What are the similarities and differences between England and France?

Many parallels can be drawn between England and France, because the countries developed according to a similar scenario. In medieval times, there were many similar moments in these countries. Both had an absolute monarchy and a feudal system. Both countries went through bourgeois revolutions and went over the very first from feudalism to capitalism.
