Right in front of the main entrance on the floor reads Otto Johann Thuve, 1696AD, he was a landlord, a don juan of Tallinn.

Town can be divided into two: Upper town (Toompea Hill) - Tallinn’s rulers, gentry and the clergy; and the Lower Town - other citizens. The two parts remained separated until the end of the 19th century. ● In 1285 joined the Hansaetic Leaque. ● Runaway serfs, managed to hide (baron Uexkyll in 1535, he had his escaped peasant captured and tortured to death, and because of that, he himself was executed) St. Olaf’s Church ● Built in 13th century; legend of the name; wanted to seem powerful, 124 metres tall.

His power his shown by the border barrier he built between Mercia & Wales Offa's Dyke. It probably took 5000 men to build it. It stretches for about 180 km, was 7 metres high, the ditch in front of it 2 metres deep. By the beginning of the 9th cent. Wessex had become the strongest. Wessex never again lost its supremacy. In 829 King Egbert was acknowledged by Kent, Mercia & Northumbria. This was the beginning of the united kingdom. King Egbert became 1st King of England. The clergy, royal warriors & officials supported the king's power. He granted them land and the right to collect dues from the peasants & hold judgement over them. Another important class developed the men of learning, came from the Christian Church. Nobody knows when christianity first reached Britain. Christianity came from 2 directions, Rome & Ireland. In 597 Pope Gregory the Great sent a group of missionaries under a monk Augustin to re-establish Christianity

and their muscularity makes them appear even more heroic. (Lajer, 1999, p.106) He placed one of the main figures, Jean Bailly, to the center of the room on a table that divided the room into two sides, but did not break the unity of the whole picture. Aside from Bailly, other important delegates like abbe Gregoire, dom Gerle and Rabaut Saint-Etienne, were located centrally and made identifiable. Around the table representatives of Protestantism, regular clergy and secular clergy were all together without special division. This shows how the Revolution makes everybody equal and unifies even opposite sides. Moreover, above the oath takers some soldiers watch upon the activities ready to disband the whole Parliament and outside the windows there is lightning that struck to the royal cathedral symbolizing the soon fall of the king.

In the 1930s some local spiritualists made several attempts to contact the troubled spirit of a monk who had been the town executioner in his earlier life.They failed, perhaps because the monk's ghost must have spoken Latin. As Tallinn has two "legs" of different length, it is sometimes humorously called "a limping town". Right from the Danish Conquest Toompea started to develop into the centre of provincial authority, clergy and nobility in Northern Estonia. Most of the vassals chose Toompea for their residence – living in their estates in the conquered countryside was deemed too dangerous; by the end of the 13th century the Great Castle was densely populated. Toompea has a radial net of streets – all streets start at the Dome Church Square and stretch to the walls of the fortifications. In 1684 Toompea suffered the most devastating fire of its history. Toompea had
2 Towns (Upper & Lower Town) Tallinn used to be divided into 2 parts - Upper Town where lived the aristocracy, gentry and the clergy; and Lower Town with traders, craftsmen and merchants. Legend says the Toompea Hill is actually the tumulus mound of the great Kalev. Linda carried rocks to his grave. It is a naturally- formed limestone hill. Lower Town was a merchantile centre, Tallinn also belonged to the Hansaetic League (1285). It is often referred to as the town of citizens. Any grown-up, married and economically independent
In 1265 de Montfort called Parliament. For the first time nobles & spokesmen from both towns & shires met. It was made up of barons, bishops and abbots as usual, but also included 2 knights from every hire and 2 burgesses from every borough. Many nobles didn't support Simon de Montfort, a civil war broke out. De Montfort was defeated and killed. In 1295 Henry III's son Edward I brought together the ,,represantive institution", ,,Model Parliament", the 1st to include nobles, clergy & commoners. It was a mixture of ,,gentry" knights & wealthy freemen from the shires & merchants from the towns. He divided Parliament into 2 parts the nobles formed the House of Lords, the other part was called the House of Commons (middle class). Edward I became king at the age of 35. He was a fine warrior & won the respect of his subjects. He was very tall & strong and his nickname ,,Longshanks" referred to his long legs. He was married twice. From his 1st marriage (Eleanor

And there were some smaller towns like Rakvere and Paide, mercilessly plundered in the Northern War. Townspeople had to fight hard with the neighbouring landlords who considered them as. The population kept growing very slowly: in 1862 the number of townspeople was 64 000, which formed only 8.7 per cent of the population living on Estonian territory. The Estonian population in 1782 was divided according to social class as follows: nobility 0.6%; the clergy, townspeople, and other free people (excluding the Swedish "free peasants" of the coast and islands, resident since the 13th century); peasants, of who'm most were serfs. The split between social classes in Estonia was further deepened by the virtual coincidence of the borders between social class and nationality. The most important category in determining one`s social allegiance was the differentiation Deutsch and Undeutsch.
published an edition of the 1598 (almost exactly 100 years after the original writing by Rojas) work by Guadalupe Lacalle, who "concluded that the printed edition of 1631, is a complete, but bowdlerized text, as Mabbe had made a large number of alterations and mentions of God's name or religious observance, not to mention some of the less religious observance of the Spanish 4 clergy noted by Fernando de Rojas" (Severin pg XIV). On page 65 Mabbe translates "en las bestias, en la saves, en las reptilias" as "birds, beasts and all creatures that creep and crawl upon the earth." A small example of how he extends the words. Mabbe made the translation at the age of twenty-six while a student at the University of Oxford. He used the edition from 1502 of the tragicomedia with all 21 acts, as well as the Italian translation published in 1506 by Ordóñez
William the Conqueror. Barons were responsible directly to the king; lesser lords were directly responsible to a baron. Under them were the peasants, tied by a strict system of mutual duties and obligations to the local lord. They were forbidden to travel without their lords permission. Evolution of Parliament, the Model Parliament The Model Parliament is the English parliament set up in 1295 by Edward I. It was the first Parliament to include representatives from outside the clergy and aristocracy, and was established because Edward needed the support of the whole country against his opponents: Wales, France, and Scotland. Independence of Scotland The first time Scotland got to be independent was after the First Scottish War of Independence. The First War of Scottish Independence started in 1296 by the English invasion of Scotland. The First Independence war ended with de jure restoration of Scottish independence with the Treaty of Edinburgh-Northampton in 1328.
Roman Empire. Cassiodorus, in the monastery of Vivarium (established around 540), stressed the importance of copying texts. St. Benedict of Nursia, in his Regula Monachorum (completed around the middle of the 6th century) later also promoted reading. The Rule of St. Benedict (Ch. XLVIII), which set aside certain times for reading, greatly influenced the monastic culture of the Middle Ages and is one of the reasons why the clergy were the predominant readers of books. The tradition and style of the Roman Empire still dominated, but slowly the peculiar medieval book culture emerged. Before the invention and adoption of the printing press, almost all books were copied by hand, which made books expensive and comparatively rare. Smaller monasteries usually had only a few dozen books, medium-sized perhaps a few hundred. By the 9th century, larger collections held
first reported in June 1348. It reached London in the autumn of that year, and by the next summer it had covered the entire country. By December 1349 the outbreak was mostly over. 3 Though accurate estimates of mortality are difficult to make, the recent trend has been to adjust the estimates upwards. This is the result of recent scholarship's focus on the peasant society which made up around 90% of the population rather than the greater landowners and the clergy. While it was previously assumed that one third or less of the population died, today a number around half is generally accepted, though some have suggested an even higher mortality. (Wikipedia homepage: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Black_Death_in_England) In 136162 the plague returned to England, this time causing the death of around 20% of the population. After this the plague continued to return intermittently throughout the fourteenth

in 886. A treaty the Danelaw was signed between King Alfred the Great of Wessex and Guthrum, Danish king of East Anglia. England was divided. Later, the Anglo-Saxon dynasty was restored and lasted until 1066. The last famous Saxon king of England was Edward the Confessor. In 1066 at the battle of Hastings the Norman Duke William defeated the Saxon King Harold and was crowned the king of England. In Norman times three languages were spoken: Latin (by the clergy and the university scholars), Norman-French (by the aristocracy and the king), Anglo- Saxon German (by common people). By the 14th century Norman-French and Anglo-Saxon German formed one language called Middle English. Medieval Britain (1066-1485): 1066 the Battle of Hastings between the Anglo-Saxons and the Normans.

Catherine. Charlotte Brontë Charlotte Brontë was a British novelist, the eldest of the three famous Brontë sisters whose novels have become standards of English literature. Charlotte Brontë is best known for Jane Eyre, one of the most famous of British novels. Charlotte Brontë was born in Thornton, Yorkshire, England, the third of six children. In August 1824, Charlotte was sent with three of her sisters; Emily, Maria and Elizabeth, to the Clergy Daughters' School at Cowan Bridge in Lancashire (which she would describe as Lowood School in Jane Eyre). At home in Haworth Parsonage, Charlotte and the other surviving children -- Branwell, Emily and Anne -- began chronicling the lives and struggles of the inhabitants of their imaginary kingdoms. Charlotte and Branwell wrote stories about their country -- Angria -- and Emily and Anne wrote articles and poems about theirs -- Gondal
Like popes, patriarchs, metropolitans, cardinal bishops, diocesan bishops, and suffragan bishops, archbishops are in the highest of the three traditional orders of bishops, priests, also called presbyters, and deacons. An archbishop may be granted the title, or ordained as chief pastor of a metropolitan see or another episcopal see to which the title of archbishop is attached. Bishop is an ordained or consecrated member of the Christian clergy who is generally entrusted with a position of authority and oversight. Some Protestant churches including the Lutheran and Methodist churches have bishops serving similar functions as well, though not always understood to be within apostolic succession in the same way. One who has been ordained deacon, priest, and then bishop is understood to hold the fullness of the (ministerial) priesthood, given responsibility by Christ to govern, teach and sanctify the Body of Christ,
Raamat Raamat algab keskaegses Pariisis 6. jaanuaril 1482 kui käimas on Narride pidustused. Rahvas ootab müsteeriumi (keskaegne piibliaineline etendus) algust, kuid kardinal ei olnud kohale jõudnud. Rahvas soovis algust näha ja seejärel alustada narride kuninga valimisega. Rahvas muutus rahutuks ja ähvardasid autorit, Pierre Gringoire't. Ta otsustas etendusega siiski algust teha (The Good Judgment of Madame the Virgin Mary). Tegelased esindasid nelja erinevat prantsuse klassi (Clergy, Nobility, Trade, and Labor). Rahva arvates on see etendus igav. Rahvas pöörab oma tähelepanud Clopin Trouillefou'le, kerjusele (who climbs his way up to the stage, crying out: "Charity, if you please!"). Ka näitlejad kaotavad huvi etenduse vastu. Sisse astub Kardinal. Ta on populaarne ja võimukas kes satub tähelepanu keskpunkti.

On 5 August, George Burroughs, Martha Carrier, George Jacobs, John and Elizabeth Proctor, and John Willard were tired and found guilty. John Proctor was a farmer aged about 60. He was an outspoken man who was openly sceptical about the witch trials. Nevertheless it was his wife Elizabeth who was accused first. John Proctor bravely defended her and as a result he was accused of being a witch. John Proctor wrote a letter to the Boston clergy denouncing the unfairness of the trials. His letter probably did have some effect but unfortunately it did not save his life. Elizabeth Proctor was spared because she was pregnant but the others were hanged on August 19. Before John Proctor died he said the Lords Prayer (the `Our Father)', without making any mistakes. Witches were not supposed to be able to do that and he sowed seeds of doubt in many people's minds

These areas were gradually reconquered and brought back under English control by Alfred's successors. *Feudalism and the manor system Manorialism, otherwise known as the Manorial System, is the political, economic, and social system by which peasants of medieval Europe were made dependent on their land and on their lord. The manorial system was the most convenient device for organizing the estates of the aristocracy and the clergy in the European Middle Ages. Feudalism is a hierarchical system in which a lord or king gives a gift or land to a vassal in exchange for protection. The decline of feudalism can be marked by the crusades. *Edward the Confessor was an Anglo-Saxon King of England and the last of the House of Wessex. His reign marked the continuing disintegration of royal power in England and the enlargement of the great territorial counts. Edward was canonized and is regarded as the
Galileo agreed to this condition but still maintained that his mechanical philosophy described the natural world better than any alternative explanation. He was confident, extremely confident, that his position was the correct one. So confident was Galileo that in 1632 he imagined that the decree regarding his public advocacy of Copernican theory could be overturned. He began to criticize the clergy, who would preach the damnability and heresy of the new doctrine from their very pulpits with unwanted confidence, thus doing impious and inconsiderate injury not only to that doctrine and its followers but to all mathematics and mathematicians in general. The new science, so though Galileo correctly, was unsuited to pulpit discussion. In fact, Galileo was more
It was able to make laws, and to make political decisions. However, the lords were less able to provide the king with money, except what they paid him for the lands they held under feudal arrangement. A Real Parliament Edward I (1272 – 1307) brought together the first real parliament. In 1295 he commanded each shire and town to send two representatives to what became known as the Model Parliament. There the barons and the high clergy were present together with the knights and burgesses representing the shires and towns (or boroughs) 4. The ‘House of Commons’ as a separate chamber resulted from the unofficial meetings of these knights and burgesses. The person chosen to ‘speak’ for these ‘commoners’ in Parliament and to the king became known as the Speaker5. In the fourteenth century the House of Lords and the House of Commons became separate chambers. Special and Important

Mr. Collins listened to her with the determined air of following his own inclination, and, when she ceased speaking, replied thus: "My dear Miss Elizabeth, I have the highest opinion in the world in your excellent judgement in all matters within the scope of your understanding; but permit me to say, that there must be a wide difference between the established forms of ceremony amongst the laity, and those which regulate the clergy; for, give me leave to observe that I consider the clerical office as equal in point of dignity with the highest rank in the kingdom--provided that a proper humility of behaviour is at the same time maintained. You must therefore allow me to follow the dictates of my conscience on this occasion, which leads me to perform what I look on as a point of duty.
