Stranica 368 - These procured a constant succession of fresh and healthy blood from Europe, they were not liable to the evils of minorities, their selfish interests were bound up with the strength of the kingdom. If one Grand Master fell, another of equal experience and dignity took his place ; if estates accumulated in their hands, they were not applied to the strengthening of faction against faction or family against family, but for the...
Stranica 327 - The Eastern Empire was not so much a ' Child of the Roman Empire ' as the shadow of that empire itself ; and my business is only with the Children that were becoming nations.
Stranica 8 - Irnerius, Placentinus, Azo, Accursius reason as if the Lord Justinian was still holding sway over Italy, and all disputes were to be decided in his courts.
