Examples

“As feudalism in England never took the extreme centrifugal form of continental feudalism because it was, to a great extent, under the control of the crown, and as the king retained most of the powers of the ban in his own hands, there was never the opportunity for bannal lordships to develop in England.”

“In a bannal lordship the local seigneur, whether a castellan or a monastery, wielded a powerful and independent economic, judicial and fiscal authority over his men.”

“The lords also quickly succeeded in extending their seigneurial jurisdiction over these dependents for all but the most serious crimes—just as the bannal lords of France had done three centuries earlier—thereby removing much of the county population from the direct judicial authority of the count and, indirectly, of the king.”

“This man, an intellectual Alexander King—in both looks and attitude—bitter, bitter sweet (and I don't use the term intellectual in the bannal method of today) has verbally crucified every member of the class who dared open his mouth—and to read a work of ones own! Sheer folly.”
