"In the following pages I have tried to explain, as simply and
concisely as possible, the historical significance of the feudal
system. . . . My purpose has not been to give a comprehensive
description of Europe in the feudal age, or even of feudal society.
I have taken for granted that the reader will be familiar with the
main political events of the Middle ages: the barbarian invasions,
the formation of the Carolingian Empire, the establishment of the
later monarchies, the Crusades, and the like. I have omitted all
but cursory mention of the manorial system and the revival of
commerce . . . . I have, in other words, restricted the discussion
to the few institutions that may be said to have constituted
feudalism proper, or to have been peculiarly associated with it."
from the PrefaceThis reprint of the first single-volume work in
English (originally published in 1942) to treat the principles of
feudalism gives a clear and concise account of the origin, growth,
and decay of the feudal system. Special attention is paid to the
principles of feudal tenure, chivalry, the military life of the
nobility, and the workings of feudal government, as illustrated by
actual cases."
