Feudalism in Persia: Its Origin, Development, and Present Condition (Classic Reprint) - Softcover
Excerpt from Feudalism in Persia: Its Origin, Development, and Present Condition
Since that period, that is, since about 4000 B. C., the nature of the population of Persia has been modified 2 only in Media, the invasion of which by the Turks, only a thousand years ago, drove back the ancient inhabitants on their congeners in the mountains of Kurdistan.
From the twentieth century before our era western Asia has thus been shared by two very distinct elements, the old races, Semitic and aborigines (elamites, Hittites, Caucasians, etc.) in the west, and the newcomers of the Aryan group in the north and east.' Among these two elements the principles of government show some decided differences. While in the Semitic country feudalism was based on absolute obedience to suzerain and entire ownership by the master, among the Aryans the same system of government rested on the great vassals or companions of the supreme chief.5 This nobility included the younger branches of the royal family and the principal chiefs of tribes which had taken part in the conquest. It constituted a sort of council which governed with the sovereign.' The seigniors themselves in their provincial governments surrounded themselves with their principal subordinates, descendants of those who had served under their ancestors at the time of the invasion.
