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

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

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

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.
