The feudal system of land tenure was introduced in Ireland by Normans. In this regard, the feudal system primarily worked on the principle that the ownership of all land eventually lied with the crown.

Perhaps one of the more interesting elements of the plays of William Shakespeare is that his romances typically do not progress as one might expect.

All those who do imitate or try and act like their heroes don’t do so because they know them personally, but do so because of the influence the celluloid world has over them. Many people fall victim to the influence of the celluloid ...
