Abstract
In the period of reform and rebellion in England, 1258-1267, the issue of land stood out at two particular moments: during the widespread attacks and spoliation of royalists' properties in the summer of 1263, and the confiscation and later restoration of rebels' lands in 1265 and 1266. The attacks on land brought Simon de Montfort, Earl of Leicester, to power, and the thoroughness of the attacks can best be seen in the case of the royal councilor John Mansel. The failure of the reformers adequately to restore lands to the victims in the autumn explains the briefness of Earl Simon's first period in power.
In 1265, after the Battle of Evesham, the king instituted a policy of total confiscation of rebel lands, which he then granted out to royalist supporters, with Robert Walerand as one of the major beneficiaries. The Dictum of Kenilworth in 1266, however, mitigated the harshness of the treatment of former rebels. This article argues that a respect for the right of inheritance was behind such a change in policy, and was a basic assumption common to the entire polity.
