The book discusses the history, culture, and artwork of the Celtic people who ruled Europe from 500 BC to 1100 AD. It focuses on the Gauls, a prominent Celtic tribe that was a major adversary of Rome. The Celts were considered barbarians but were a fierce and passionate people known for their powerful warriors. A prominent part of Celtic culture was their art, including the torc necklace and depictions of women that showed a greater role for females than in Roman culture. Eventually, the Celts were assimilated into Christian European culture, though the interaction between the two influenced both and can be seen in illuminated manuscripts.

This document discusses the debate between historians over whether the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain involved mass migration or elite dominance. Archaeological, genetic, and linguistic evidence are examined but provide contradictory support for both theories. While place-names studies and some genetic evidence support mass migration, other genetics studies and issues with archaeological interpretations allow for elite dominance. The debate remains controversial with evidence supporting both models of Anglo-Saxon settlement. Ultimately, the evidence suggests Mrs. Smith could potentially be descended from either Anglo-Saxon migrants or native Britons.

This document discusses the ongoing debate between historians over whether the Anglo-Saxon settlement of Britain involved mass migration or elite dominance. Archaeological, genetic, and linguistic evidence have been used to support both theories, but interpretations of the evidence have changed over time and there are still open questions and contradictory findings. Theories of elite dominance suggest a small migration of high-status Anglo-Saxons who imposed their language and culture on the local Britons, while mass migration theories involve a larger influx that replaced much of the native population. Overall, the evidence remains mixed and inconclusive regarding the scale and nature of the Anglo-Saxon settlement.
Europe in transition
Technological innovations like the heavy wheeled plow and water mills increased food production in Europe, supporting growing populations and trade. Kings started collecting taxes instead of troops and used money to hire mercenaries, decreasing nobles' military demands and leading knights to fight each other. The church developed chivalry to curb violence between Christians. Interest in rediscovered classical Greek and Latin texts and contact with Muslim culture revived intellectual life, though Aristotle's focus on reason through philosophy sometimes conflicted with the church's teachings that truth comes from God and faith. Thomas Aquinas developed Scholasticism to show how reason and faith could jointly find truth.
Restoration
The document provides context for English authors from the Restoration period such as Dryden, Pepys, Bunyan, and Behn by summarizing key events in England from the 16th to late 17th centuries. It describes the shift from Catholic to Protestant rule under Queen Elizabeth I and King James I, the tensions between the monarchy and parliament that led to the English Civil War, Oliver Cromwell's rule as Lord Protector during the Commonwealth period, and the restoration of the monarchy with King Charles II in 1660. It also briefly discusses the Great Plague of 1665, the Great Fire of 1666, the reopening of theaters, and increased trade and colonization during the Restoration period.
Introduction to the victorian Exp sl
This document provides historical context about the Victorian period in Britain from 1837-1901. It describes the immense poverty and poor living/working conditions during the early Victorian period of industrialization. The mid-Victorian period from 1848-1870 saw Britain's Golden Age with the peak of the British Empire and advances in science. The late Victorian period from 1870-1901 involved a decline of the empire and fears of decay as art/literature moved away from "stuffy" Victorian styles and values. The document outlines the major economic, social, and political developments that characterized these periods of the Victorian era in Britain.
13ii Econ And Cultural Revival
The Crusades accelerated Western Europe's transformation from a backward region to a more sophisticated one by pushing warfare out of Europe and giving time to develop. Around this time, the heavy plow and collar harness were invented, improving agriculture and allowing increased crop yields and population growth. Growing trade between cities like Venice, Pisa, and Genoa flourished due to safer travel. Schools and scholarship also grew, emphasizing reason as well as faith, as seen in works by Peter Abelard and Thomas Aquinas. Literature was spread by troubadours, including epics like Beowulf and Chanson de Roland.

The document discusses several reasons for the fall of the Roman Empire. It states that a decline in morals and values contributed as behaviors could no longer be maintained towards the end of the empire. Christian beliefs also conflicted with the workings of the empire as Church leaders gained influence. Additionally, the Roman empire's own power and wealth raised opposing forces that grew strong enough to challenge Rome.

Chapter 13 height of medieval europe
By the 11th century, Christians blamed Jews for their problems and some church leaders required Jews to wear identifying badges. Many Jews were forced from their land and became peddlers and money lenders, with many moving to Eastern Europe. The Crusades began in 1095 when the Pope called knights and peasants to take back the Holy Land from Muslim rule. On their way to Jerusalem, Crusaders killed many Jews and massacred most residents when they conquered the city. Subsequent Crusades failed to retake lost land. The Crusades had lasting effects, including strengthening monarch power in Europe and opening new trade routes after Europeans were exposed to Muslim and Byzantine knowledge.
Chapter 13 height of medieval europe
Anti-Semitism against Jews in Europe increased in the 1100s as Christians blamed them for problems and some church leaders required Jews to wear identifying badges. Many Jews were forced from their lands and took up occupations like money lending. The Crusades beginning in 1095 aimed to retake the Holy Land from Muslim rule but Crusaders also killed many Jews along the way. The Crusades had lasting effects on Europe including strengthening monarchical power and exposing Europeans to new ideas that stimulated economic and cultural revival.

Rowling.
Introduction to the victorian age per classe 5L
The Victorian Age from 1837 to 1901 in England was a period of great industrial development, innovation, and expansion of the British Empire. Key developments included the rise of steam power, advances in electricity and infrastructure like gas lighting and postal systems. The British Empire grew significantly to cover one-fifth of the Earth's surface ruled by Queen Victoria. However, this progress came at the expense of many poor workers and colonized people. Social reforms attempted to address issues like sanitation, child labor, education, and voting rights, but Victorian society remained full of contradictions between ideals of morality and scientific advancement versus widespread poverty and hypocrisy.
Sanisera Field School, Session no. 5: Roman spectacle, by Jessica Di Benedetto
Roman games and spectacles played an important social and political role in the empire. Munera were games organized by private individuals to demonstrate their wealth and status, while ludi were state-sponsored religious festivals that often included games. Entertainment venues like amphitheaters hosted gladiator battles, mock naval battles, and animal hunts over several days. While some fought to the death, others had non-lethal mock fights. Such spectacles underscored Rome's military might but also its cultural leadership. They remained popular in Roman provinces like Hispania even after Christianization, demonstrating how local cultures blended Imperial and native traditions.
Black death & 100 years war
The Black Death arrived in England in 1348 and quickly spread throughout the country, killing nearly 2.5 million people by 1350. It was later discovered that the plague was caused by the bacterium Yersinia pestis and was transmitted to humans via the bites of infected fleas living on black rats. The consequences of the plague included depopulation as well as social, economic, and religious upheaval across Europe.
Victorian Era: an Introduction
Victorian England from 1837 to 1901 saw rapid industrialization, population growth, and the formation of distinct social classes. The early Victorian period was marked by unemployment, poverty, and poor working conditions, while the mid-Victorian era saw more prosperity and stability. However, the late Victorian period experienced a degradation of values, economic depression, and mass emigration. Conditions for women improved through new laws and opportunities for work and education, but many still faced underemployment and poverty. Rapid urbanization led to overcrowded cities with problems of disease, crime, and child labor. Novels sought to realistically portray this complex and changing society.
Renaissance introduction pp
The Renaissance era spanned from 1485-1660 and marked a renewed interest in classical learning from Ancient Greece and Rome. This led to a rebirth of human spirit, creativity, and curiosity that began in Italy with influential figures like Da Vinci, Michelangelo, and Columbus. Politically, monarchs like Henry VIII seized church property and dissolved monasteries while Elizabeth I was a strong and clever monarch who patronized the arts. Prejudices during this time included suspicion of foreigners, oppression of the Irish, Scots, and Welsh, anti-Semitism, and a growing slave trade. Humanism focused on individual excellence and education found in classical texts. Shakespeare, a playwright during this era, wrote famous
Enlightenment Part 1: Absolutism
The document discusses the failed Spanish Armada invasion of England in 1588. It notes that the English fleet had 197 ships compared to the Spanish's 130 larger ships, which were hard to maneuver in the English Channel. The English were not well trained and underpaid. It is disputed when the storm arrived that damaged the Spanish fleet, with the outcome being that the Spanish emerged stronger from the failed invasion. The document asks how history might have changed if the Spanish had defeated the English fleet.
Project 1
1) The document traces the origins and early migrations of humans out of Africa across the world, noting that all modern humans can trace their ancestry back to a single tribe in Africa.
2) It discusses a period of rapid innovation and cultural advancement in human prehistory and a global catastrophe around 535 CE that disrupted societies across Afro-Eurasia and contributed to the fall of states like the Roman Empire and Teotihuacan.
3) Recent archaeological finds provide evidence that large, organized communities may have existed in the Amazon contrary to previous assumptions, demonstrating characteristics like large populations, social stratification, food surpluses, and permanent housing.
Dark Ages in Europe
The Dark Ages refers to the period from 400 AD to 1400 AD in Europe. Originally, Christians used the terms "dark" and "light" to describe the darkness before Jesus brought light to the world. Later, the Italian scholar Petrarch described the loss of learning from the Greeks and Romans as plunging Europe into the "dark." Historians then viewed the Dark Ages as a time of little culture, repeated invasions, no central government, and a poor economy and standard of living. However, many historians now disagree with labeling this entire period as a "Dark Age."
The Post 9/11 World and the Crises of Multiculturalism: Sussex University 50t...
This document discusses the post-9/11 backlash against multiculturalism in Western nations. It argues that the consensus around the civilizational threat of terrorism has legitimized a new form of "cultural racism." Critics have blamed multiculturalism and excessive tolerance for the rise of "home-grown" terrorism. The "crisis of multiculturalism" is presented as a contemporary way to express racism while maintaining an official commitment to diversity. The document examines how the boundaries between "good" and "bad" diversity are used to understand and justify racism.
Elizabethan age
The document summarizes the key social and political characteristics of the Elizabethan Age in England from 1550 to 1620. It discusses 10 characteristics: 1) The Renaissance sparked new thinking and a revival of classical learning. 2) Humanism emphasized life and mankind over religion. 3) The Reformation reformed society and religion. 4) Nationalism grew after defeating the Spanish Armada. 5) Settlement brought stability through unified crowns and religious tolerance. 6) Social contentment increased with less poverty and idle time. 7) Material advancement occurred through commerce, wealth, and improved agriculture. 8) New discoveries expanded horizons in astronomy, geography and voyages. 9) Adventure stirred imaginations with new lands. 10) Printing
The crusades
The document summarizes the key events and motivations of the Crusades between 1095-1291. It discusses how the Seljuk Turks took control of Jerusalem in the 11th century and prevented Christian pilgrimage, motivating the First Crusade launched by Pope Urban II to retake the city. The First Crusade established the Latin Kingdom of Jerusalem but it gradually decayed and the last Christian city, Acre, fell in 1291, ending the Crusades.
Persuasive
The document summarizes reasons why visiting Anglo-Saxon England would not be a good choice, citing the unpredictable bad weather, war-like culture focused on fighting and slavery, and primitive technology as major drawbacks. While the Anglo-Saxons had notable craftsmanship and administration, their negatives of weather, violent society, and lack of development outweigh any positives. The document concludes that having all three negative aspects would make for a very poor visit to Anglo-Saxon England.
Middle Kingdom Egypt Review
The Middle Kingdom (ca. 2030-1700 B.C.) was a transformational period in ancient Egypt that saw the development and reimagining of earlier artistic conventions, cultural principles, religious beliefs, and political systems. This volume presents new insights into how Middle Kingdom artists refined existing forms and iconography to create strikingly original works. It explores art produced for the pharaoh, royal women, elite, and families, and Egypt's expanding foreign relations. More than 250 objects from major collections are illustrated, providing understanding of the Middle Kingdom as a bridge between earlier monumentality and later opulence.

Different ages in the Renaissance Period Presented by Akhi Akter
The document presents information about different ages during the Renaissance period in England. It begins with an introduction defining the Renaissance as a period of rebirth and renewed interest in classical antiquity. It then lists four ages that the Renaissance period is subdivided into: the Elizabethan age, named after Queen Elizabeth I who ruled from 1558 to 1603; the Jacobean age, named after King James I who ruled from 1603 to 1625; the Caroline age, named after King Charles I who ruled from 1625 to 1649; and the Commonwealth period with no monarch from 1649 to 1660. In closing, it thanks the audience for their patience.
Celtic culture
The document summarizes various aspects of Celtic culture including their languages, art, warfare, Christianity, society, clothing, and Roman influence. The Celtic languages originated in Europe and spread across the continent. Celtic art featured intricate geometric patterns rather than figurative images. Warfare was a regular part of Celtic societies and involved raiding rivals for economic gain. Christianity arrived in unconquered Celtic lands in the 5th century AD and led to a medieval renaissance in Celtic art. Society was divided into classes including warriors and druids. Clothing included tunics and pants as depicted in artwork. Roman rule weakened druidism and led to the adoption of some Roman religious practices.
109411.pptx
The Celts were groups of Iron Age tribes that inhabited Britain and Ireland between 500 BC to 100 BC. They were not a unified group but rather loosely affiliated tribes that spoke similar languages and shared cultural traditions like religion and warrior culture. The Celts were known for their red hair, freckled skin, and fighting prowess. They lived in clans and valued battle, plunder, and rituals conducted by Druid priests. Their disunity made them vulnerable to invasion and they were eventually conquered by the Romans in the 1st century AD, marking the end of their dominance in Britain.

Old English literature from 500-1100 AD was shaped by the mixing of Germanic tribes with the native Britons after the Romans left, and later by the invasions of Vikings and acceptance of Christianity. The literature consisted of poetry, prose, and drama. Poetry included heroic epics like Beowulf as well as elegies lamenting loss. Prose included translations by King Alfred and religious writings. Drama originated from enacting Bible stories in churches and was influenced by folk plays and Greek/Latin traditions.
First settlements in the british isle
1. People first migrated from Europe to Britain around 500,000 BC, with the earliest human remains dating back 250,000-300,000 BC. However, the earliest inhabitants seem to have left during the last Ice Age around 50,000 years ago.
2. In 2000 BC, people from Northern Europe known as the Beaker Folk came to Britain, bringing new cultural traditions such as bronze tools and weapons. They organized into small communities and transitioned from hunting and gathering to agriculture.
3. The Celts arrived in Britain around 500 BC, introducing ironworking, new agricultural practices like plowing, and establishing tribal systems. They developed a culture that relied heavily on oral tradition as preserved by druids,
Celtic history colin
The Celts emerged during the late Bronze Age around 800 BC as a war-like, ethnolinguistic society that conquered much of Europe. They had a warrior culture that believed possessing an enemy's head gave you their power. The Celts were originally pagan but were converted to Catholicism by the Romans. Though the Romans conquered Britain in 43 AD, they never conquered Ireland. The Celts expanded throughout Europe to areas like Gaul, Iberia, the Northern Alps, Germania, and Poland. Their inventions included bagpipes and their celebrations honored different gods. Celtic society was organized into clans, fines, with decisions made by druid priests and nobles.

Byzantium And The Middle Ages Part 8
The document summarizes the events surrounding the First Crusade from the Byzantine perspective. It describes how the Byzantine Emperor Alexius I Komnenos appealed to Western Europe for aid against invading Turks, unintentionally triggering the First Crusade. Though he wanted professional soldiers, he received a vast horde of untrained crusaders. The First Crusade was initially very successful in retaking lands, but caused ongoing conflicts as crusader states sought independence from Byzantine control. The document also provides background on the political and military situation in Byzantium and the surrounding regions during this time period.
Minoan civilization
This document discusses the origins and development of ancient civilizations in Europe and the Mediterranean. It provides evidence that early civilizations like Minoan Crete were Black civilizations, and that Black peoples were the original settlers of Europe. However, in the 19th century, white historians revised history to falsely portray Europeans as the indigenous peoples. The document examines archaeological, artistic and genetic evidence to show that Africa was the origin of the earliest European settlers and civilizations, contradicting the false, whitewashed history promoted by Europeans.
August 28 (102)
The Catholic Church became a powerful unifying force during the Middle Ages. When the Western Roman Empire fell, the Church helped hold civilization together. However, Christianity was persecuted at various points and outlawed in the Roman Empire. One emperor, Constantine, professed Christianity and made it not only acceptable but favored in the Roman Empire.
Lesson 3-British Folk Heroes And Folklore
The document discusses several topics in British history through folklore and literature:
1) The legend of King Arthur illustrates values from Celtic, Roman, and medieval cultures like honor and bravery.
2) Beowulf depicts a warrior culture in Scandinavia where kings protected their people and demanded loyalty. It represents a time of invasion.
3) Robin Hood stories show class struggles under feudalism, with Robin stealing from the rich and helping the poor who suffered under Prince John's rule.
4) William Wallace and Robert the Bruce led Scotland's fight for independence from British rule, with Wallace being executed for his rebellion.

How to Make a Field Mandatory in Odoo 17
In Odoo, making a field required can be done through both Python code and XML views. When you set the required attribute to True in Python code, it makes the field required across all views where it's used. Conversely, when you set the required attribute in XML views, it makes the field required only in the context of that particular view.
