The intricacies of power structures, shaped by geography and material conditions, are also brought to the fore, along with an analysis of the evolution of court power in England and the influence of the feudal aristocracy.In our step leg of this historical journey, we invite you to engage in a captivating comparison of feudal systems and land ownership in England and France during the Middle Ages.
