 Book 4: Organization, chapter 3
The calificador was thus an important and laborious assistant in the current work of the tribunal, and it is somewhat remarkable that, although reckoned among the officials, with a recognized place in public functions, there should be doubt whether he was entitled to the fuero.
When such estimates were placed on the office, the opportunity for illicit gains was tempting to those who had power to issue commissions and, in addition to this, were the profits of litigation and the abundant fees for officials in the investigation into the limpieza of aspirants and their wives.

The so called Kingdoms were actually the result of the prowess of an individual leader which would dissolve quickly when the charismatic leader died or lost the confidence of his allies.
Thus, such kingdoms were in fact a patchwork of intersecting mandalas(circle of kings), each claiming lordship over its territory and hegemony over the other rulers who in fact his allies and vassals.
Similarly, in three imprecation inscriptions, the Telaga Batu, the Kota Kapur and the Palas Pasemah, the contents of the inscriptions is divided into 3 parts: First, an invocation to all divinities; the Second, curse on all evildoers and traitors and the last, blessings on all those who submitted to the rule of Srivijaya.

 Stevens: Sources of the Constitution: Chapter 3
But as the petty kingdoms were slowly aggregated into the great heptarchic kingdoms, there grew up for each enlarged nationality a Witenagemot, or council of the chiefs — the witan or wise — and folkmoots or old assemblies of the freemen sank into shiremoots, of which the new kingdom might have many.
But as the small kingdoms coalesced or were united by conquest, it does not seem to have been thought necessary to extend the system; the council of the aggregated state is not a folkmoot, but a witenagemot.
It was enough that the Hwiccians, or Hccanians, or Magasætanians had their folkmoot, without the Mercians [the United Kingdom] having one too, and it was enough for the king, as ruler of Mercia, to have his witenagemot without continuing to hold similar gatherings as overlord of Hwiccia and the associated districts.

 Korean as standart language
It was the period of Three Kingdoms when various regional variants of proto-Korean were shaped in the process of the development of centralized aristocratic states.
No of the Three Kingdoms developed its own original writing system; all extant written monuments of that period are in classic Chinese, and the later the document the more figurative and rhetoric its style.
Not surprisingly, each of the rival Kingdoms has its own phonetic transcription system: the languages spoken in all Three Kingdoms were significantly different, albeit closely related, and incessant military and political strife prevented any attempt at transcription system standardization in principle.

There are three spirits, and three mouths, that is, one spirit proceeding out of each mouth; but as they are all three like frogs and unclean, though proceeding from three different mouths, they are in nature, origin, and tendency, the same.
After this, the plucking up of the Lombard Kingdom by the roots, and the defeat of the Sardinian horn at Novara, by which the Little Horn became triumphant in Italy, caused the Frogs to seize on Rome that their interests in the Peninsular might be preserved from annihilation.
