“there were places within the lands held by the king-duke which were subject to a hierarchy of courts ultimately controlled by the Parlement, the supreme court of France which sat in Paris.”
Christopher Allmand, The Hundred Years War: England and France at War c.1300–c.1450

“the differences between the crown of France and its vassals were expressed in a language which was essentially feudal (a new political vocabulary more suited to developments had not yet evolved), what was really happening was something remarkably ‘modern’, the laying of the foundations of a national state under one monarch whose territorial authority could only be effectively exercised through annexation or conquest.”
Christopher Allmand, The Hundred Years War: England and France at War c.1300–c.1450

“Equally, the giver of homage could not act in concert with, or give help to, any of his lord’s enemies. By creating a peerage for Henry III, Louis IX was only emphasising further the closeness of the allegiance which bound the two men.”
Christopher Allmand, The Hundred Years War: England and France at War c.1300–c.1450
