In 1377. Edward III's reign ended and it marks the end to the Plantagenet Kings. From 1377 - 1485 the Royal Houses of Lancaster and York became Kings of England in the Middle Ages and ruled the English. In 1377 Edward III was succeeded by his grandson Richard II. The Black Death of 1348 - 1350 decimated the population of England, so in 1349 King Richard II attempted to limit the wages paid to labourers to their pre-plague levels. That caused the Peasants Revolt in 1381. Richard II gave promises to the peasants to calm them down. The final outcome was that the King's promises were ignored, and the oppression of the peasants continued. In 1382 the Bible was translated into English by John Wycliffe. In 1399 Richard II was succeeded by his grandson Henry IV. He lead England until 1413 and was then succeeded by his son Henry V. Henry V reign lasted until 1422. In 1422 his son Henry VI got on the throne. In 1453 the Hundred Years War ends
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. Nor did rural Estonians think of themselves as a nation: they rather considered themselves
role in the daily life of the Europeans. The major religion that ruled Europe during this time was Christianity. The only church that existed during the Middle Ages was the Catholic Church. The Catholic Church had a great control over the European people. The church was very powerful and could even control the kings of the land. 8.What was the social system like? Who were serfs and freemen? There was a very distinctive social class system during the Middle Ages. Most Medieval people were peasants, over 90%, but the divide between peasants and nobility was very clear-cut. The people were divided into royalty (kings, queens), nobility, hereditary nobility (dukes, barons), non-hereditary nobility (knights, peasants, freemen, slaves.) Serfs had no political power and were not allowed having control of property. They lived on the property of a noble vassal, and, in order to repay the vassal for letting the serf live on his property, the serf worked the
The story teaches, that having more money than you need is unlikely to increase your level of happiness. In the ballet there were two types of people. To the first type belonged the Farmer, whose most important life goal was to get more money. It can't be said that he was happy, because the process of gaining money hindered his relationships with others. He had no positive emotions or feelings and even his daughter did not love him because of his greediness. The second type of people were the peasants. In spite of they poverty, they were caring and cheerful. They sang and danced a lot and enjoyed their life without huge amounts of money. They could take the Farmers' money, but they did not, because it was not earned fairly. Compering to the Farmer, the peasants had right life morals and principies. In conclusion, I would like to say that it was one of the most powerful and interesting performances that I have seen in my life. The Estonian folclore was succesfully combined with

People dress up in different medieval clothes and have a great time. The Hanseatic days are held so people could test their skills, learn more about their history and just have fun. Before the festival can start people set up tents and workshops in the Old Town. Some stalls are set up on the streets while others are located in the courtyards of historical buildings. People also make or buy costumes for the festival. Some dress up as simple peasants while others prefer to play merchants, soldiers and knights. During the festival the Old Town of Tartu is divided into three areas, each representing a different historical era. Most of the events take place in Jaani town which takes people back into the hanseatic times. The streets are filled with stalls where artisans are selling their products and there are also many different activities for children and adults. The River town is all about ancient times. There are

Land which had been farmed by peasants was now dedicated to rearing sheep. The traditional open field system ended in favor of creating larger and more profitable farming units which required fewer people to work on them. This created a landless working class. Duty of overseers were to Work out how much money would be needed for the felief of the poor and set the poor rate accordingly Collect the poor rate from property owners
barley. They also grew peas, beans & lentils. Each family had a number of strips, oxen were shared, so the villagers worked more closely together. They had no fertilizers. The method they used is known as forced rotation of crops. The following year the field lay in fallow. The piece of land not cultivated was called waste land. The pastures & meadows were common. Besides tilling the soil, the Anglo-Saxons were also occupied with cattle-breeding, hunting & fishing. The peasants of the village formed a community. The Anglo-Saxons had Trial by Ordeal. In the 7-9th cent. the situation started to change. Not all member stayed equal. Military leaders & elders possessed more land & cattle and slaves. Land became private property, could be sold or presented or given in return for debts to another owner. Free peasants began to lose their freedom. Many fell into bondage. Lost their land. In return for the land had to work on sb's land. Many nobles seized land by force.

A relatively unique phenomenon: conquerors do not leave but the language of the conquered returns. In the case of English peasants as the Black Death killed off so many of them, the nobility did not have enough people to till the land and generally work for them. Peasants had been serfs, tied to their land: whenever they tried to escape from a lord who treated them badly, they had nowhere to go (except towns) another lord would have "extradited" them at once. Not so after the Black Death all lords were happy to receive new working hands. So because there were few of them and their was a great demand for them, the
Hastings. Now England had a Norman king William the Conquer. Norman kings ruled in England less than 100 years, during that time Normans brought England closer to the mainstream of European society. William introduced the feudalism. Under it, land was divided among noble overlords, or barons. Knights pledged their wealth and services to the overlords. In return overlords let them use their land. At the lowest end of the social scale were the serfs, peasants bound to the land. In 1154 the Norman time was at the end. In 1154 Henry II started to reign. Henry II was the king who increased royal power at the expense of nobles. His desire to control the Roman Catholic Church in England led to the murder of T. Becket. Richard I has become a model of a true knight. John(Richards brother) gained a weak, even villainous ruler. 1215 he signed the Magna Carta. This was the beginning of constitutional morachy in England.
Christianity. As the new clerics became the chroniclers, the old religion was partially lost before it was recorded. Despite these prohibitions, numerous elements of the pre-Christian culture of the Anglo-Saxon people survived the Christianisation process. Dress materials Anglo-Saxon clothing usually utilized only three types of fabric. Wool was a coarse material which was used for most garments. Lower class people, such as slaves and poorer peasants could only use wool for their garments, even garments worn against the skin. Linen, harvested from the flax plant, was a finer material which was used for garments. Silk was an extremely expensive material, and it was used only by the very rich, and then only for trim and decoration. Men`s fashion The primary garment consisted of a knee-length woolen tunic. For the poorer, this would be the only clothing worn, although some may have been given woolen trousers and shoes to wear

toppled from control of the Soviets in September, and by the Tsarists, who wanted to rescue Nicholas II and put him back on the throne. Lenin made peace with Germany ,the Treaty of Brest-Litovsk, in which Russia had lost much of Russia's best agricultural and industrial land to Germany, including Ukraine, Estonia, Latvia and Lithuania and the former army officers were angry about this. Also, the Bolshevik government had taken land from the Tsar and the nobles and given it to the peasants, and the civil war was supported by those landlords who had lost their land. All these enemies of the Bolsheviks co-operated to try to bring down the Bolshevik government. A second cause of the Civil War was the Czech Legion. These were some Czech prisoners of war being taken across Russia who in 1918 mutinied, took control of the Trans-Siberian Railway, and attacked towards Moscow. Finally, these groups within Russia were helped by the Great Powers, angry that
used to refer to land held in return for duty or service to a lord. The basis of feudal society was the holding of land, and its main purpose was economic. All land was divided into manors. Most manors contained a village. A baron was tenant-in-chief and had several manors. He passed on part of his military obligations to his tenants, who held manors from him. The tenants of each manor performed specific regular services for their lord. Under them were the peasants, tied by a strict system of mutual duties and obligations to the local lord, and forbidden to travel without his permission. The peasants were English speaking Saxons. The lords and the barons were French-speaking Normans. There were two basic principles to feudalism: every man had a lord, and every lord had land. The king was connected through this `chain' of people to the lowest man in the country. On the other hand, each lord had responsibilities to his vassals

The terms of the treaty stated that Soviet Russia renounced in perpetuity all rights to the territory of Estonia. Independence lasted 22 years. This period was one of great cultural advancement.Estonia underwent a number of economic, social, and political reforms necessary to come to terms with its new status as a sovereign state. Economically and socially, land reform in 1919 was the most important step. Large estate holdings belonging to the Baltic nobility were redistributed among the peasants and especially among volunteers in the War of Independence. Estonia's principal markets became Scandinavia, Great Britain, and western Europe, with some exports to the United States and Soviet Union. In World War II Estonia suffered huge losses. Ports were destroyed, and 45% of industry and 40% of the railways were damaged. Estonia's population decreased by one-fifth (about 200,000 people).More than 30,000 soldiers were killed in battles
develop in a positive sense. In overall Britain ruled several parts of the world, like India, parts of Africa, New Zealand, Canada, and Australia, but also Ireland. Just to prove my point I will give some examples how the British Empire affected its subjects. In the 19th century British culture and way of life became predominate in Ireland. In the 1840s the potato crop failed two years in a row and a terrible famine occurred. Millions of peasants, those with Irish Gaelic language and customs either died or emigrated. As a result by the end of the century almost the whole population were using English as their first language. On the other hand the British Empire is not considered to be a very imposing ruler. For example in the 19th century in India a distinct Anglo-Indian way of life developed. As India was so far away from Great Britain, the British officials basically spent their

Instead of lashed bamboo, workmen constructed a colossal brick scaffold that mirrored the tomb. The scaffold was so enormous that foremen estimated it would take years to dismantle. According to the legend, Shah Jahan decreed that anyone could keep the bricks taken from the scaffold, and thus it was dismantled by peasants overnight. A fifteen kilometer tamped-earth ramp was built to transport marble and materials to the construction site. Teams of twenty or thirty oxen were strained to pull blocks on specially constructed wagons. The plinth and tomb took roughly 12 years to complete.

Under the Normands the feudal system flourished. The new aristocracy was mostly Normand, many of them of French origin. Catholicism was the highest law (?). The church unified Europe. Abbeys and monasteries became centres of learning. 1168 the founding of Oxford University, 1209 Cambridge University. Alongside the church there was a very complex feudal system based on the idea of land ownership. Landed gentry noble people who owned land, right below aristocracy, quite above peasants etc. Towns grew, London became the true capital. A new class of people developed guildsmen. The guilds were organised by profession. Everything in medieval society was regulated, fixed. Medieval life was very austere (strict). Travel was difficult and dangerous (robbers, bandits). Food was terrible for the most part cabbage everyday! There were some compensations such as religious festivals time for the people to have fun. Crusades the aim was to reconquer the Holy Land.

of Normandy came defeated the Anglo-Saxon king Harold at the Battle of Hastings. Land was handed to the rich French who came to live in England. The power of these Norman Barons increased and they together with the Church began to challenge the king's absolute power. The king was forced to sign the Magna Carta in 1215 which significantly reduced the king's rights. The most important things that happened in this time were the Hundred Years' War, the Black Death and the Peasants' Revolt. The Hundred Years' War had a devastating effect on English economy. The Black Death killed about on third of all the population. The peasants wanted a better life and they started a revolt that was turned down but it led to greatly improved conditions for the peasant class. The Tudor England (1483-1603) started when the war between two royal families for the English Crown ended when Henry VII united the two rival houses, giving origin to the Tudor dynasty

She is figuring herself out, day by day. Part 3, Chapters 1-6 Levin's half-brother Sergey comes to visit. Whenever Levin and Sergey get together, they debate politics and intellectual issues for hours. Levin comes to realize this time that Sergey, a city man himself, has a rather distorted view of peasants, nature and the countryside in general. To Sergey, the peasants are worth little. "To Konstantin, the peasant was simply the chief partner in their common labor." Further, Sergey argues everything in his life intellectually; he never brings his heart or his emotions into the matter. It makes him seem devoid of something. For Levin, a man always searching for answers and spiritual development, this approach is not satisfactory. The road to knowledge can never be purely intellectual--it
Tallinn is said to be built on salt, as it was an important trading commodity. In the 16th century Tallinn had a population of about 7,000 8,000 making it one of the biggest cities in northern Europe. In 1629 Sweden took control of the whole of Estonia. Though hard times continued, the period that followed is known as the "good old Swedish era": foundations were laid for the Estonian school system, the privileges of the nobility were curtailed, local peasants were granted the right to own property, and so on. Peter the Great wanted to open a window onto Europe for Russia so he started the Northern War in 1700. Estonia remained under Russian rule and the Baltic-German nobility vowed allegiance to the Tsar; the barons were restored their former privileges. In 1870 a railway line was opened from St. Petersburg to Tallinn. Tallinn grew into a major port and an industrial centre. Estonians became conscious of their national identity
A century later its population of 7,000-8,000 made it one of the biggest cities in northern Europe. Unfortunately, prosperity did not last long due to the weakening of the Hanseatic League, epidemics, hunger and wars. Sweden finally managed to take control of the whole of Estonia in 1629. Though hard times continued, the period that followed is known as the good old Swedish era': foundations were laid for the Estonian school system, the privileges of the nobility were curtailed, local peasants were granted the right to own property, and so on. Meanwhile, different countries fought for domination in the Baltic region. Russia started the Northern War in 1700. Peter the Great had made it his aim to conquer Estonia and `open a window onto Europe' Together with the Russian troops, the plague came again and thousands of people died. A Russian general described the time after the war as follows: "Between Narva and Riga one can hear neither a dog
The Black Prince who was the living example of chivalry in England, was feared in France for his cruelty. Ed III reigned for 50 years (died in 1377). His soldier son, the Black Prince died in 1376.Ed III's 10-year-old grandson became King Richard II. The boy's uncle John Gaunt, ruled for him. Richard II was less fortunate. He had neither diplomatic skills nor popularity. He had bad advisers (a tax for every person over the age of 15). Landlords tried to force peasants back to serfdom. People revolted, their leader was Wat Tyler. R II managed to put it down, but the revolt was a warning to the king & nobles. R II was the 2nd king to be killed by ambitious lords. He had no children. There were 2 possible successors: 1) the earl of March, the 7-year- old grandson of Ed III's second son; 2) Henry on Lancaster, son of John of Gaunt. It was difficult to say who had better claim to the throne, but Henry was stronger. He took the crown by force. Became Henry IV
Eventually, King Alfred was able to confront the Vikings at Edington. Alfred had to concede the northern and eastern counties to the Vikings, York became the capital of the Viking Kingdom of York. 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

Moreover, one of the climaxing issues of the era the liberation of serfs- surfaces in the conversation, and Nikolai, despite adapting the obrok method, is not fully holding modernist views - " , , , , .." Ripp (1980) emphasizes, that although Nikolai finds himself as progressive and liberal, having tried to improve to conditions of the serfs, he cannot disguise his somewhat superior tone when speaking of peasants for example, has sold off the land that would be given to the freed serfs (" "). Therefore Turgenev presents the reader with an image of noblemen who, despite trying to modernize, still seek to gain profit at the expense of the to-be free peasantry before the reforms. Initially, Nikolai refuses to marry Fenichka based on their social status. The attitude towards peasantry is the key 2
(among them Charles Darwin's grandfather, Erasmus Darwin) had offered detailed theories of evolution (Clark, 1984, pg.24-25). Therefor the idea of evolution went very far back in Western history. At that time this concept was referred to as The Great Chain Of Life and was conceived in the middle ages, based on a mixture of classical and Biblical ideas. The ranking order ranged from the "lowest" forms of life to "higher" living beings (lion), through the various classes of human beings from peasants to nobles to Popes, and upwards through the hierarchy of angles to God. This concept, in and of itself, has nothing to do with evolution, in fact it seems to be anti-evolutionary, since every member is fixed in its own place. This chain was created in a time when the world was considered to be more static rather than a diverse collection of dynamic ideas. But the Newtonian revolution of the seventeenth century replaced the old static world with a new world view in which
discussed. In order to make it easier to put the decisions taken into practice, each shire had to elect a number of knights to attend these meetings and report the decisions to the shires. The Hundred Year's War fought between France and England had a devastating effect on the English economy. The high taxation necessary to finance the war and the Black Death led to extreme hardships for the peasant class that there was a revolt. Although the peasants' revolt was soon put down, it lead to improved conditions for the peasant class and was the first step towards the ending of the feudal system in England. No sooner was the Hundred Year's War over than a long power struggle began for the English crown between two families the House of Lancaster and the House of York. The War of The Roses ended when Henry VII united the two rival houses, giving origin to the Tudor dynasty.

2) free Blacks, emancipated slaves and their descendants made up the middle class; and 3) slaves who were household property, were the lowest class. The Creoles were the majority of the white population. They had a complex social organization, which included foreign groups such as Germans, Irish, and Spaniards whose names were given a French accent. The people who could trace their noble ancestors called themselves "Creole." Others were "chacas" or tradesmen, "chacalatas" or country folk (peasants), or "chacumas" for anyone with Black blood. All Creoles, no matter what level of society they were in, including slaves, looked down on the Americans. 3 Family life In the Creole family the father was dominant. His word was law.

Undoubtedly the meetings were also occasions for trading erbal lore and passing on the news. We have little evidence about the political significance of the witches' organizations, but it's hard to imagine that they weren't connected to the peasant rebellions of the time.

Academy's first explanatory Russian dictionary appeared. During the end of the 18th and 19th centuries, a period known as the "Golden Age", the grammar, vocabulary and pronunciation of the Russian language was stabilized and standardized, and it became the nationwide literary language; meanwhile, Russia's world-famous literature flourished. Until the 20th century, the language's spoken form was the language of only the upper noble classes and urban population, as Russian peasants from the countryside continued to speak in their own dialects. By the mid-20th century, such dialects were forced out with the introduction of the compulsory education system that was established by the Soviet government. Despite the formalization of Standard Russian, some nonstandard dialectal features (such as fricative [] in Southern Russian dialects) are still observed in colloquial speech.
