Similarly as with any understudies in the classroom an instructor must ensure they keep documentation on the numerous subtle elements of what goes on, yet with our extremely introverted understudies it is required that we record everything about books. We have certain understudies that we need to utilize this documentation to shield ourselves from being blamed for things that we don't do.

...Romantic stories of courtly love were spread throughout Medieval Europe by troubadours and minstrels. These wandering minstrels and troubadors sang ballads about courtly love and were expected to memorize the words of long poems describing valor and the code of chivalry followed by the Medieval knights. This new style of expressive writing transcended everything from ballads of battles and monsters like Beowulf to romantic adventures, such as the Arthurian legends. The romance of courtly love popularized during the Middle Ages was combined with the code of chivalry. There were strict rules of courtly love that were practiced and observed by the members of the courts across Europe during the Middle Ages. These rules allowed knights and ladies to show their admiration regardless of their marital state. It was a common occurrence for a married lady to give a token to a knight of her choice to be worn during a Medieval tournament. Despite the existence of these rules, the parties who started their relationship with such elements would sometimes become deeply involved. A famous example of a relationship which was stirred by courtly love is described in the Legend of King Arthur, where his Queen, Guinevere fell in love with Sir Lancelot. Many illicit court romances were fuelled by such practices. The Comtessa de Dia or Beatritz (born c. 1140) was perhaps the most famous of a small group of trobairitz, or female troubadours who wrote songs of courtly love during the twelfth and...

...Seen by most as the birthmark of French Literature, as well as perhaps the greatest and oldest chanson de geste (epically heroic poems that began to appear in the late eleventh century), La Chanson de Roland is undoubtedly a landmark in Medieval Literature. It celebrates the heroic feats of count Roland, Charlemagne’s nephew and right-hand, in serving his country, his king and his faith. A large variety of themes, including religion, faith, loyalty, bravery and heroism, amongst others, recur throughout La Chanson de Roland. I intend to draw upon a few of these themes, paying particular attention to what is considered by most as the climax of the chanson, Roland’s death; more specifically, laisses CLXXI and CLXXII. The importance given to Christian faith and God is both evident and undeniable throughout the chanson, and portrayed quite accurately in laisses CLXXI and CLXXII. For instance, Roland’s plea for help to ‘Sainte Marie’, to an extent, indicates this. Despite Roland's inherent stubbornness and arguably excessive pride, seen, for instance, through his reluctance to blow the Oliphant knowing that defeat was imminent, he doesn’t hesitate in seeking both comfort and help from celestial powers. Further religious importance is revealed through the divine powers Charlemagne is accredited: ‘Carles esteit es vals de Moriane, Quant Deus del cel li mandat par sun angle’. Here, as with his prophetic dreams, Charlemagne, the king, someone who would have been widely admired, and...

...Tanya Spinella 2-18-11 History 102 Essay # 1 The feudal system of Europe was created in response to a need by the king of the Franks, Charles Martel, to pay his warriors. Martel began to give fiefs owned by the church, in return for a well-trained vessel to protect his kingdom from the Moors, who were threatening their attack. This system, feudalism, is a hierarchical structure used to govern and oppress the peasants. The Catholic church played a major role in the upholding of the feudal system by threatening excommunication to the lowly servants of God. The end of feudalism was a gradual happening caused by the Black Death, the commercial revolution, and humanism in European Society resulting in the enlightened, free thinking peoples of the Renaissance. The Black Death was one of the leading causes for the disintegration of the feudal system. Also known as the Bubonic Plague, the Black Death originated in China in the early 1000’s A.D.[1] The epidemic spread to Europe around 1347 A.D. killing two-thirds of the population. Denser populated areas of Europe, like London, were affected the most however; because of it’s crowded towns, and poorer families housing at least twelve people, the black plague swept through these places easily. [2] Because of the drastic drop off in population, new opportunities began to present themselves to the once hapless citizens who survived the bubonic plague. An increase in available land was one of these many benefits resulting in more crop...

...The Song of Roland is a French poem written between 1040 and 1115. The poem, considered a medieval literature, is based on a battle that took place in 788 A.D involving the army of Charlemagne and the Saracens . The poem was originally written as propaganda and to provide a certain version of historical truth. Embodied within the poetry are the characters of Roland and Oliver. Despite the name of the song, the analysis of both characters illustrates that both Roland and Oliver can be considered heroic to the extent that each character reflects certain attributes of what is considered a hero in medieval literature. Nonetheless it is also possible that one character may possess more heroic qualities than another. This essay firstly examines the notion of a hero in relation to medieval literature. Secondly, the figures of Roland and Oliver are compared to show how both these characters shed light on the nature of medieval heroic ideals. The song of Roland portrays the quality of a medieval hero through the dichotomy of the two characters. The characterisations of Roland and Oliver sheds light on the nature of medieval heroic ideals in that, to be a complete hero, one needs to possess all the traits which both Roland and Oliver possess. However the poet recognises that no one man can possess all such traits thus resulting in a tragic dichotomy of ideals. However one character may be considered more of a hero than another, and as argued by Fraser, Roland can ultimately be viewed...

...AN EXPLANATION OF AUGUSTINE’S CONCEPTION OF THE CITY OF GOD, A DICHOTOMY BETWEEN THE HEAVENLY CITY AND EARTHLY CITY. St. Augustine was an influential philosopher who lived in the fourth and fifth century AD. He conceived the world to be made up of two cities namely the earthly city and the heavenly city (the city of God). The city of God as conceived by Augustine is founded on the hope of heavenly peace and spiritual salvation. The main purpose of the city of God is to save mankind from sin and sufferings. This city is inhabited by holy persons and angels sacrificing self-interest and worshiping God only. These angels and holy persons do not look after their personal interest and have great regard for morality and ethics. The earthly city on the other hand was conceived by Augustine to be founded on appetitive and possessive impulses that are found in the lower categories of animals. The inhabitants of the earthly city are basically concerned with their personal interest. They do not have regard for morality, virtue and ethics. The inhabitants of the earthly city are usually willing to do anything so long as their parochial interest will be served. The inhabitants of the earthly city are more or less slaves of their desires and thus forget the will and wishes of God. They also forget to worship him. The behavior and attitude of the inhabitants of the heavenly city is that of goodliness and sacrifice. Because the heavenly city is inhabited by angels and holy persons, goodliness...

...His name may not be as common as Socrates or Plato, but Boethius’s work in philosophy and logic deserves a place in bookshelves right along these titans of thought and contemplation. Anicius Manlius Severinus Boethius (born: circa 475–7 C.E., died: 526? C.E.) has long been recognized as one of the most important intermediaries between ancient philosophy and the Latin Middle Ages. The senator, philosopher, and prisoner spent his life in Rome. He belonged to the ancient Roman family of the Anicii, which had been Christian for about a century and of which Emperor Olybrius had been a member. Boethius’s father had been consul in 487 but died soon afterward, and Boethius was raised by Quintus Aurelius Memmius Symmachus, whose daughter Rusticiana he married. He became consul in 510 under the Ostrogothic king Theodoric. Although little of Boethius’s education is known, he was evidently well trained in Greek. His everlasting work, The Consolation of Philosophy, was written while he was awaiting an execution for treason he may not have even committed. Many people consider The Consolation of Philosophy one of the most time proven works of philosophy ever. This work helped to reshape numerous popular ideas in Europe at the time, and many of its principles still hold true even today. It is thought many believe that it is a commentary on Christianity even though it never mentions Christianity in itself; however it does lend itself towards Christian beliefs and Boethius was also known for...

...Classical Greece”, 2014). Greek artists in the 5th century, BC began to realistically imitate humans and animals through art (Boardman, 2012). These Greek artists gained a better understanding of anatomy and the human body’s mechanics, giving them the ability to realistically render the human form in multiple positions without appearing awkward. Logic was valued over emotion in sculptures. This means that facial expressions were typically emotionless, unless the person/deity being portrayed was considered barbaric, in which case, emotional characteristics took over the face of the sculpture (“History of Greece: Classical Greece”, 2014). The Middle Ages The time period of the Middle Ages fell between the 5th and 15th centuries. Although medieval life is glamorized by film, life in this time period was not as...

...The Black Death Imagine that within the next few months one third of your community, family and closest friends would be dead. That is what life was like when the bubonic plague took hold of Europe. Within three years nearly half of the European population was killed off. Like most sad stories, the tragedy of the bubonic plague has a silver lining. The drastic change in population destroyed the feudal system, allowed freedom of thought and gave birth to a new middle class. There was nothing pretty about the bubonic plague. It likely came from China and was carried to Europe by a few merchants and the rats/fleas that came with them on the ships. Once an individual caught the disease they had approximately 4 days to live. On the first day you would feel sick and start to develop patches of swelling. On the second day you might begin to vomit, developed a fever and the swellings would grow. On the third day bleeding under the skin would begin appearing and an unpleasant odor would arise. On the fourth day the illness attacked the nervous system, convulsions begin. Most people died on the fourth day. The disease was so contagious that nearly everyone who came into contact with a victim would also be dead in a matter of days. Before the days of the plague Europe operated on the Feudal system which basically involved three parties; the church, nobility and serfs. The lords owned all of the land while the vassals and serfs farmed it, in turn paying very...

Towota, New Jersey: Manchester UP, 1977. This rather compressed study covers an amazing variety of sources, taking up how numerous periods of literary scholars commented on courtly love, the various locations where courtly love arose in the medieval period (and why), and how the significance of courtly love itself has been understood across time, geography, and literary movements. Eventually, after surveying the field, Boase argues that courtly love appear on behalf of as a wide-reaching traditional trend, arising predominantly in a court-based Christian culture, influenced by predominantly Spanish (and relatedly, Arabic) concepts of love and relationships between men and women. He detects courtly love strictly in the fictive world of poetry, denying that any person actually meant to apply its principles to the ‘real-world’ – this element of ‘play’ recognized courtly love as an acceptable aristocratic manifestation of passion. Cherchi, Paolo. “The Ambiguity of Courtly Love in Andreas Capellanus’ Model.” Andreas and the Ambiguity of Courtly Love. Toronto: U of Toronto P, 1994. 3-41.

...9/13/09 AP Assignment Number 2 3) The arrival of the Fourteenth Century brought tremendous and nearly inconceivable plague and famine. A gradual change in weather resulted in poor agricultural production, whose ultimate consequence was inadequate amounts of food for the people. Additionally, at this time in European history (late 13th, early 14th century) there had been a spike in population, so much so that Europe could not approach meeting people’s needs. Many people of this time moved from rural areas to urban cities in search of economic opportunity. Unfortunately, even in the cities economic opportunity was scarce and elusive resulting in vast penury. While many effects existed as a result of the famine, perhaps most paramount amongst them was plague. As previously mentioned, agricultural production was at record lows, and often, food scarcity is followed by malnutrition, which is then followed by disease. The Black Death as it would later be called, spread like wildfire throughout Europe sparing no one in its rancorous path. People, based on innate exigency, needed to find the source of the plague. Some groups such as the flagellant people believed G-d had sent the plague to condemn people’s sins, others who did not accept this approach needed a scapegoat. Their scapegoat was the ever so convenient Jews. During this time period economic uncertainty and social discontent was common. Labor shortages and limited demand for goods contributed to a declining economy, while...

The Black Plague was one of the deadliest epidemics in human history, peaking in Europe between 1348 and 1350. It is said to most likely have been carried by Oriental rat fleas living on black rats who got onto merchant ships. Thousands of people suffered a painful death that dramatically decreased the population in and around Europe. The plague created a series of religious, social, and economic conflicts, all profound effects on the course of European history. At the time the Black Plague affected Europe, the church’s authority was an...

...Black Death The Black Death struck Europe in the spring of 1348. The Black Death killed off 60% of Europe’s population. This plague would kill fast, and had three different forms. The plague was incredibly painful to go through. The Black Death was unlike anything anyone had ever seen, so a lot of the people of Europe thought that god was punishing them for their wrong doings. The Black Death was air born and if you so much as cough or sneezed on someone, while you had the plague you had just infected them. Doctors put flowers in their beak shaped masks to protect them from the plague, because the plague was air born they thought that if they put flowers in there masks they wouldn’t breathe the same air as the victims. The Black Death started in the east and then came to Europe’s shores in the spring of 1348. The people of Europe would go to the ships and find all of the ships passengers were dead, this was a concern so they checked it out, once they found out it was the plague it was too late, the plague was already spreading. The Black Death is a deadly plague that starts with a flea. These fleas would attack rats that have the plague. Fleas would drink some of their blood and then hop on to a human and puke on them. This would infect humans with the plague. There are three different forms of the plague. The most common form was the bubonic variant, this form of the plague made the victim get swells or buboes. These swells are about the size of an apple or an egg...
