Excerpt from St. Alban in History and Legend, a Critical Examination: The King and His Councilors, Prolegomena to a History of the House of Lords
In these words the West Saxon annalist introduces the most terrible series of invasions which the British Islands have ever experienced. Among their first consequences was a fresh increase in the power of the kingship. By a process of natural selection the supremacy of England had just fallen into the hands of the West Saxon dynasty, and the House of Cerdic found themselves exalted into the position of national cham pions against the national foe. The struggle was terrible Under the Hammer of Thor England was shattered to frag ments None the less, the evil brought good in its train: the fragments were welded into unity by the very force to which they owed their existence. The royal line of Wessex weathered the storm to become unquestioned sovereigns of an orderly, a. Feudalized society. If Freeman's classification of the North ern invasions be adopted, it may be said that the period of plunder ministered to feudalism by bringing commendation to the fore: that of settlement, by making it universal: while the third period, political conquest, produced an aggravated type of feudalism in complete development.
