Abstract
I shall now provide detailed illustration of my revised theory via analysis of English feudalism. Of crucial concern here are the separation of producers from ancillary means of production, the relationship of the peasant community to the feudal economy, variation in manorial structure, and the constitution of the manor and villeinage as political categories appropriate to the feudal economy.
