Document Summary
The most important direct influence on medieval developments was the evolution of cenobitic monasticism in the west. These were the first christian communities that were consciously and deliberately established as communities. The monastic rules provided the earliest models of a constitutionally organized, self-governing ministate each individual had an established place, rights, and duties. England and france around 1300 both had established parliamentary traditions, in england the parliamentary principle resulted in a significantly restrained monarchy while in. Clearly it was not the rise of representative government per se that weakened the english crown; the loss of the continental possessions played a more direct role in that. Just as the culmination of capetian power owed most to the enormous growth of the capetian royal demesne achieved by driving the english from the land and extending royal authority southward during the albigensian crusade. Conditions changed dramatically during the reigns of his sons richard the lionheart (1189 : and john (1199 1216).
