Visigothic Spain - From 409 until the Muslim conquestDavidCotCaigueral
1. The document provides historical context on the Visigothic Kingdom that ruled Hispania beginning in the 7th century. It details the various barbarian groups that invaded the Iberian peninsula in the 5th century, including the Vandals, Suebi, Alans, and Visigoths.
2. It then discusses the rise of the Visigothic Kingdom and its kings, including Leovigild who expanded the kingdom in the 6th century through military conquests and administrative reforms.
3. However, religious tensions grew as Hermenegild, the eldest son of Leovigild, converted to Catholicism with his Frankish wife while the Visigoths remained
The Visigothic Kingdom ruled Hispania (modern Spain and Portugal) from 416 to 711. It began when the Visigoths, a Germanic people originally from Eastern Europe, were invited by the Romans to expel other barbarian groups from the Iberian Peninsula. Over time, the Visigoths established control over most of Hispania and unified the territory through religious and legal conversions in the 6th-7th centuries. However, internal conflicts and challenges to royal authority weakened the kingdom prior to its conquest by the Umayyad Caliphate in 711.
The Visigoths conquered the other Germanic tribes that had settled in Hispania in the 5th century. In the 6th century, the Visigoths established their kingdom's capital in Toledo to unite the Iberian Peninsula under their control. They adopted some Roman ways of life but also maintained their own customs. In 589, Visigoth King Recaredo I converted the kingdom to Catholicism, increasing the power of Catholic bishops, though Visigoths had previously followed Arianism.
The document provides information about the history and society of the Visigoths in Spain from the 5th to early 8th century AD. It notes key events like the Visigoths defeating Attila the Hun in 451 AD, their expansion into Spain, and conquests of cities like Cordoba. It describes Visigothic kings like Reccared who converted the kingdom to Catholicism in 587 AD and Rodrigo who was the last Visigothic king before the Muslim invasion in 711 AD. The document also outlines the different social classes within Visigothic society, including the king, aristocracy, clergy, peasants, artisans, and slaves.

The document provides background information on feudalism in medieval Europe. It explains that feudalism emerged after the fall of the Western Roman Empire, when there was no strong central government. Under feudalism, kings and lords granted land to lesser nobles, known as vassals, who were then obligated to provide military service. Vassals could further divide their lands, becoming overlords to lower-level vassals. Peasants lived under manorial systems and were often bound to the land as serfs. Knights received land and protection from lords in exchange for military service. Feudal relationships were complex and sometimes vassals had obligations to multiple overlords. The system helped provide security and
The Carolingian Empire originated from the weak Frankish Kingdom. Charles Martel, the powerful Mayor of the Palace, defeated the Muslims in 732 and his son Pippin the Short became king in 751 after defeating the Frankish king. Pippin's son Charlemagne sought to rebuild the Western Roman Empire by conquering the Lombard Kingdom and defeating the Saxons. In 800, Charlemagne was crowned emperor by the Pope. Upon his death in 814, Charlemagne's son Louis the Pious became emperor but the empire was divided among his three sons by the Treaty of Verdun in 843.

The Mongols were formidable warriors and conquerors led by the brilliant strategist Genghis Khan. They used innovative tactics like dividing their forces to lure enemies into ambushes. They also employed technologies like siege machines and rotating units of archers and lancers. Their mastery of cavalry and horse archery allowed them to dominate vast territories through mobility and deception. Though ruthless, the Mongols' military prowess helped connect the world and usher in a new historical period.
Constantinople was located strategically between Europe and Asia at the Bosporus, controlling important trade routes and benefiting from the protected harbor of the Golden Horn; as the capital of the Eastern Roman Empire from 330 AD, its residents called themselves Romans and the city became an important religious center before the Great Schism split Christianity into Eastern Orthodox and Roman Catholic churches in 1054. Major events in Constantinople included violent riots like the Nika Revolt in 532 and massacres such as the targeting of Latins in 1182.
The Franks were a Germanic tribe who conquered much of Gaul under their king Clovis in 486. Clovis converted to Christianity, allying the Franks with the Catholic Church and spreading Roman culture throughout Western Europe. Charles Martel defeated the Moors at the Battle of Tours in 732. Pepin III helped the Pope defeat the Lombards, further strengthening the Frankish-Church alliance. Charlemagne greatly expanded the Frankish Empire and was crowned Emperor by the Pope on Christmas Day 800, reviving the Roman Empire. However, the Frankish Empire declined after Charlemagne's death as his grandsons fought over the land and it faced constant invasions.

The Christian kingdoms began forming in the 8th-9th centuries as the Visigoths established rule in northern Iberia after the Muslim conquest. The first were the Kingdom of Asturias and León in Cantabria and the Kingdom of Navarre and counties of Aragon and Catalonia in the Pyrenees. Over eight centuries, Christians and Muslims coexisted on the peninsula. The kingdoms of Castile and Aragon later evolved and expanded through the Reconquest, with Castile becoming the most powerful under the Crown of Castile and Aragon gaining territory along the Mediterranean coast.

The document summarizes life during the Medieval Period from 450-1450 AD. Society was divided into three strict orders - clergy, nobility, and serfs. The clergy administered religion and justice, the nobility owned land and titles, and serfs worked the land in exchange for protection. Art during this period was primarily religious in nature and commissioned by the church to educate people, including illuminated manuscripts, architecture like Gothic cathedrals, and Gregorian chant music. Overall society was rigidly stratified and controlled by the church.
The document discusses the rise and fall of the Mongol Empire under leaders like Genghis Khan and Kublai Khan. It describes how the Mongols, originating in central Asia, conquered much of Asia and Eastern Europe under Genghis Khan. Kublai Khan later established the Yuan Dynasty after conquering China in 1279. While the Mongols spread destruction, their empire also saw a period of political stability and increased trade along the Silk Road. However, the empire eventually declined due to the vast lands being difficult to govern from a central location and growing resentment against Mongol rule.

The Visigoths were a Germanic tribe that migrated from Eastern Europe into the Roman Empire in 376 to escape the Huns. They were granted lands in southern France by the emperor in exchange for expelling other tribes from Spain. The Visigoths established a kingdom in southern France until being defeated by the Franks in 507, after which they moved their capital to Toledo in Spain. Their kingdom expanded to control most of the Iberian Peninsula until it was overrun by Muslim invaders in 711 amid internal conflicts between kings and nobles.
The fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD led to the rise of new powers, including the Islamic Empire. Islam originated in the 7th century in Arabia, founded by the prophet Muhammad who received revelations that became the Quran. He spread Islam from Mecca to Medina, and after his death the religion continued expanding under successive caliphates. The Umayyad Caliphate established the capital in Damascus and expanded the empire from Persia to Spain. The Abbasid Caliphate moved the capital to Baghdad and some territories became independent.

The document discusses the Barbarian invasions of Europe during the fall of the Roman Empire and the early Middle Ages. Major invasions came from Germanic tribes from northern Europe like the Goths, Huns, Lombards, and Franks, as well as the Huns and Magyars from Asia. These invaders settled across Europe and established new political entities, with varying levels of adoption of Roman culture. Significant leaders that arose included Clovis who established the Frankish kingdom and Charlemagne who founded the Carolingian Empire. Vikings also raided much of Europe in this period. Feudalism developed as a political and economic system in response to these invasions and the need for protection.

264 CHAPTER 9 Medieval Empires and Borderlands The Latin West.docxeugeniadean34240
264 CHAPTER 9 Medieval Empires and Borderlands: The Latin West
was followed by a period of anarchy as Europe faced
further incursions of hostile invaders. During the
eleventh century, however, the Latin West recov-
ered in dramatic fashion. By the end of the century
the Latin kingdoms were strong enough to engage
in a massive counterassault against Islam, in part in
defense of fellow Christians in Byzantium. These
campaigns against Islam, known as the Crusades,
produced a series of wars in the Middle East and
North Africa that continued throughout the Middle
Ages. But the ideals of the crusaders lasted well into
modern times, long after the active fighting ceased.
The transformations in this period raised this ques-
tion: How did Latin Christianity help strengthen
the new kingdoms of the Latin West so that they
were eventually able to deal effectively with both
barbarian invaders and Muslim rivals?

By the time the Roman Empire collapsed in the
West during the f i f t h century, numerous Germanic
tribes had settled in the lands of the former
empire. These tribes became the nucleus for the
new Latin Christian kingdoms that emerged by
750 (see M a p 9.1).
Germanic Kingdoms on Roman
Foundations
The new Germanic kingdoms of L a t i n Christen-
dom created a new kind of society. They bor-
rowed f r o m Roman law while establishing
government institutions, but they also relied on
their o w n traditional methods of rule. Three ele-
ments helped unify these kingdoms. First, i n the
Germanic kingdoms personal loyalty rather than
legal rights unified society. Kinship obligations to
a particular clan of blood relatives rather than
citizenship, as in the Roman Empire, defined a
person's place in society and his or her relation-
ship to rulers. Second, Christianity became the
dominant religion i n the kingdoms. The common
faith hnked rulers w i t h their subjects. A n d
t h i r d , L a t i n served as the language of worship,
learning, and diplomacy in these kingdoms.
German kingdoms based on Roman foundations
appeared in Anglo-Saxon England, Prankish
Gaul, Visigothic Spain, and Lombard Italy.
A N G I O - S A X O M ENGLAisSD Roman civilization
collapsed more completely i n Britain during the
f i f t h century than it did on the European conti-
nent, largely because of Britain's long distance
f r o m Rome and the small number of Romans
who had settled there. A b o u t 400, the Roman
economic and administrative infrastructure of
Britain fell apart, and the last Roman legions left
the island to fight on the continent. Raiders f r o m
the coast of the N o r t h Sea called Angles and
Saxons (historians referred to them as Anglo-
Saxons) took advantag.
The document summarizes the fragmentation of the ancient world following the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 CE. It describes how Germanic tribes invaded and established kingdoms across Europe as the empire dissolved. One such kingdom was the Visigothic Kingdom in Hispania. Meanwhile, the Eastern Roman Empire, centered in Constantinople, managed to survive as the Byzantine Empire for another 1000 years by repelling invaders. It also covers the emergence of Islam in the 7th century and the expansion of Muslim rule across former Roman territories in North Africa and the Middle East.
The Frankish Kingdom was established in the 5th century by Merovech and expanded by his grandson Clovis. After Clovis' death, the kingdom was divided among his sons. Power later fell to the Mayors of the Palace, most notably Charles Martel, before Pippin the Short established the Carolingian dynasty in 751. Charlemagne conquered much of Western Europe and was crowned Holy Roman Emperor by the Pope in 800. His empire did not long survive his death and was divided among his grandsons in 843 by the Treaty of Verdun.
The ancient civilizations of Phoenicians, Greeks, and Carthaginians established colonies in Spain around 2000 BC to develop trade and utilize natural resources. The Romans then began conquering the Iberian Peninsula in 218 BC and completed control by 19 BC, leaving a lasting legacy in law, language, and religion. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, the Visigoths took control of Hispania and established the Visigothic Kingdom, ruling until 711 AD from their capital in Toledo.
The ancient civilizations of Phoenicians, Greeks, and Carthaginians founded colonies along the Mediterranean coast of the Iberian Peninsula between 2000 BC and 146 BC, developing trade and exploiting natural resources. The Romans then began conquering the peninsula in 218 BC and were not finished until 19 BC, leaving a lasting legacy in law, language, and religion. After the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD, the Visigoths took control of Hispania and established a kingdom that ruled until 711 AD, becoming Romanized by adopting Latin, Roman law, and Catholicism.
The medieval period spanned from around 400 to 1500 CE, beginning with the fall of the Western Roman Empire. The early Middle Ages from 400 to 800 CE were known as the Dark Ages, as Germanic tribes invaded and trade routes became dangerous. New kingdoms gradually emerged in the 800s and 900s, including the Frankish Empire of Charlemagne and the kingdoms of Alfred the Great in England and Otto I in Germany. Medieval kings held absolute power over their subjects, demonstrated through grand ceremonies. The medieval period lasted until the start of the Renaissance in the 15th century.
Spain has been home to many different peoples and civilizations over hundreds of thousands of years. The earliest human remains in Spain date back 800,000 years ago. Romans conquered the Iberian Peninsula between 218-19 BC and spread their culture and social structures. Muslims ruled Spain for over 700 years beginning in 711 AD, bringing economic and cultural development. In the 15th century, Isabella of Castile and Ferdinand of Aragon united Spain and expelled the Muslims, establishing the Spanish Empire under the Hapsburg dynasty.
The document provides an overview of three major civilizations during the Middle Ages: the Byzantine, Germanic Kingdoms, and Islamic civilizations.

This document discusses different types of map projections used to represent the spherical Earth on a flat surface. It describes terrestrial globes which do not distort the Earth's surface but are not useful for studying details. It then explains that all map projections inevitably introduce some distortion and describes three main categories of projections - equivalent, equidistant, and conformal - based on how they portray specific characteristics. The rest of the document provides details on cylindrical, conic, and azimuthal/zenithal projection types and their unique properties and distortions.

The document summarizes the origins and political evolution of ancient Rome from its founding in 753 BC to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD. It describes how Rome was founded by Romulus and Remus and eventually grew into a vast empire governed by a monarchy, republic, and imperial system. The republic collapsed due to internal conflicts and unrest, leading to the rise of Julius Caesar and Octavian Augustus, who transformed Rome into a centralized empire spanning from Britain to Persia. However, by the 3rd century AD, the empire began suffering economic and military crises that ultimately led to the fall of the Western Roman Empire in 476 AD.

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

A Strategic Approach: GenAI in EducationPeter Windle
Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies such as Generative AI, Image Generators and Large Language Models have had a dramatic impact on teaching, learning and assessment over the past 18 months. The most immediate threat AI posed was to Academic Integrity with Higher Education Institutes (HEIs) focusing their efforts on combating the use of GenAI in assessment. Guidelines were developed for staff and students, policies put in place too. Innovative educators have forged paths in the use of Generative AI for teaching, learning and assessments leading to pockets of transformation springing up across HEIs, often with little or no top-down guidance, support or direction.
This Gasta posits a strategic approach to integrating AI into HEIs to prepare staff, students and the curriculum for an evolving world and workplace. We will highlight the advantages of working with these technologies beyond the realm of teaching, learning and assessment by considering prompt engineering skills, industry impact, curriculum changes, and the need for staff upskilling. In contrast, not engaging strategically with Generative AI poses risks, including falling behind peers, missed opportunities and failing to ensure our graduates remain employable. The rapid evolution of AI technologies necessitates a proactive and strategic approach if we are to remain relevant.

2. THE FALL OF THE WESTERN ROMAN EMPIRE
The fall of the
Western Roman
Empire after the
conquest of Rome by
the Ostrogoths in the
year 476 A.D. meant
the break-up of
Mediterranean unity
and the arose of new
powers and
civilizations as the
Germanic
Kingdoms, the
Byzantine Empire
and the Islamic
4. THE GERMANIC KINGDOMS
Germanic tribes settled
on the Roman territories
they conquered and
established different
kingdoms.
Some of the kingdoms
that replaced the
Western Empire were:
The Franks, that settled
in France
The Visigoths, that
settled in Spain
The Ostrogoths, that
settled in Italy
The Angles and the
Saxons, that settled in
Britain.
6. THE VISIGOTHS
In the 4th century, the
Visigoths, in Asia, were
attacked by the Huns.
They received permission
to enter the Western
Roman Empire and settle
under its protection as
allies.
Some years later, the
Roman emperor asked the
Visigoths for help to expel
other Germanic tribes (the
Suevi, the Vandals and
the Alans) from the Iberian
Peninsula.
7. In exchange of
giving back the
Iberian Peninsula
territories to the
Romans, they
would receive lands
in southern Gaul.
The Visigoths
established their
first kingdom in
Gaul.
Later they also
conquered the
Iberian Peninsula.
8. At the beginning of
the 6th century, the
Franks expelled the
Visigoths from Gaul.
The Visigoths
founded a new
kingdom in the
Iberian Peninsula, the
Visigoth Kingdom
of Toledo. This city
was made its capital.
The kingdom endured
during the 6th and the
7th centuries until the
Arabs conquered the
Iberian Peninsula in
the year 711.
9. Some of its most
important kings
were:
King Leovigild, who
extended the
territory and
intermingled
Germanic and
Roman law setting
up a new code.
King Reccared who
became catholic as
well as his subjects
to try to intermingle
Visigoth and
10. Consequences of the Visigoth conquest of the Iberian
Peninsula
Hispanic subjects (former
Roman citizens) accepted
Visigoth’s rules. And
when Visigoths converted
into catholicism they
finally intermingled.
The lack of security after
the Germanic invasions
broke up trading.
People left the cities and
return to the country to
farm their own
nourishment.
A new legal code mixed
Germanic and Roman
law.
Art became less impressive
as there wasn’t enough
money to spend on
architecture. Palaces and
churches were built with
poor materials.
The most important art
pieces were Visigoth
crowns made of gold and
jewels for the king to give as
a present to God for His
help on the battlefield.
