Mandrini Mateo 2°:
ReplyDeleteThe feudal system was a way of government based on obligations between the lord or king and vassal.
The king gave large estates to his friends and relatives. These estates known as the fief included houses, barns, tools, animals, and serfs or peasants. The king also promised to protect the vassal on the field or in the courts. In return the nobles who were granted the fiefs swore an oath of loyalty to the king. The nobles promised never to fight against the king. They also had to give the king whatever he asked for. The king may ask for men to fight a war, money, or advice. The nobles also gave the king a place to stay when he traveled.

ReplyDeleteKing John and The Carta Magna
The Carta Magna was signed by King John, who was under pressure to do so, in 1215, in England. Drawn up by English barons who were angered by the king's encroachment on their rights, the charter insured personal liberty and putting forth the rights of the individual which include the guarantee of a trial by jury.
This document asserted the rights of the barons, churchmen, and townspeople, and provided for the king's assurance that he would not encroach on their privileges. The Carta stipulated that the king, was subject to the laws of the land.
The Carta Magna made a provision for a Great Council, which credited with laying the foundation for a parliamentary government in England. When King John died, the Carta Magna was upheld as the basis of English feudal justice. It is still considered to be the cornerstone of constitutional government.

ReplyDeleteThe 1215 charter required King John to proclaim certain liberties and accept that his will was not arbitrary—for example by explicitly accepting that no "freeman" could be punished except through the law of the land, a right that still exists.
The name Runnymede may be derived from the Anglo-Saxon, describing a place in the meadows used to hold regular meetings. The Witan, Witenagemot or Council of the Anglo-Saxon kings of the 7th to 11th centuries was held from time to time at Runnymede during the reign of Alfred the Great. The Council met usually in the open air. This political organ was transformed in succeeding years, influencing the creation of England's 13th century parliament.

ReplyDeleteRenaissance art and medieval art different in what they represent. Medieval art mainly depicts religious themes and portraits of kings and queens. Renaissance art depicts a pleasure in living and loving the life we live. This mindset had already come to exist in Italy in the 1400's and slowly spread throughout Europe in the 1500's and 1600's. Renaissance art depicts more images of every day life, as well as images from antiquity, like Roman and Greek Gods. Afterall, Renaissance is French for 'rebirth,' so the Renaissance was the rebirth of these concepts after everyone had lived through the Dark Ages.

POST 1 B) LIFE IN A MEDIEVAL MANOR.
ReplyDeleteThe medieval manor was an agricultural estate, a village that it was leased to a Baron by the King. It had two classes of people that lived there, the villains and the lords.
The largest amount of land on the manor was used by the villains. Their houses were surrounded by a yard called a 'toft' and a garden called a 'croft'. This land was used to grow crops and vegetables, and a percentage of which would be given to a knight as 'payment' for their land. Villain’s houses were one-roomed and the family shared the space with the animals.
And a lord, the one that lived in the manor house, who owned or controlled the estate. Manor houses were large, showing the wealth and status of the Lord. They were mainly self-sufficient, growing their own food and keeping animals in the grounds surrounding the house.

Post 2: B- Magma Carta (great charter)
Delete-John had a bad reputation as a king
- He was effective at collecting taxes for war
- He was unsuccesfull in 3 key areas.
1) war 2) relations with the church 2) relations with the barons.
The discounted with john came to a head in 1215.Many barons forced him to sign Magna Carta.However john went back of his word and went to war against barons, so carta magna never really went into operation in john´s reign
From Magna Carta to the first Parliament:
Civil war continued until john died in October 1216.
John´s son was Henry III, he also crashed with the barons over Magna Carta.
In 1238 the Barons forced him to rule with advice of a great consoul of Barons.
There was a civil war again-barons led by Simon.
1264-Simon defeated Henry III and forced him to accept a new type of Great council, it included rich merchants and farmers, also great lords and bishops.
-Simon was killed in 1265
1295-England had a new king, Edward I. He needed money for war and called the great council to agree in the way of rasing money without civil war.
By that time the Great Council was known as "Parlamient" ( a place to talk). People who came to the parliament represented their towns, countries etc.

ReplyDeleteThe feudal system was the first government system used in Medieval Europe. It worked as a chain of command, where everyone who was cosindered part of the system had the control of the ones who were below them and had to obey the ones who were above them. The most powerful of the chain was the king or someone with a similar title. Below him were the vassals which had large extensions of land (given by the king as a payment for their services). This services included paying taxes, supporting him politically and providing soldiers in times of war. The same chain of feudal system existed in a Baron's or Count's land (in a smaller scale). The lord would give a small piece of his land for farming and to each of his knights, in return for their loyalty to him in wartime,

While he was King , he was accused for many thing like for a murder .In 1204 his army loose a battle in North france , what made him retreat and increase de taxes to pay for the defeat.
John succeeded failing because of many mistakes(like the ralation with the church).In 1214 he was defeated in another battle that made england lost all their possesions. This was to much for the barons and they rebelled

DeleteKing John: 1167-1216.
John was forced to sign the Magna Carta at Runnymede in 1215. This guaranteed the people of England rights that the king could not go back on. In 1216, he tried to go back on the Magna Carta but this only provoked the barons into declaring war on him.By 1216, John was ill. During the war, he suffered from dysentery. He also lost all of his treasure when he tried to take a shortcut across a stretch of water in the Wash, Lincolnshire. Just a few days later, John died.
King Richard: 1157-1199
Richardhe fought with his family, joining them in the great rebellion against their father in 1173. In 1183 his brother Henry died, leaving Richard heir to the throne. His last five years were spent in intermittent warfare against Philip II. While besieging the castle of Châlus in central France he was fatally wounded and died on 6 April 1199.
Crusades:
Some of the Robin Hood candidates who have been suggested have been knights fighting in the Crusades throughout the Middle Ages in foreign lands.
First Crusade in 1099 recapture of Jerusalem from the Seljuk Turks, Godfery Bouillon presided over the massacre of every single person in the city with the exception of the Saracen commander and his personal retinue who were given safe conduct.
One of the greatest scandals of the age resulted from the recruitment of such men in the “Crusade” against the city of Alexandria in 1365. The mercenaries sacked the city, slaughtered thousands of its inhabitants (including many Christians) stole as much loot as they could carry and then went home, with the result that the city fell back into the hands of “the Infidel” within days of its conquest.

We use the term feudal system when we're talking about the way society was structured in medieval Europe. Military, social, and political customs all followed the feudal system, in which land was exchanged for work.
In a feudal system, a peasant or worker known as a vassal received a piece of land in return for serving a lord or king, especially during times of war. Vassals were expected to perform various duties in exchange for their own fiefs, or areas of land. The term feudal system wasn't used until 1776, and it came from the Latin word feudum, or "feudal estate."

The Magna Carta is an angevin charter. It was sealed under oath by King John at Runnymede, on the bank of the River Thames near Windsor, England at June 15, 1215.
The Magna Carta is one of the most important documents in history. It guaranteed the people certain rights, and bound the king to certain laws.
The importance of Magna Carta:
Why was it so important? Because the Magna Carta limited the power of English Monarchs, specifically King John, from absolute rule. Once he signed it he didn’t have so much power as he used to have because the Magna Carta required the king to renounce certain rights, respect certain legal procedures, and to accept that the will of the king could be bound by law.
The Magna Carta was the first step in a long historical process leading to the rule of constitutional law.

ReplyDeleteThe parcel of land leased to a Baron by the King was known as a manor.
Under the Feudal System, the Baron had complete control of the running of the manor provided he met certain obligations set by the King.
Castles
Pevensey Castle
Most of the Barons who were given land by William the Conqueror, following his invasion and conquest of England in 1066, were French. They knew that many Saxons would be hostile to them and so they had to make sure that they could defend themselves. Many chose to build castles on their land and fill them with knights who, under the Feudal System, were bound to protect the Baron and his family. Others established large manor houses.
The Church
Pevensey Church
The church was another central feature of the manor. The religion of the whole of Europe was Roman Catholic and it was law that people went to church on a Sunday. The leading churchmen of the land, Bishops and Archbishops were very wealthy and helped to govern the country. The local priests, however, were much poorer and were often uneducated. It was the priest's job to look after the sick of the village as well as preaching in the church
Manor House
The manor house was the home of the Baron. Manor houses were large, reflecting the wealth and status of the Lord. They often comprised several buildings and were mainly self-sufficient, growing their own food and keeping animals in the grounds surrounding the house.
Villeins (serfs, peasants)
Peasant and plough
The largest amount of land on the manor would be used by the villeins. Their house would be surrounded by a yard called a 'toft' and a garden called a 'croft'. This land would be used for growing crops and vegetables, a percentage of which would be given to a knight as 'payment' for their land. Villein's houses were one-roomed and the family shared the space with the animals.

ReplyDeleteWhen the crusades came to England (XVII), King Richard went to defend his country but died. King John was his brother. He became king when Richard died. He was a very bad and unfair king. He had too much power over the peasants, knights ang barons. They also called the king by the name of John Lackland. Beacause he lost a lot of his land. The barons were fed up of King John, so they thought that they had to take some power of John. John was made to sign ,under preasure, a document called the Magna Carta. The Magna Carta was a document that left some power for the nobles. This document gave the start to parliament. Since that day England still uses parliament.

Life in medieval manor
The medieval manor was an agricultural estate. It was usually comprised of tracts of agricultural land, a village whose inhabitants worked that land, and a manor house where the lord who owned or controlled the estate lived.
the manor house was an informal collection of wood or stone buildings including a chapel, kitchen, farm buildings and, the hall. The hall served as the meeting place for village business and was where the manorial court was held. As the centuries passed, manor houses became more strongly defended and took on some of the features of castles, including fortified walls, towers, and even moats.
Manors were sometimes given to knights as a way to support them as they served their king. Medieval manor houses were owned by Medieval England's wealthy those who were at or near the top of the feudal system. Few original Medieval manor houses still exist as many manor houses were built onto over the next centuries. For this reason, you have to look at Tudor and Stuart manors to find where Medieval architecture existed and where it was 'improved'.

ReplyDeleteKing John has been betrayed by his nephew, Arthur who, backed by the French King, was conducting a rebellion. The King of France demands that he surrender his throne but, instead, John sends a force against the him under Philip Faulconbridge. The armies clash at Angiers but there is no decisive victory. John makes a peace settlement with the French King.
King John is known as lackland because he has no land given to him and loses land that belongs to England. He taxes his people more to pay for the cost of the war with the French. The Barons did not like paying higher taxes so they force the King to sign a charter. This charter (the Magna Carta) gives legal rights to the Barons and also forces the King to abide by the law. This was the first time in English history that a King has to live under the same laws as others in the kingdom. King John signs the Magna Carta because he sees that he is on the losing side and is outnumbered by those who want him to sign it.
