    Sainte-Beuve summarizes the full significance of this text as follows: “Mr. Mignet, through this first and remarkable essay, openly declared his natural vocation (…). He reasoned that the influence and glory of Saint Louis consisted above all in the weakening and subordination of the feudal regime, and he therefore sought to understand the origins and principles of this feudal government, how it had been established and grown, and by what stages, having reached its greatest development, it was approaching the point marked for its decline.”
