Raoul Van Caenegem

Raoul Charles, Baron van Caenegem (born 14 July 1927), a Belgian historian, was a professor at the University of Ghent. In 1974, he was awarded the Francqui Prize on Human Sciences for his work on medieval history. He studied the history of continental and common law, and why they diverge so sharply. He revealed the significance of power struggles between the judiciary, legislators and legal scholars.

Van Caenegem became a foreign member of the Royal Netherlands Academy of Arts and Sciences in 1977.[1]
