| NOTES: |
THE MIDDLE AGES (30:00) How many oxen is a helmet worth? The implications of this question are studied in the violent era of lords and vassals, as a military aristocracy dominated the kingdoms of Europe. Working the land dominated the yearly rhythms and art of peasant, clergy, knight, and lord. THE FEUDAL ORDER (30:00) The year 1000 A.D. marked a turning point in Europe. Weber discusses the three estates: clergy, nobles, and peasants. The Magna Carta and the Crusades show important changes of the period, and grand new cathedrals demonstrate the Church's growing wealth and importance. |
