A quick definition of liber judicialis of Alfred:

The Liber Judicialis of Alfred, also known as the Doombook, was a set of laws and punishments compiled by King Alfred the Great. It contained rules for judges, forms for legal proceedings, and penalties for crimes. The code was used for many years until it was lost during the reign of King Edward IV.

A more thorough explanation:

The Liber Judicialis of Alfred was a code of laws compiled under the reign of King Alfred the Great in England. It contained common law maxims, judicial forms, and criminal penalties. It was also known as the Doombook, Domboc, or Domebook. Unfortunately, the code was lost during the reign of King Edward IV.

One example of a common law maxim found in the Liber Judicialis of Alfred is "Let justice be done, though the heavens fall." This means that justice should always be served, even if it means that there will be negative consequences.

Another example is a judicial form that was included in the code. It stated that a person accused of a crime had the right to a trial by jury. This means that a group of people would hear the evidence and decide if the accused was guilty or not.

Finally, the Liber Judicialis of Alfred also included criminal penalties for various offenses. For example, stealing a cow was punishable by a fine of 30 shillings, while stealing a horse was punishable by death.

The examples illustrate the different types of information that were included in the Liber Judicialis of Alfred. The common law maxims provided guidance on how justice should be served, while the judicial forms ensured that accused individuals had certain rights during their trial. The criminal penalties were meant to deter people from committing crimes and to provide consequences for those who did. Overall, the code was an important step in the development of English law and justice.
