Слайд 14The 3 Estates in the Middle Ages
The idea of estates,

or orders, was encouraged during the Age, but this ordering

was breaking down.
Clergy
Latin chiefly spoken, those who pray, purpose was to save everyone’s soul
Nobles
French chiefly spoken, those who fight, purpose was to protect—allow for all to work in peace—and provide justice
Commoners
English spoken, those who work, purpose was to feed and clothe all above them

Слайд 15 feudalism
The economic system of much of the Middle Ages

(800-1100)
Commoners (peasants) lived on a feudal manor. The lord of

the manor gave his vassals (the peasants) land to farm.
In return, the vassals received protection from roving bandits. Yet they were taxed and had to surrender a portion of their crops to the lord.
it was better to be a lord than a vassal!
Feudalism is important as it created ties of obedience and fostered a sense of loyalty between the vassals and their lord.

Слайд 18The Wheel of Fortune
The idea of Fortune and her wheel

was one of the most pervasive ideas throughout the Middle

Ages.

On the wheel are depicted four figures: one at the top, one at the bottom, one rising, and one falling.

The Wheel of FortuneThe idea of Fortune and her wheel was one of the most pervasive ideas

Слайд 19It served to remind of the temporality of earthly things.



The Wheel helps understand the medieval mind, and it can

help remind us that the important things in life come from within, that hard work has its own merits. An award, an office, a title--these are not the things that make for greatness.

Слайд 20the Ptolemaic Universe
Imagine a sphere that encloses another that holds

another that holds yet another…and continues into heaven…
It is a

commonly held myth that people of the Medieval period thought the Earth was flat…FALSE!
It was round, but at the center of the universe!

So what! Well, the people of the Medieval period loved order! Remember the Three Estates, the Seven Deadly Sins—a place for everyone and everyone in that place.

Watch for this order to begin to be displaced…

Слайд 29Use of Allegory
An allegory is a figurative mode of representation

conveying a meaning other than the literal.

Слайд 30The Ideal of Courtly Love
This relationship was modeled on the

feudal relationship between a knight and his liege lord.
The

knight serves his courtly lady with the same obedience and loyalty which he owes to his liege lord.
She is in complete control; he owes her obedience and submission

Слайд 31The knight's love for the lady inspires him to do

great deeds, in order to be worthy of her love

or to win her favor.

Слайд 32“Courtly love" was not between husband and wife because it

was an idealized sort of relationship that could not exist

within the context of "real life" medieval marriages.
In the middle ages, marriages amongst the nobility were typically based on practical and dynastic concerns rather than on love.

“Courtly love

Слайд 33“Courtly love" provided a model of behavior for a class

of unmarried young men who might otherwise have threatened social

stability.
Knights were typically younger brothers without land of their own (hence unable to support a wife).
They became members of the household of the feudal lords whom they served.

Слайд 34The lady is typically older, married, and of higher social

status than the knight because she was modeled on the

wife of the feudal lord, who might naturally become the focus of the young, unmarried knights' desire.

Слайд 35The literary model of courtly love may have been invented

to provide young men with a model for appropriate behavior.

It taught them to sublimate their desires and to channel their energy into socially useful behavior (love service rather than wandering around the countryside, stealing or raping women.

Слайд 37The Quest
In addition to the theme of Courtly Love, the

Quest was highly important:
the code of conduct observed by a

knight errant who is wandering in search of deeds of chivalry. This knight is bound by a code of behavior - a set of conventional principles and expectations

Слайд 38A quest is a hero’s journey towards a goal. The

objects of quests require great exertion on the part of

the hero, and the overcoming of many obstacles.

The hero's must obtain something, or someone, by the quest and with this object return home.
