The statutes or assessments of King William I of Scotland, enacted at Perth, delineate a comprehensive legal framework for the realm. They cover various aspects such as the handling of theft accusations, the obligations of justices and sheriffs, the conduct expected from judges, penalties for deforcing royal ministers, and the consequences of violence within the King's court. Additionally, the statutes emphasize the duty of nobles to not harbor wrongdoers and to assist in upholding justice. The regulations reflect a commitment to maintaining order and accountability within the kingdom.
