Which king of England improved the legal system?
The king most closely associated with improving the English legal system is Henry II (reigned 1154-1189). He established the key forerunner to the system of Assize Courts and sent his judges to try criminal cases and hear civil lawsuits in every part of the country. Previously, local grandees (earls and barons) had dealt with cases themselves or appointed their own judges - a most unsatisfactory situation. Henry II's famous quarrel with Thomas Becket arose largely from his attempt to bring the Church within the ordinary legal system. In fact, English 'legal memory' dates from the death of Henry II. In other words, English courts cannot go back before that date. A few English cities, such as London and Winchester already had charters in 1189 and are officially said to have been cities 'since time immemorial'.
