Q4 Daily Class Work 26

Test on Feudalism was held

Q4 Daily Class Work 25

We reviewed our time and exam preparation

Pg. 191


If I wanted to ace the Feudalism test,

I would look up the following terms in Chapter 11 in the textbook:

Feudalism - governmental system and the relationship and social between landowners and warriors

feudal compact- the official deal/contract between the vassal and the lord

fief- piece of land given to a knight

vassal- a knight that becomes a servantish worker person for a lord, but is still highly respected

knight – warrior at the time

homage - kneeling down and taking the lord's hand in his while speaking an oath of loyalty. Promising his loyalty

serf –Lowest on the social hierarchy. The quality of their life was not much better than a slave. They were the lowest of the peasants.

baron- lords of large territories who usually paid homage to the king. Barons army could outnumber that of a king. higher than a lord. 

peasantry- common people

estates- there were three different estates: the clergy-they were the ones who prayed; the nobility-fight and the common people- worked

manor- large plantations known the peasantry farmed on. They which were owned by a lord or lady, the nobility, or a member of the clergy

three-field-system- three sets of crops but only grew two at a time 

internal colonization

guild – groups of people who did different things

master- person in charge of you                                               

journeyman

apprentice – someone learning the ropes

masterpiece

water mill

and yes, iron plow – a tool they used in the middle ages for plowing the land

Q4 Daily Class Work 24

We went over a new topic about Feudalism.

• Feudalism- governmental system and the relationships between landowners and warriors

• Warriors, or knights, would pledge his allegiance o the lord, who would in turn give that knight land

• The lord would grant a fief (property) to the knight who would then become the lords vassal /servant 

• Fief is a part old the land given to a knight

• Then you became a lords vassal (servantish)

• A vassal must fight for the lord when he needs a it and attend his curt once a month

• Homage and knighthood\a vassal had to pay homage to his lord which meant kneeling down and taking the lord's hand in his while speaking an oath of loyalty

• When a knight died his fief would be given to his son

• Some clergy priests were known to fight as knights

• Barons were lords of large territories who usually paid homage to the king

• A barons army could outnumber that of a king

• Peasants and lords

• The manorial estate

• Medieval society was divided into three "estates": the clergy the nobility and the common people

• Usually the peasantry farmed on large plantations known as "manors" which were owned by a lord or lady the nobility or a member of the clergy

• They didn't really know how bad they had it because they didn't really interact with other classes of people

• People of the manor

• The lord oversaw major agricultural issues buy delegated everyday overseeing to this stewards or bailiffs

• MOST peasants were serfs

• They were bound to their lords for labor services behind the plow

• Growth o trade

• The agricultural boom after 1000 years allowed for the establishment of many town across Europe

• Farm produce and animal were sold in towns and people with the wealth bought their luxury items there

• The location and appearance of towns

• Most medieval towns were surrounded by fortified walls

• Residences also sprang up outside the walls in the suburbs

• Towns  were dominated by a main church and a central marketplace buildings for the craft guilds and the  center of the town

• Buildings for the craft builds and the wealthiest families would also be center of town

• Life of the townspeople

• Thought the townspeople were free unlike serfs they still had a hierarchy merchants at the top then skilled crafts man and artisan then unskilled laborers apprentices

•  the guilds were their unions

• merchants, crafts man and artisans formed their own groups called guilds which regulated their trade protected its members

•  craftsmen were classified as masters, journeyman and apprentices

• One became a master after spending years learning as an apprentice working as a paid journeyman for a number of years, and completing his "masterpiece"

• Guilds participated in religious feasts and festivals social organizations and usually provided well for charities

Mr. Shick gave our test's and quiz's back to us to review them. Our class average was extremely low, although I got a hundred on the test. we will have next and final test on friday. I shall prepare for that.

NOTES on After Rome 500 - 700

Germanic Kingdoms of Western Europe

 

The Germanic Barbarians

• Barbarian warlords and their families who assimilated into Roman culture became the “nobles” or aristocrats of medieval Europe

 

• Germanic tribes who ruled former Roman lands sought to conquer and assimilate other barbarian peoples who lived beyond the frontiers and were still pagans

 

More on Germanic Kingdoms

 

• The Angles and the Saxons (from Denmark and northwestern Germany) invaded Britain and assimilated the native Britons

 

• Most of the Anglo-Saxons were converted to Christianity in the seventh century

 

• The most powerful Germanic tribe was the Franks

 

• but the real power lay with the “mayors of the palace” who were royal officials and nobles themselves

 

Mean while, back in the Eastern Empire.

 

From “Eastern Empire” to “Byzantium”

 

• The Eastern Roman Empire continued on while the west was now divided up by the barbarian tribes

 

• When the emperor Justinian came to power in 527, he decided to reunite the entire Roman Empire by re-conquering the western territories

 

• Justinian succeeded for a time, but the land he re-took was soon conquered by new barbarian tribes and a massive plague depopulated much of the west

 

 

It's a Christian Empire now

 

 

• Greek Byzantine emperors saw themselves as Roman emperors and the heads of the Christian Church

 

• Byzantines preserved Greco-Roman art, architecture, philosophy and writing despite much of it being non-Christian

 

• Justinian built the massive domed Hagia Sophia ("Holy Wisdom") in Constantinople, considered to be the most glorious church on earth at the time

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Q4 Daily Class Work 22

In class, we quickly went over material that we've learnt last class. Then we took a pop quiz. After all, we took notes on the powerpoint. 

Q4 Daily Class Work 21

We went over the PowerPoint on Diocletian and Constantine









Notes on the PowerPoint

peasants can avoid paying taxes, but they are getting hit just as hard by the landlords.


The Western Empire crumbles



Rome's power is decreasing, while nomadic barbarians gain power

Western Empire is too poor, begins to be neglected

Huns migrate from China to eastern Europe

Visigoths take over Spain, and actually capture and loot Rome itself in 410

Vandals control Carthage and the western Mediterranean other barbarian tribes:

Ostrogoth in Italy : The Western Roman Empire was the western half of the Roman Empire, the other half being the Eastern Roman Empire or Byzantine Empire. Administrative division of the sprawling Empire into a Western and Eastern half with co-emperors for each began under Diocletian in 285 and was periodically abolished and recreated for the next two centuries until final abolishment by the Byzantine emperor Zeno in 480. By that time there was little effective control left in the Western Empire.

Franks in Gaul :   




Angles and Saxons in Britain



Invasions


End of Era

From beginnings

500 BC- the Monarchy is abolished
450 BC- the twelve Tables are established


through the glory days....

44BC- end of the line for Julius Ceaser
27BC- 180 AD- the Roman Peace (Pax Romania)

to the bitter end....

Q4 Daily Class Work 18

During class, Mr. Schick let some students to go up front and teach the class about Diocletian and Constantine. Then, Mr. Schick gave us an example of Diocletian's cruelty. 

Q4 Daily Class Work 17

In class, we got our tests back to go over. we then went over a power point




Diocletian persecuted the christian
The questions

1. How did Diocletian persecute Christians?

Diocletian's had created the "Edict against the Christians.” It basically said to destruct all of Christian scriptures and places of worship across the Empire. Also, Christians weren’t allowed to attend any sort of worship gathering. Diocletian later created two more edicts. The first one ordered that any Christians in Nicomedia will be tortured and would be killed as punishment for arson. The second one said that the bishops and teachers of the churches throughout the empire should be taken prisoner and forced by torture to sacrifice to the Roman gods. In 304, a fourth edict made. It stated that all Christians had to offer sacrifices to the gods or else they’d be tortured. About 3,000-3,500 Christians were killed during this period of time.

2. What happened with Constantine and Christians?

Constantine signed an edict allowing his people to practice whatever religion they like. He also donated money to the construction of churches.

3. What is the other thing that Constantine did that has to do with reconstructing the Roman Empire?

He won the battle of Milvian Bridge, issued the edict of Milan, and legalized the Christian’s worship.

Q4 Daily Class Work 10

Mr. shick was angry about his classes that the class average was extremely low. Although I've assumed that alot of students didn't do well by observing some students concentration in class time missing iportant details that Mr. Shick lectured to class.

Q4 HW 2

In class, we quietly written notes on LO2
Mr. Shick was away and a sub was here.

LO2 Notes:

Allies and Colonies

• Created a network of settlers from Rome
• allies provided infantry and cavalry Romans lacked
• Roman colonists shared the same citizenship with people who lived in Rome
• Social Wars

The Punic Wars

• 250 B.C. - Roman methods of conquest and administration paid handsome dividends , all of Italy south of the River Po was in Romans hands
• this success brought Rome into collision with a rival-state beyond the sea
• 700 B.C. - Phoenician colonists was founded
• The Punic Wars were waged on land and sea in 3 vicious rounds between 264 and 146 B.C.
• At the end of the Second Punic War in 202 B.C., Carthage was disarmed and helpless.
• Eventually, fearing a Carthaginian revival, Rome provoked a third war, and in 146 B.C., Carthage was captured after bitter fighting. In a final act of vengeance, the Senate ordered the city

Conquering the Empire

• The former possessions of Carthage in Sicily, Spain, and Africa became the first Roman provinces
• after 27 B.C., that the provinces began to share in the benefits of Roman order.
• some local rulers survived by becoming client kings, bound to Rome by ties of allegiance and support like those between Roman patrons and clients
• in the first century A.D. their kingdoms were mostly absorbed into the empire as normal provinces
• Rome's first involvement was in Greece, and it grew out of a special invitation
• Around 200 B.C., ambassadors from various Greek city-states appealed to Rome for aid in resisting the king of Macedonia, who had been allied with Carthage

Q4 Dailly Class Work 4

Mr. Shick's words......

On Friday, Section 01 will do the Pixton assignment described above. Section 02 and 03 will work independently taking notes on LO-2 in their text, putting the notes in their blog. Section 01 may have begun this work Thursday night; in any case, all sections must have the LO-2 notes, AND the link to their Pixton comic, posted to their blog by midnight Saturday night, so I can view it Sunday morning.

Q4 Daily Class Work 3

Today in Western Civ class we had a sub, Mrs. Magner. Mr. Shick had to take his daughter to college. While he was gone, we paired up into two groups to make the comic. In this comic, we told the story of Romulus and Remus and how they came to be and create the origin of Rome. I partnered up with Gavin. We did it on Gavin's computer because unlike google drive we could not share them on our own computers and in the end we made a quite an adequate comic that was related to Romulus and Remus. Although I didn't get the link from gavins computer because we forgot to do that.

Q4 Dailly Class Work 2

Mr. Shick came in class with unusual appearences. He rapped related to our current learnigs. Than we went over the test that we took last clss




RAP:

Well, you got the Etruscans and the Greeks

But the Latins came first

To the shores of the River Tiber

They drained a swamp (They drained a swamp)

Next thing you know

Livin’ in Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

Now Tarquin’s kinda proud

But he got a little loud (little loud)

They turned around and ran that tyrant outta town (hey!)

Next thing you know (next thing you know)

No kings no more

Happened in Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

 

Hey, we got three governments rolled into one

Patricians and plebeians havin’ some fun

Two consuls gotta be better than one

Brand new republic ready to run

Democracy

Aristocracy

Plus monarchy

Not a tyranny

Ho-o-o-old up wait a minute, do I see what I think I… hey!

That’s a Roman legion clear as day

5000 soldiers not in it for pay

Group of eighty’s a century

On horseback is the cavalry

Shield, sword, dagger, and armor and tunic

Fightin ’gainst Carthage in wars that are Punic

Hannibal riding on elephant back

Crossing the Alps just to launch his attack

So now you get the picture (picture)

All the rich are getting richer (richer)

And they’re livin’ on the latifundia

Farmers can’t cope (They just can’t cope)

They’re low on hope

They moved to Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

I can hear the brothers Gracchus

Sayin, “Rich, please don’t attack us” (don’t attack us)

“We got a feeling that the senators will whack us” (hey!)

They hit the floor (they hit the floor)

Next thing you know

It’s civil war, war, war, war, war, war, war, war

Hey, let me take you back to 60 BC

It’s the start of the rise of Julius C

He grabbed two dudes and he formed a team

It’s a triumvirate -- that’s a group of three

“Crassus (come on), Pompey (come on), I’m JC! (come on)

We three will rule!

What you think I'm playin, baby girl?  I'm the man!

I'm conquering Gaul!”

All of his soldiers gave him their devotion

That’s why he swept over Gaul just like an ocean

Pompey couldn’t understand all the commotion

When he crossed the Rubicon, he kept up motion

It’s just like a potion

Caesar had self-locomotion

Power’s an ambitious emotion

Dictator is not a demotion

It’s promotion

But in 44 BC (BC)

On a day called March 15 (Ides of March)

Brutus and the Senate murdered Julius C

He hit the floor (he hit the floor)

Next thing you know

Caesar’s no more, more, more, more, more, more, more, more

You know he’s so depressed

23 stab wounds in his chest (in his chest)

He saw his friend and he raised one last protest (hey!)

“Et tu, Brute?” (Et tu, Brute?)

That’s what he say

Cuz he felt low, low, low, low, low, low, low, low

 

Only eighteen, Octavian makin’ the scene

He says, “I tell you what,

Got a new triumvirate

Here’s my boy Lepidus

And Mark Antony I trust”

(‘Til Marky met this chick

Cleopatra from Egypt)

Octavian was freakin’

Lust for power started peakin’

“Don’t try to play me or my navy,

At Actium you won’t slay me”

“O” won that game

Did explain

Now Augustus was his name

All his subjects did proclaim

He’s in the Roman Hall of Fame

Twenty-seven BC (BC)

For a couple hundred years (207)

Pax Romana is the word that brings the cheers (Yay!)

They built some roads

Leading to Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome, Rome

Slaves don’t have many rights and

Then there’s gladiator fightin’ (OW!)
