Publisher's Synopsis
Excerpt from A History of the Life of Richard Coeur-De-Lion, King of England, Vol. 1 of 2
It must not indeed be understood that perfect uniformity was established throughout Europe, for such was not the case. In some places, more Of the Roman forms and insti tutions were retained; in others the northern notions pre dominated; but the differences, though important to the countries into which the Roman empire became subdivided, were not important as to the system itself. The forms Of the feudal system in various parts Of Europe were only varieties Of the same plant, the seeds Of which had been brought from the north, and cultivated in Roman soil.
