My unit does not include all of the facts listed below, but I thought it would be a good idea to get somewhat of a “feel” for what the Medieval era was like before diving right into the unit.  \nThe term “Medieval” comes from a Latin word and means “the Middle Ages” between Classical Rome and the Italian Renaissance. The Middle Ages covers a period roughly from the fifth century to the end of the 15th century. One can read about kings, monks, lords, ladies, knights, and castle life to name a few examples.  \nThe society of the Middle Ages was dominated by feudalism. Under this system, land was allocated from the king to noblemen and in return the nobleman vowed to supply the king with soldiers for protection. The noblemen further divided the land among lords and knights. The peasants, who were at the lowest ranking order, were required to work the land to have a place to live and to produce crops. Everything the peasants owned belonged to the manor, and they were tied to the soil.  \nThere were few cities at that time.“Most country people lived on a manor which consisted of a village, the lord’s house or castle, a church, and the surrounding farmland”(Langley14).  \nThe lord of the manor acted as judge and had the authority to fine anyone who was caught breaking the law. He ruled the community in which the manor was located and made sure that the people in the villages carried out their duties, which included farming the land and paying taxes from the produce.  \nMedieval homes were different from ours. The lord’s house or castle was considered a home and was decorated somewhat elaborately, and in contrast, the peasants lived in a one or two room house, but their homes were kept very clean from the constant sweeping of the floors.  \nThe church considered Medieval women to be subservient to men, but many women worked along side their husbands, and many held jobs and owned land. Girlhood did not last long. Usually girls were married by the time they were fourteen. They were taught how to sew, read, sing, and write Latin.  \nSince there were no stores, the manor was forced to buy products from peddlers who passed through. Later on as more goods were produced, the peddlers became merchants and employers who sent out carriers for people in towns and villages to purchase products from.  \nThere were several kinds of trades. Some of the more prominent were cobblers who made shoes, stonemasons who built cathedrals and castles, and spinners and weavers who made cloth, to name a few.  \nThe Catholic Church was the only church in Europe during the Middle Ages, and all Christians were members. The Church was very powerful because it had its own laws and owned its own land. The Church wielded great power over people’s hearts because it advocated that if they followed the teachings of Christ, they would be rewarded in heaven.  \n116 Houston Teachers Institute  \nEntertainment and entertainers played an important role in the Middle Ages. Some entertainers were jugglers, court jesters, clowns, troubadours, and minstrels. Often they performed at the castle in the Great Hall and in the towns.  \nThis overview is by no means complete nor was it meant to be. I merely attempted to give some background information about the Middle Ages that may or may not be useful to some people who choose to read this unit.  \nINTRODUCTION  \nThe goal of this unit is to focus on the day-to-day lives of knights and ladies of the Medieval era. It is also my intent to discuss some aspects of castle life. The Middle Ages have come and gone leaving a lasting impression with its many aspects on the world, and I would like to afford my students an opportunity to be “transported” if you will, into the past to explore castle life, the prerequisites for becoming a knight, and the relat","cbCaibqkPsrtazZt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaibqkPsrtazZt","pdf",47194,13,"English","# Overview\n## Medieval society and feudalism\n## Manor life, homes, and women\n## Church, trades, and entertainment\n# Introduction\n## Unit goals and learning focus\n## Social hierarchy in the castle","[{\"question\":\"What time period does the document define as the Middle Ages?\",\"answer\":\"It describes the Middle Ages as roughly from the fifth century to the end of the 15th century, with a reference range of about 500–1500 A.D.\"},{\"question\":\"How does the document explain feudalism and its role in medieval society?\",\"answer\":\"Feudalism allocates land from the king to noblemen, who then supply soldiers.
