This lecture considers how far legal change was a matter of policy, how far it was the unintended outcome of limited innovations. It raises issues concerning competition between different models of lordship and landholding and revisits the notion of an ‘anti-feudal’ policy. It thereby reflects upon the arguments of Maitland and of S.F.C. Milsom.
