Excerpt from Littell's Living Age, Vol. 190: July, August, September, 1891
It seems difficult to imagine that at an interval of time which might be covered by seven long lives the only two powers in the State were the king and the nobles; that battles between contending armies were sometimes decided by single combat; that lepers were burnt alive; that bands of robbers met in troops like armies and overran the country; that an annual trib ute was paid to the p0pe; and that the king was able at will to plunder and banish the Jews, and to appropriate so much of the money and plate of the monasteries and churches as suited his purpose. Yet such was the state of things when Geof frey le Baker took up his pen, and when Edward I. Sat on the throne as king of England and France and lord of Ireland. At that time Scotland owed no allegiance to the English crown; but on the contrary waged a perpetual war against her south ern neighbor, mainly on account of the constant interference of the English king in the matter of the Scotch successions.
