Petawarikh Abad Pertengahan, [[OrdericOrderikus Vitalis]], menulis di dalam risalahnya, ''EcclesiasticalSejarah HistoryGerejawi'', that thebahwa [[Normansorang Norman]] had imposed amemikulkan [[yokekuk]] onke theatas Englishpundak orang Inggris: "AndMaka soorang theInggris Englishmenjerit groanedlantaran aloudhilang forkemerdekaannya theirdan losttak libertyjemu-jemu andmencari plotteddaya ceaselesslyupaya tountuk findmenghempaskan somekuk wayyang ofsedemikian shakingtak offtertanggungkan alagi yokeasing that was so intolerable andbagi unaccustomedmereka."<ref>[https://www.bbc.co.uk/history/british/normans/after_01.shtml (BBC) Mike Ibeji, "The Conquest and its Aftermath"]</ref> His later work, written in light of [[Henry I of England|Henry I]]'s reign and fifty years after the Conquest, took a more positive view of the situation of England, writing, "KingRaja Henry governedmemerintah the realmnegeri ... prudentlydengan andadil welldan throughbijaksana prosperitymelalui anduntung maupun adversitymalang. ... He treated the magnates with honour and generosity. He helped his humbler subjects by giving just laws, and protecting them from unjust extortions and robbers."<ref>Marjorie Chibnall, ed., ''The Ecclesiastical History of Orderic Vitalis'', Oxford, 1969–1980, vol. 5, pp. 294–297.</ref> The culturally freighted term of a "Norman yoke" first appears in an apocryphal work published in 1642 during the [[English Civil War]], under the title ''[[The Mirror of Justices]]''; the book was a translation of {{lang|xno|Mireur a justices}}, a collection of 13th century political, legal, and moral fables, written in [[Anglo-Norman language|Anglo-Norman French]], thought to have been compiled and edited in the early 14th century by renowned legal scholar [[Andrew Horn]].<ref>"... that apocryphal work ''The Mirror of Justices,'' which, mainly through the influence of Coke, was long regarded as a serious authority on law" ([http://www.bartleby.com/218/1308.html ''Cambridge History of English and American Literature''], vol. VIII, section xiii.8).
The ''Mirror of Justices'' was republished by the Selden Society, vol. 7, 1893, edited by W. J. Whittaker; it is one of the sources for Anglo-Norman Law French that was used to compile [http://www.anglo-norman.net/lot.shtml#M ''The Anglo-Norman Dictionary''], using a [http://www.anglo-norman.net/cgi-bin/deaf?siglum=MirJustW manuscript of the first third of the fourteenth century] at [[Corpus Christi College, Cambridge]]. The {{lang|xno|Mireur a justices}} introduced the anecdote of [[Alfred the Great#The cake legend|King Alfred absent-mindedly burning the cakes]].</ref> Even though it would have been obvious to anyone living in the fourteenth century that the book was a work of fiction, at the time of its publication in 1642, ''The Mirror of Justices'' was presented and accepted as historical fact.
