It was, in fact, with him that the struggle towards monarchical bureaucracy began, which was checked by the barons, who extorted Magna Charta from King John, and afterwards by the revolt headed by Simon de Montfort in Henry III.'s reign; was carried on vigorously by Edward I., and finally successfully finished by Henry VII. after the long faction fight of the Wars of the Roses had weakened the feudal lords so much that they could no longer assert themselves against the monarchy. IT WAS IN FACT WITH HIM THAT THE STRUGGLE TOWARDS MONARCHICAL BUREAUCRACY BEGAN WHICH WAS CHECKED BY THE BARONS WHO EXTORTED MAGNA CHARTER FROM KING JOHN AND AFTERWARDS BY THE REVOLT HEADED BY SIMON DE MONTFORT IN HENRY THE THIRD TRAIN WAS CARRIED ON VIGOROUSLY BY EDWARD THE FIRST AND FINALLY SUCCESSFULLY FINISHED BY HENRY THE SEVENTH AFTER THE LONG FACTION FIGHT OF THE WARS OF THE ROSES HAD WEAKENED THE FEUDAL LORD SO MUCH THAT THEY COULD NO LONGER ASSERT THEMSELVES AGAINST THE MONARCHY
try as a Teutonic people was checked and turned aside by this event. Duke William brought, in fact, his Normandy into England, which was thereby changed from a Teutonic people (Old-Norse theod), with the tribal customary law still in use among them, into a province of Romanized Feudal Europe, a piece of France, in short; and though in time she did grow into another England again, she missed for ever in her laws, and still more in her language and her literature, the chance of developing into a great homogeneous Teutonic people infused usefully with a mixture of Celtic blood. However, this step which Duke William was forced to take further influenced the future of the country by creating the great order of the Baronage, and the history of the early period of England is pretty much that of the struggle of the king with the Baronage and the Church. For William fixed the type of the successful English mediæval king, of whom Henry II. and Edward I. were the most notable examples afterwards.  COUNTRY AS A TEUTONIC PEOPLE WAS CHECKED AND TURNED ASIDE BY THIS EVENT DUKE WILLIAM BROUGHT IN FACT HIS NORMANDY INTO ENGLAND WHICH WAS THEREBY CHANGED FROM A TEUTONIC PEOPLE OLD NORSE THEIOD WITH THE TRIBAL CUSTOMARY LAW STILL IN USE AMONG THEM INTO A PROVINCE OF ROMANIZED FEUDAL EUROPE A PIECE OF FRANCE IN SHORT AND THOUGH IN TIME SHE DID GROW INTO ANOTHER ENGLAND AGAIN SHE MISSED FOREVER IN HER LAWS AND STILL MORE IN HER LANGUAGE AND HER LITERATURE THE CHANCE OF DEVELOPING INTO A GREAT HOMOGENEOUS TEUTONIC PEOPLE INFUSED USEFULLY WITH A MIXTURE OF CELTIC BLOOD HOWEVER THIS STEP WHICH DUKE WILLIAM WAS FORCED TO TAKE FURTHER INFLUENCED THE FUTURE OF THE COUNTRY BY CREATING THE GREAT ORDER OF THE BARONAGE AND THE HISTORY OF THE EARLY PERIOD OF ENGLAND IS PRETTY MUCH THAT OF THE STRUGGLE OF THE KING WITH THE BARONAGE AND THE CHURCH FOR WILLIAM FIXED THE TYPE OF THE SUCCESSFUL ENGLISH MEDIAEVAL KING OF WHOM HENRY THE SECOND AND EDWARD THE FIRST WERE THE MOST NOTABLE EXAMPLES AFTERWARDS
