The warfare of people like Lot had been suppressed, but not the unbiddable baronage who lived like gangsters on their own estates.

His government was stern; he over-rode the privileges of the baronage without regard to precedent; he persisted in keeping large districts under the arbitrary and vexatious jurisdiction of the forest-courts.

No alliance was actually formed between the king and the mesne nobility against the immediate baronage.

The committee rejected the demand, and Grosseteste foiled an attempt on the king’s part to separate the clergy from the baronage.

His rank and territorial influence made him the natural leader of the western baronage.
