THE NATURE OF FEUDALISM
5.
6. FEUDAL KINGS
have no real power over
their vassals.
He was a landlord too,
collecting taxes from
their lands and a few cities
they
have in power.
King, knights and the Church
Were united by feudal
allegiances (vassals), but
they used
to fight each other
In theory, nobles were vassals of
Feudal kings, but kings had no real
Power over them.
10. THE CHURCH
The clergy was a priviledged estate,
He had spiritual and cultural functions
In the Middle Age.
They were not born in this estate,
But come from other estates, nobility
And peasants too.
12. ORATORES BELLATORES LABRATORES
La sociedad está dividida en tres órdenes. Aparte de la iglesia,
la ley reconoce otras dos condiciones: el noble y el siervo que no
se rigen por la misma ley. Los nobles son los guerreros, los
protectores de las iglesias. Defienden a todo el pueblo, a los
grandes lo mismo que a los pequeños y al mismo tiempo se
protegen a ellos mismos. La otra clase es la de los siervos. Esta
raza de desgraciados no posee nada sin sufrimiento. Provisiones
y vestidos son suministradas a todos por ellos, pues los hombres
libres no pueden valerse sin ellos. Así, pues, la ciudad de Dios que
es tenida como una, en realidad es triple. Unos rezan, otros luchan
y otros trabajan. Los tres órdenes viven juntos y no sufrirían una
separación. Los servicios de cada uno de estos órdenes permite
los trabajos de los otros dos. Y cada uno a su vez presta apoyo a
los demás.

24. Improvements after 11th century
From the old Roman
plough…
Very light, not useful
for hard soils…
To the new
Norman plough…
Stronger, easy to
carry by beasts…
31. The main labour for
monasteries in the early
Middle Age was the copy
of classical works.
Books made by hand,
with miniatures.
