British colonists left a legacy that still haunts today. Discover the true stories of exploitation and resistance in The Curse of The British Colonials.
During the middle ages era, the Monarch’s authority in feudal society was absolute, strengthened by taking a trip aministrators who made sure that all taxes, levies, and fees were paid. This centralization of power frustrated the barons, who felt progressively sidelined by a system that enabled the monarch to govern without their input. The scenario escalated throughout King John’s reign when his authoritarian rule and military failures magnified their discontent.
This discontent\abuse of power culminated in the Magna Carta of 1215, a historical effort to restrict the King’s power and safeguard the rights of the barons and the broader realm.
The end of feudalism in Britain was not the outcome of a single event, but, rather a complex interaction of political, financial, and social changes. Among the most significant aspects was the centralization of royal power, as kings began to assert more direct control over their areas, decreasing the impact of feudal lords. The Black Death of the 14th century even more accelerated this decrease by annihilating the population, leading to labor shortages and providing peasants greater bargaining power. As towns and trade began to grow, the old feudal obligations were worn down, and a new social order emerged where wealth was increasingly determined by commerce instead of land ownership. These modifications marked the start of Feudalism, leading the way for the modern-day nation-state. Check out how these modifications in Britain’s feudal system resonated throughout the Atlantic in the Caribbean.
