The author believes that knight service was not gradually evolved after 1066 out of the Anglo-Saxon obligation to provide one armed man for every five hides, but was introduced de novo by the Conqueror; that' the assessment of knight service was based on a five knights unit, irrespective of area or value'; and that the feudal element introduced at the Conquest had a greater influence on our national institutions than recent historians admit.' He contends that the English defence at Hastings consisted not of palisades, but of a shield wall.

§ 61. THE THIRTEENTH CENTURY (1199-1307).

Of the general writers mentioned in § 17, Pauli, Ramsay, and Stubbs (Nos. 633, 636, 643) discuss the history of this century with some fulness; see also Adams, Tout, and Davis (Nos. 632a, 634a), and § 70a. For the reign of John, see Nos. 2822, 3081; and Stubbs's edition of Walter of Coventry, vol. ii. preface. The literature relating to the Great Charter is examined in § 516. The best biographies of Simon de Montfort are those of Bémont and Prothero (Nos. 2830, 2841). Blaauw (No. 2831) gives a good account of Henry III.'s struggle with the barons; see also Gasquet (No. 3084). For episodes in his relations with France, see Elie Berger, Les Préparatifs d'une Invasion Anglaise et la Descente de Henri III. en Bretagne (1229-30), in Bibliothèque de l'Ecole des Chartes, 1893, liv. 5-44 (also issued separately); and Charles Bémont, La Campagne de Poitou, 1242-43 (Taillebourg et Saintes), in Annales du Midi, 1893, pp. 289-314. Good short accounts of Edward I.'s relations to Scotland will be found in J. H. Burton's History of Scotland, 2nd edition, Edinburgh, 1873, ch. xviii. ; E. A. Freeman's Historical Essays, London, 1871, pp. 53-78; to 1290, in Wyckoff's treatise (No. 2807); and see Bain (No. 2807). On the taxation of this period, see S. K. Mitchell, Studies in Taxation under John and Henry III., New Haven, 1914.

For parliamentary history during the thirteenth century, see § 65; and for biographies of Langton, Grosseteste, Rich, and other prelates, § 70c.

2833. GUILHIERMOZ, P. Les deux condamnations de Jean. Sans-Terre par la cour de Philippe-Auguste. Bibliothèque de l'Ecole des Chartes, lx. 45-85. Paris, 1899.

He believes that John was condemned twice by the court: once in 1202, on complaint of the counts of La Marche and Eu, and a second time in 1203 for the murder of Arthur. For a reply from Bémont and a rejoinder by Guilhiermoz, see Bibliothèque de l'Ecole des Chartes, lx. 363-72. Charles Petit-Dutaillis and Gabriel Monod agree with Bémont: Revue Historique, 1899, lxxi. 33-41; 1900, lxxii. 96–99, 100-101. See also Achille Luchaire, La Condamnation de Jean Sans Terre en 1203, in Séances et Travaux de l'Académie des Sciences Morales et Politiques, new series, 1900, liii. 161-8; also printed in Revue Historique, 1900, lxxii. 285-90. Kate Norgate, in her paper on The Alleged Condemnation of King John in 1202 (Royal Hist. Soc., Trans., 1900, xiv. 1-18), believes that the condemnation of 1202 as well as that of 1203 is factitious. F. M. Powicke (King John and Arthur of Brittany, in English Historical Review, 1909, xxiv. 659-74) holds, especially on the authority of the Annals of Margam, that John was condemned for the murder of Arthur. See No. 2829.
