Years 1154-1485 Henry I was the first unquestioned ruler. One of the most important kings in the Middle Ages. He had lands in Britain & France. Then the government was the monarch, a person, not a place. He had more land than any pervious king. After his marriage to Eleanor of Aquitaine, he also ruled the lands south of Anjou. His empire stretched from the Scottish border to the Pyrenees. England provided most of its wealth, but the heart was Anjou. Henry II began to regain royal control. During the war some barons had become very powerful
sentences and broken metre. Metaphysical influence The influence of the 17th cent Metaphysical poets can be seen in the intensity of the emotions she expressed and her use of startling metaphors. Inner struggle and nature Her poetry often reveals a painful inner struggle that may have been caused by religious doubt. Although she could not accept the doctrines of orthodox religion, she seemed to long for the comforts of unquestioned faith. Hers is the poetry of funerals, volcanoes, storms and shipwrecks, but it is also the poetry of butterflies, birds and sunrays. Her ability to capture in words the smallest detail of nature was one of her greatest talents. Reputation Initially she was considered to be an eccentric minor poet. Today she is regarded as one of the outstanding poets of the 19 th cent and a major influence on the poets of the 20th cent. Walt Whitman (1819-1892)
neurotics [and] psychotics ... for many years the world looked like a veritable isane asylum.. But, in fact, the witch-craze was neither a lynching party nor a mass suicide by hysterical women. Rather, it followed well-ordered, legalistic procedures. The witch-hunts were well-organized campaigns, initiated, financed and executed by Church and State. To Catholic and Protestant witch- hunters alike, the unquestioned authority on how to conduct a witch huntes the Malleus Maleficarum, or Hammer of Witches, written in 1848 by the Reverends Kramer and Spregner (the ,,beloved sons" of Pope Innocent VIII.) For three centuries this sadistic book lay on the bench of every judge, every witch hunte. In a long section on judicial proceedings, the instructions make it clear how the ,,hysteria" was set off: The job of initiating a witch trial was to be performed by either the Vicar (priest) or Judge of
*The Napoleonic Wars 1793-1815 were a series of conflicts involving Napoleon's French Empire. After the end of the French Revolutionary Wars, Britain declaired war on France. French power rose quickly, conquering most of Europe, but collapsed rapidly after France's disastrous invasion of Russia. The Napoleonic Wars ended following Napoleon's final defeat at Waterloo and the Second Treaty of Paris. The United Kingdom emerged as the most powerful country in the world. Britain's Royal Navy held unquestioned naval superiority throughout the world and her industrial economy made it the most powerful commercial country as well. *Viscount Nelson and Trafalgar 1805 He was a British flag officer famous for his participation in the Napoleonic Wars. He served in the Royal Navy for most of his life and won a number of significant victories, most notably at the Battle of Trafalgar in 1805, during which he lost his life. The Battle of Trafalgar was a sea battle fought between the British
that they had gone to school, an education in which practical learning was not a requirement. The elite inherited the European’s position; he inherited his huge offices; he inherited his more than 10 messengers; he inherited his sex on demand from his numerous secretaries; he inherited his disrespect of his subordinates; he inherited more than three cars; he inherited his huge houses with several servants and drivers. He inherited his demand for unquestioned authority and obedience. He was pampered beyond human endurance by the masses who expected to see a difference from Caucasian behaviour. Instead they found that their behaviour, in most cases, was more tyrannical than their Caucasian predecessors. But the elite’s excesses would not be allowed to go on forever unchallenged; unfortunately, the challenge came from the wrong quarters – the military.
loved like a savior, trusted like a father, and treated like an emperor. Other expla- nations have pointed to the kind of people who were attracted to the People's Tem- ple. They were mostly poor and uneducated individuals who were willing to give up their freedoms of thought and action for the safety of a place where all decisions would be made for them. Still other explanations have emphasized the quasi- religious nature of the People's Temple, in which unquestioned faith in the cult's leader was assigned highest priority. No doubt each of these features of Jonestown has merit in explaining what happened there, but I do not find them sufficient. After all, the world abounds with cults populated by dependent people who are led by a charismatic figure. What's more, there has never been a shortage of this combination of circum- stances in the past. Yet virtually nowhere do we find evidence of an event even
