Sir Roger And Carl Donnan

"Sir Roger had established himself on the planet we named New Avalon. Our folk needed a rest, and he needed time to settle many questions of securing that vast kingdom which was already fallen to him."
-Poul Anderson, The High Crusade (New York, 1968), CHAPTER XX, p. 139.

"'I bunk here when I'm on Varg...'"
-Poul Anderson, After Doomsday (Frogmore, St Albans, Herts, 1975), CHAPTER FOURTEEN, p. 139.

"Sir Roger...had a solution to these problems, one hammered out in Europe during those not dissimilar centuries after Rome fell: the feudal system."
-The High Crusade, CHAPTER XVII, p. 123.

"The newly freed planets...are already a great power...their deliberative assembly is presided over by a human."
-After Doomsday, p. 138.

Sir Roger feudalizes. Donnan frees. In both novels, the narrative skips past a long and hard campaign.
