Letter to King Richard II Quotes

“All fruits were held in common by the inhabitants, to each according to his need and the words 'my own' were never heard. These people lived so happily together, that they never seemed to grow old. All tyranny and harsh rule was banned from the garden, though there was a king, who stood for authority and common good, and he was so loved and looked up to that he might have been the father of each and all. And no wonder, for he had such concern for the welfare of his subjects, dwellers in the garden, that neither he nor his children owned anything in person.”
― Philippe de Mézières, Letter to King Richard II: A plea made in 1395 for peace between England and France
