Thus, the enclosure movement was also called: "Sheep Eater"!
In this prolonged movement, a vast new land noble class emerged, with titles generally not high, yet they held a considerable amount of land, totaling over 20% of Hightins's lands.
It should be known that they wouldn't spend effort enclosing barren lands unfit for pastures, but instead, all were lush and fertile areas, making this 20% a truly alarming figure.
The opposition from successive Royal Families was futile, because it took away a considerable portion of their power, with the support of the Parliament representing the interests of nobility, great merchants, and asset holders!
Thus, this movement was even called "Parliamentary Enclosure."
From the perspective of production materials, this was an organized interest group indirectly hollowing out the nation's assets.
Prior to this, nowhere in the world had there been such a ruthless handling of various traditional agricultural relations and farmers.
