Henry II's legal reforms weakened feudalism by centralizing authority in the royal courts, which reduced the power of local lords. The introduction of the jury system and royal judges diminished the reliance on feudal customs and decentralized legal proceedings. This shift in legal authority favored the king's power over the feudal lords, leading to a more unified and centralized legal system.
