- Joe Bethancourt's essay on fealty brought a question to mind:
-
- In the early part of your essay, you described historical vassals swearing
- fealty to the Crown.
-
- Is that indeed the case, or was the oath of fealty to a king generally
- considered to be to the king personally in his capacity as sovereign?
-
- The question of when "the Crown" came to exist as an institution is a dicey
- one. Here is a place where some light might be thrown on the idea.
-
- Where's Hossein, anyway?
