The Civilization of the Italian Rebirth: Despots of the Fifteenth Century, the Discovery of the World and of Man, Journeys of the Italians, Description of Human Life, Discovery of Man

The struggle between the Popes and the Hohenstaufen left Italy in a political condition which differed essentially from that of other countries of the West. While in France, Spain and England the feudal system was so organized that, at the close of its existence, it was naturally transformed into a unified monarchy, and while in Germany it helped to maintain, at least outwardly, the unity of the empire, Italy had shaken it off almost entirely. The Emperors of the fourteenth century, even in the most favourable case, were no longer received and respected as feudal lords, but as possible leaders and supporters of powers already in existence; while the Papacy, with its creatures and allies, was strong enough to hinder national unity in the future, but not strong enough itself to bring about that unity. Between the two lay a multitude of political unit's republics and despots in part of long standing, in part of recent origin, whose existence was founded simply on their power to maintain it.
