Editing Examples of feudalism (section)

=== Sark ===
The tiny island of [[Sark]], in the [[Channel Islands]], was arguably the last feudal state in Europe which ended after 450 years on 9 April 2008. The island was a fiefdom of the larger nearby island of [[Guernsey]] and administered independently by a [[list of Seigneurs of Sark|Seigneur]], who was a vassal to the land's owner, the [[Queen of the United Kingdom]]. Sark's ruling body voted on 4 October 2006 to replace the remaining tenement seats in Chief Pleas with a fully-elected democratic government, which was implemented on April 9, 2008.<ref>{{cite book |first1=A.
