 | | 458-484 The feudal organisation of state and society is the dominant fact of medieval history on its institutional side quite as much as the city-state is the dominant fact of ancient history from the institutional point of view. | | | The ordinary judges, the counts and their subordinates were forbidden to enter the enfranchised district. | | | The status of a person depended in every way on his position on the land, and on the other hand, land-tenure determined political rights and duties. |

| | A Dissertation on the Canon and Feudal Law |
| | This, however, has been known by the great to be the temper of mankind; and they have accordingly labored, in all ages, to wrest from the populace, as they are contemptuously called, the knowledge of their rights and wrongs, and the power to assert the former or redress the latter. | | | They knew that no such unworthy dependencies took place in the ancient seats of liberty, the republics of Greece and Rome; and they thought all such slavish subordinations were equally inconsistent with the constitution of human nature and that religious liberty with which Jesus had made them free. | | | Let us recollect it was liberty, the hope of liberty for themselves and us and ours, which conquered all discouragements, dangers, and trials. |

| | This was the idea that the laws based on the common practices and traditions of the people (that developed during centuries of feudalism) had the force of state law. | | | The Magna Carta is clearly a feudal document, since it states and reaffirms many of the obligations of the king as a feudal leader. | | | This kind of law was not easily changed by any political authority (since it was rooted in history, not based on the authority of any individual.) In fact it was this tradition of common law that gave rise to the idea of constitutional government later in England's history. |

| | Such a contract was as much tinged with feudalism as those that had served in centuries past to enslave the peasants; the Convention saw in it the mark of feudalism, and therefore it gave the land to the peasant who rented it, without asking any indemnity for it. | | | However, as the Girondins were opposed to the abolition of these rights without indemnity, and yet proposed no scheme of redemption which would be binding on the lords, the whole matter remained in suspense. | | | And the new, transfigured nation, which had been formed during the revolutionary turmoil, also remained and set itself hard to work. |

| | Lordships were created by uniting and integrating an existing barony with another barony or with some other feudal title, and earldoms could be created similarly, perhaps by uniting lordships. | | | The feudal system allowed the baron to hold land as a tenant-in-chief of his "prince". | | | Feudal Law gives the title of Baron to all those who hold the absolute jurisdiction which is carried by the grant of furca et fossa - the power to hang men, and to drown women, found guilty of capital offences by a baronial court. |
