Abstract
This article deals with the regulation of the price and weight of bread in medieval London, drawing mainly on the manuscript Liber de Assisa Panis. It concludes that, at least in the fourteenth century, and particularly in the reign of Edward II, there is evidence of determined and robust attempts to make the regulations work, with a variety of different tactics and techniques, and with important participation by high-status individuals in the city in the setting and enforcing of the regulations and the punishment of offenders.
