I think England was also unigue in that it had Monarchs that were for the most part not so powerful that the nobles could not put some checks on them, first in a sort of informal way then a bit more formal with the Magna Carta.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>England also is unique in that it was cut off or saw itself as seperate from mainland Europe and that had an effect on how it developed and The Monarchy, it has also been my impression that England was in an all most constant state of trying to counter anything that France/Gaul was doing and after Henry VIII it was Catholicism and the Reformation.</p><p>&nbsp;</p><p>A good book you might be interested in is History Of England By The Late W. E. Lunt it reads a bit like a textbook at times, yet I found it to be helpful but I&#039;m still really a novice when it comes to English History and coinage.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
