This is way way OT but: The situation in 1200-1215 is there were
several barons who held lands in Normandy and England as fiefs of John
K. of E. & Duke of N. Then the K. of France took Normandy. So they had
to pick; you can't be loyal to both, and you don't have an option to
sell. Those who stayed in England then tried to squeeze concessions
from John & came up with Magna Carta.
