Life in the Middle Ages was difficult for most. Peasants lived in poverty as serfs bound to the land, often eating only black bread, lentils, and vegetables. Nobles' lifestyle was not as luxurious as believed, though they ruled from fortified castles built for defense on hills or protective landforms. Boys trained from a young age to become pages and then squires, learning knightly skills until proving themselves in battle and undergoing a ceremony to become a knight, with a code of chivalry emerging in the late 1100s dictating knightly conduct.
Women in Ancient and Medieval Europe Lecture 4 - Osher Lifelong Leaning at UNMCEUNM Continuing Education
Traditionally, classes and textbooks on Western history have had little to say about the lives of women in Western civilization. This lack of attention was largely due to the fact that women were officially excluded from politics and the military in such formative civilizations as Classical Greece and Rome, as well as being excluded from official positions within the early Christian Church. In fact, when women did draw the attention of historians in the Classical and Medieval eras, it was usually because these women were transgressing accepted norms in these male-dominated, hierarchical societies. However, as we now know, women contributed to these early societies in very important ways, not just as wives and mothers but, occasionally, as political leaders and even military figures. In this class, we’ll examine the political, social, and cultural forces that shaped women’s lives, and we’ll examine the lives of a few of the remarkable women who challenged these forces, both successfully and unsuccessfully.

prince must know how to use both these two natures, and that one without the
other has no lasting effect.
Since a prince must know how to use the character of beasts, he should
pick for imitation the fox and the lion. As the lion cannot protect himself from
traps, and the fox cannot defend himself from wolves, you have to be a fox in
order to be wary of traps, and a lion to overawe the wolves. Those who try to
live by the lion alone are badly mistaken. Thus a prudent prince cannot and
should not keep his word when to do so would go against his interest, or when
the reasons that made him pledge it no longer apply. Doubtless if all
good, this rule would be bad; but since they are a sad lot, and keep no faith
with you, you in your turn are under no obligation to keep it with them.
15 Besides, a prince will never lack for legitimate excuses to explain away his
breaches of faith. Modern history will furnish innumerable examples of this
behavior, showing how many treaties and promises have been made null and
void by the faithlessness of princes, and how the man succeeded best who knew
best how to play the fox. But it is a necessary part of this nature that you must
conceal it carefully; you must be a great liar and hypocrite. Men are so simple
of mind, and so much dominated by their immediate needs, that a deceitful
man will always find plenty who are ready to be deceived. One of many recent
pies calls for mention. Alexander VI9 never did anything else, never had
another thought, except to deceive men, and he always found fresh material to
work on. Never was there a man more convincing in his assertions, who sealed
his promises with more solemn oaths, and who observed them less. Yet his
deceptions were always successful, because he knew exactly how to manage
this sort of business.
In actual fact, a prince may not have all the admirable qualities we listed,
that he should seem to have them. Indeed, I will ven-

June 3, 2024 Anti-Semitism Letter Sent to MIT President Kornbluth and MIT Cor...Levi Shapiro
Letter from the Congress of the United States regarding Anti-Semitism sent June 3rd to MIT President Sally Kornbluth, MIT Corp Chair, Mark Gorenberg
Dear Dr. Kornbluth and Mr. Gorenberg,
The US House of Representatives is deeply concerned by ongoing and pervasive acts of antisemitic
harassment and intimidation at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). Failing to act decisively to ensure a safe learning environment for all students would be a grave dereliction of your responsibilities as President of MIT and Chair of the MIT Corporation.
This Congress will not stand idly by and allow an environment hostile to Jewish students to persist. The House believes that your institution is in violation of Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, and the inability or
unwillingness to rectify this violation through action requires accountability.
Postsecondary education is a unique opportunity for students to learn and have their ideas and beliefs challenged. However, universities receiving hundreds of millions of federal funds annually have denied
students that opportunity and have been hijacked to become venues for the promotion of terrorism, antisemitic harassment and intimidation, unlawful encampments, and in some cases, assaults and riots.
The House of Representatives will not countenance the use of federal funds to indoctrinate students into hateful, antisemitic, anti-American supporters of terrorism. Investigations into campus antisemitism by the Committee on Education and the Workforce and the Committee on Ways and Means have been expanded into a Congress-wide probe across all relevant jurisdictions to address this national crisis. The undersigned Committees will conduct oversight into the use of federal funds at MIT and its learning environment under authorities granted to each Committee.
• The Committee on Education and the Workforce has been investigating your institution since December 7, 2023. The Committee has broad jurisdiction over postsecondary education, including its compliance with Title VI of the Civil Rights Act, campus safety concerns over disruptions to the learning environment, and the awarding of federal student aid under the Higher Education Act.
• The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is investigating the sources of funding and other support flowing to groups espousing pro-Hamas propaganda and engaged in antisemitic harassment and intimidation of students. The Committee on Oversight and Accountability is the principal oversight committee of the US House of Representatives and has broad authority to investigate “any matter” at “any time” under House Rule X.
• The Committee on Ways and Means has been investigating several universities since November 15, 2023, when the Committee held a hearing entitled From Ivory Towers to Dark Corners: Investigating the Nexus Between Antisemitism, Tax-Exempt Universities, and Terror Financing. The Committee followed the hearing with letters to those institutions on January 10, 202
