C'est alors que des hommes audacieux, le plus sou vent des chefs de bandes, s'emparent du pouvoir, les uns par la ruse, les autres par la violence, et que des gouvernements permanents ne relevant que d'eux m'mes remplacent les dictatures temporaires volon tairement institu'es par la cit'. Telle fut l'origine des seigneuries. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
