51. Yeah, reading the history of feudal England

Is like reading how the kings and lords slowly took away the land from everyone else. So, skipping all the constant wars and religious atrocities, you can see how the kings moved the farmers to the small villages. They are beautiful picturesque towns today but they were a means of taking away common used lands from the people of England.

Some farmers stayed on the land because there were no villages nearby or they were just too far apart. But mostly the kings and lords used the enclosure act and other laws to move the British people into the villages and off the farm land so the Lords could control them. It allowed the kings to wander their lands for hunting and fishing without those pesky farmers intruding.
So now farmers have to travel to lands they didn't own to work them for the king....serfs.

Then the king says no you can't let your pigs and sheep graze on the now open fields. Only the Lord's and King's pigs and sheep can graze. Then they say no hunting animals in the woods to eat. Those are all the king's wild animals to eat. Then they tell the people you can't fish without permission of the Lord of the estate. So, make do with rats and mice. Then you can't even pick up a dead stick from off the forest grounds without the Lord's permission. Of course the sequence wasn't exactly like this in every part of feudal England but you get the gist.

No wonder feudalism fell apart......but we seem to be going back to a feudal system. Where the filthy rich dump their waste products into our air, water and land. Then they use corporations to take over every market in the country from grocery stores to restaurants to clothes and furniture. Now they are taking away our public lands for only their use to hunt and enjoy. How very feudal of them.
