Medieval Period

Edward the Confessor (1042 - 1066) allegedly promised his kingdom to William, Duke of Normandy. On Edward's death, William invaded England to take what he considered rightfully his. This he did at the Battle of Hastings on 14th October, 1066, killing Harold II in the process. William took over the country and installed his own nobles on Saxon estates. To check up on what he actually had, he instigated the famous Domesday Book, listing every holding in the land.

Socio-politic

The conflict was between France and England lasting 116 years, though there were long periods between battles.

It was fought primarily over claims by the English kings to the French throne.

It was started by Edward III (his mother was the daughter of the French King Philip IV).

What is feudalism?

Feudalism: “hierarchical system of government in which local lords governed their own lands but owed military service and other support to a greater lord.”

Feudalism (social system)

The king had plenty of land; but he could not control it all. So he gave land to lords (barons) in exchange for protection, loyalty and $.Lords then gave their land to knights in exchange for protection, service at war, loyalty and $.Knights let serfs (peasants) work the land and they got protection, food and shelter.

Problem with the feudalism

No strong central government: › King must ask his lords for knights in time

of war› King must ask his lords for money to pay

for things› Lords hold most of the power› Lords constantly fighting among

themselves.

ReligionReligion was important in Medieval England. The two largest religions in medieval England were Roman Catholic and Protestant. Roman Catholic was of course brought to England by the Romans. You will learn about Apostolic and apostolic succession, the catholic views on the bible, their views on salvation, and the powers of the church. Martin Luther was the leader of the protestant movement. You will learn about the protestant beliefs and history. However many protestant beliefs are the same as the Catholics.

Roman Catholic

Apostolicity and Apostolic SuccessionOne of the main ideas of this doctrine was whether they were apostolic. This is where the church was trying to maintain the most authentic teachings and practices that were approved by the apostles (The 12 disciples).  In medieval England the most important idea about the church was that Peter was the first pope ordained by Jesus himself. The church believed that all the popes after Peter saying any one could understand the bible by themselves. This challenge to the catholic religion on this point allowed people to question the catholic views about revelation, church doctrine, and God’s will.Source :

Roman Catholic

Powers of the ChurchSince the people believed in Heaven, Hell, and Purgatory the church used this to there advantage by claiming they held the keys to heaven and hell. They virtually had control of every one in England. They could send you to one of these places using the Office of the Keys, Sacraments, Excommunication, and Sales of Indulgences.

Protestantism

HistoryThe Lutheran movement was the first protestant movement led by Martin Luther who protested certain practices of the Roman Catholics. It spread rapidly through half of Europe. Lutherans largely agreed on the importance of faith and the authority of the bible. Protestantism began as a series of semi-independent religious movement. These movements resembled each other in their rejection of Catholicism, and because of this the Pope excommunicated all those who followed the protestant movement.

Protestantism

BeliefsProtestants share most Christian beliefs with Catholicism and the eastern orthodox religions. They believe there is only one god and they believe in the trinity (The Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost). However, they disagree on the faith in god and grace of god and the authority of the bible. Unlike Catholics the Protestants believe you only need faith in god to be saved. They believe that god is all gracious and that people are incapable of saving their selves. Therefore, they are saved by the grace of god and his grace comes from Jesus dying on the cross. Most Protestants believe that the bible should be the only authortive document of their religion. They also believe in heaven and hell but not purgatory. Heaven is obtained by having faith in god that you ask for redemption of your sin sand that you claim Jesus as your savior. Hell is a place of eternal torture where those who do not have faith go. However, some people believe that the bible refers to purgatory by Abraham’s Bosom.

Literature

The Middle Ages saw the beginnings of a rebirth in literature. Early medieval books were painstakingly hand-copied and illustrated by monks. Paper was a rarity, with vellum, made from calf's skin, and parchment, made from lamb's skin, were the media of choice for writing. Students learning to write used wooden tablets covered in green or black wax. The greatest number of books during this era were bound with plain wooden boards, or with simple tooled leather for more expensive volumes.

The Canterbury Tales

THE MERCHANT (Modern English)There was a merchant with forked beard, and girtIn motley gown, and high on horse he sat,Upon his head a Flemish beaver hat;His boots were fastened rather elegantly.His spoke his notions out right pompously,Stressing the times when he had won, not lost.He would the sea were held at any costAcross from Middleburgh to Orwell town.At money-changing he could make a crown.This worthy man kept all his wits well set;There was no one could say he was in debt,So well he governed all his trade affairsWith bargains and with borrowings and with shares.Indeed, he was a worthy man withal,But, sooth to say, his name I can't recall.

THE CLERK (Modern English)A clerk from Oxford was with us also,Who'd turned to getting knowledge, long ago.As meagre was his horse as is a rake,Nor he himself too fat, I'll undertake,But he looked hollow and went soberly.Right threadbare was his overcoat; for heHad got him yet no churchly benefice,Nor was so worldly as to gain office.For he would rather have at his bed's headSome twenty books, all bound in black and red,Of Aristotle and his philosophyThan rich robes, fiddle, or gay psaltery.Yet, and for all he was philosopher,He had but little gold within his coffer;But all that he might borrow from a friendOn books and learning he would swiftly spend,And then he'd pray right busily for the soulsOf those who gave him wherewithal for schools.Of study took he utmost care and heed.Not one word spoke he more than was his need;And that was said in fullest reverenceAnd short and quick and full of high good sense.Pregnant of moral virtue was his speech;And gladly would he learn and gladly teach.

Fragment IVThe Merchant’s Tale

About a sixty-year old knight who decides he should marry a wife. The meaning of love, marriage, truth and faithfulness are being discussed

The Clerk’s TaleAbout a marquis called Walter. Lord Walter is a bachelor who is asked by his subjects to marry in order to provide a heir. Lord Walter assents and marries a poor girl called Griselda. After some time, Walter starts testing Griselda's patience. Ultimately, the clerk's tale is about unconditional female submissiveness.

THE LEGEND OFGOOD WOMEN

The Legend of Good Women is more about bad men than good women. The power of the men increases in the progression of tales, from a rebel youth to a king; simultaneously from the active Cleopatra (and more interest in Antony and the sea-battle anyway) to the passive Hypermnestra. Hypsipyle and Medea are crammed together because of one man, Jason.

Wycliffe Bible The Wycliffe Bible is a

great landmark in the history of the Bible and the English language. The first and literal translation of the Latin Vulgate Bible into the English language was done mostly by Wycliffe's followers, notably Nicholas Hereford. The better revision was done in 1395 directed by John Purvey..

DESCRIPTION OF THE CONTRARIOUS

PASSIONS IN A LOVER. 2

FIND no peace, and all my war is done ; I fear and hope, I burn, and freeze like       ice ;I fly aloft, yet can I not arise ;And nought I have, and all the world I seize on,That locks nor loseth, holdeth me in prison,And holds me not, yet can I scape no wise :Nor lets me live, nor die, at my devise,And yet of death it giveth me occasion.Without eye I see ; without tongue I plain :I wish to perish, yet I ask for health ;I love another, and thus I hate myself ;I feed me in sorrow, and laugh in all my pain.    Lo, thus displeaseth me both death and life,    And my delight is causer of this strife.

2  In imitation of Petrarch, Son. 104. This sonnet will be found, with some variations, in Nugæ Antiquæ, ed. 1769,vol. i. p. 169, and in Davison's Poems, ed. 1621, book ii.Canzon. viii. p. 108.

THE LOVER DESPAIRING TO ATTAIN UNTO

HOSO list to hunt ? I know where is an             hind !   But as for me, alas !  I may no more,The vain travail hath wearied me so sore ;I am of them that furthest come behind.Yet may I by no means my wearied mindDraw from the deer ; but as she fleeth aforeFainting I follow ; I leave off therefore,Since in a net I seek to hold the wind.Who list her hunt, I put him out of doubtAs well as I, may spend his time in vain !And graven with diamonds in letters plain,There is written her fair neck round about ;    ' Noli me tangere ; for Cæsar's I am,And wild for to hold, though I seem tame.'

[AJ Notes: Thought to be about Anne Boleyn, with whom     Wyatt had a relationship before the King      became interested in her.Noli me tangere, "touch me not." ]

HIS LADY'S GRACE RELINQUISHETH THE PURSUIT.
