Henry II (reigned 1154 to 1189) introduced many new laws and confirmed those made by his predecessors which had fallen into disuse.
He appointed judges throughout England to hear cases on the king's behalf; anyone caught hunting without permission would be heavily fined or imprisoned; murder would be punished by hanging; traitors were condemned to exile; lesser criminals would have limbs cut off; fines were imposed for trespass. The bishops of Winchester, Ely and Norwich were appointed Chief Justices of the Realm in order to prevent corruption among the other judges.
Henry also looked into the activities of the existing Sheriffs who had been abusing their powers; he held enquiries into their conduct and in 1170 dismissed most of them. They were replaced by professional administrators rather than local barons.
