout, Franklin demonstrates how habeas corpus evolved from a procedural device into a substantive protection against arbitrary detention—reflecting humanity's persistent effort to constrain power through law.
