medieval-religion: Scholarly discussions of medieval religion and culture
I am not arguing the Frederick's Liber augustalis had influence in England. Rather it is the equation of the 2, starting then, that I regard as at issue. There were Roman law borrowings, directly & through canon law. They are least visible in procedure & land law; most visible, in areas like admiralty jurisdiction [from Roman law directly] and wills [via canon law].

I don't dispute this. However, I still question how much influence
Frederick's equation of treason and heresy had in Britain.
In the reigns of Henry VIII and Elizabeth I the distinction between the two
certainly became blurred, when professing Catholicism could easily entail a
conflict of loyalties between monarch and pope. However, Frederick died in
1250, during the reign of Henry III and 235 years before Henry VIII's
accession. Was it really as big an issue then?
