Show 1 barous manner in which tho nations and kingdoms were then ruled oyer. These rulers,, their subordinates subor-dinates and aiistocreacy, formed a most formidable force against their subjects, their thirst for gold and power led them to resort to every conceivable cruelty and barbarity to wrest from the people their.gold and other valuables, and bring them more and more under their subjection that they the more readily could use them as vassals and menial slaves.
