You could go back as far as the Ten Commandments. The first written laws. Then theres Wihtred law, Canon law... the list goes on but I think the important thing to remember is that the Early Christian church assisted in writing up the laws after the Romans departed. Bishops would act as Judges, . Such Laws allowed a bishop's word, like a king's, to be considered as legally incontestable without needing an oath, though lesser clergymen had to free themselves before the alter.
