Sheriff System and Feudal Monarchy in Post-Conquest England,1066-1215
From the Norman Conquest in 1066 to the promulgation of the Magna Carta in 1215,this period is regarded as an important period for the development of feudal monarchy in England.The relationship between feudal monarchy and local society in this period was typically represented by kings and sheriffs,and generally presented three stages.First of all,the three county system reforms reflected the king's determination to strengthen local rule after the Norman Conquest,and the king took the initiative in the relationship between them.Secondly,the status and functions of the sheriff reflected a certain degree of subordinate power of the king,which was the active intervention of the feudal monarchy in the local society.Finally,the sheriff's revolt against the king represented the power tension between local society and the feudal monarchy during this period.In general,the relationship between the king and the sheriff during this period not only reveals the game and compromise between the royal government and the local society,but also highlights the ultimate purpose and behavioral nature of the feudal monarchy intervening in the local society.
