The Assize of Northampton , largely based on the Assize of Clarendon of 1166, is among a series of measures taken by King Henry II of England that solidified the rights of the knightly tenants and made all possession of land subject to and guaranteed by royal law. The assize is believed to have been passed at a council held in Northampton in January 1176. The assize contained severe penalties for various offences and gave the justices substantial powers at the expense of the sheriff s. The assize is connected with the reorganisation of itinerant justices and contains instructions for six groups of justices appointed to tour the country. Later clauses deal with the introduction of important new legislation, chiefly the king s right to have certain cases brought into his court. The assize was a strong response to a crime wave then being experienced and gave additional powers to the authorities by creating new offences that a judge could examine, including arson and forgery, and set down new and severe punishments that could be handed down, including the removal of an offender s right hand. The Assize of Northampton is also the first official document to contain information on the possessory assizes of mort d ancestor and novel disseisin .

It was somewhat like sittuyin but developed independently, probably to get the armies into contact sooner. It was current in England and Paris in the second half of the 12th century, and perhaps at other times and or places. The pieces started with the pawns on the third ranks, and the queen on the same square as the e file pawn. These two pieces could not be moved together, and after that no two pieces of the same color could be on the same square together. But, before either moved, both could be captured together. After that, the usual rules of medieval chess i.e. shatranj or similar applied. Murray records these two starting positions, and writes as if the players could choose the starting positions of their kings and bishops and knights and rooks. It is not known if the game had an initial setting up stage like in sittuyin . The ordinary European chess of the time was sometimes called the long assize to distinguish.

Unreferenced date November 2009 The AssizeCourtAssize of Clarendon was an 1166 act of Henry II of England that began the transformation of English law from such systems for deciding the prevailing party in a case as trial by ordeal or trial by battle to an evidentiary model, in which Evidence law evidence and inspection was made by laymen.

The Black Assize was a pandemic plague of epidemic typhus that struck the town of Oxford in England on July 6, 1577. About 300 people including the chief baron and sheriff, are thought to have died as a result of the plague. It received its name because it was believed to have been caught from prisoners under trial at the AssizeCourt at Oxford Castle . On the wall inside the Main Hall of the Old County Hall of Oxfordshire in New Road an inscription reads blockquote Near this spot stood the ancient Shire Hall, unhappily famous In history as the scene in July 1577 of the Black Assize, when a malignant disease known as Gaol Fever caused the death within forty days of the Lord Chief Baron of the Exchequer, Sir Robert Bell, the Lord High Sheriff Sir Robert D Oyly of Merton and about three hundred more.
