Feudalism Its Rise, Progress, and Consequences (Classic Reprint)
Print on DemandSeller: Forgotten Books, London, United Kingdom
Seller rating 5 out of 5 stars
Paperback. Condition: New. Print on Demand. This book chronologically details a survey of the rise, progress, and impact of feudalism in Europe during antiquity and the early Middle Ages. The author argues that feudalism originated not with the Norman Conquest of England but with the fall of the Roman Empire, which resulted in the violent displacement of populations, decline of urban life, and the re-establishment of rural communities centered around fortified strongholds. The author demonstrates how barbarian chieftains and their armed bands gradually transformed into landed aristocrats who ruled over serfs bound to the land for protection. Within this feudal framework, the role of the Church as a stabilizing force is highlighted, with the clergy often acting as the only source of education, social services, and spiritual guidance. Furthermore, the author examines the impact of feudalism on the development of political and legal institutions, including the emergence of parliaments and the evolution of a complex system of property rights. Ultimately, this book provides a comprehensive and nuanced analysis of the feudal period, offering fresh insights into the origins, development, and consequences of this transformative era in European history.
