This might be much more specific than you were looking for, but The History of English Law Before the Time of Edward I by Pollock and Maitland is arguably one of the best works of legal history ever produced. The way it tracks the evolution of the common law in England is still relevant to modern common law based legal systems. These guys were giants of their time, and I found the legal developments to be some of the most interesting aspects of the medieval period. Fair warning, there are two volumes, and they are not really for mere casual reading.
