    The foe Emico proclaimed in the hearing of the community that the enemy be driven from the city and be put to flight. Panic was great in the town.

    Paul Halsall's note: Ekkehard, a well-known German historian had completed a history of the world in the year 1101 when he determined to make a pilgrimage to Jerusalem On his return he entirely rewrote the particulars of his history relating to the First Crusade, and finally issued it as a little separate volume called Hierosolymita. His work is regarded by historical scholars as remarkably painstaking and temperate. After mentioning the capture of Jerusalem by Godfrey of Bouillon and his fellow-crusaders in 1099, Ekkehard continues: [Some declare the crusade inexpedient]…

    But rather he is challenging the British literary world, and their belief that they hold all the knowledge to Shakespeare’s plays. He does this constantly throughout the entire film, showing scenes of British scholars where he has put them on the spot making them seem as if they don’t know anything. A great example of this is when he is interviewing Emrys Jones, a well-known Shakespeare academic and he is asked a question to which he responds, “I don’t really know the answer.” Straight away the scene is cut and immediately followed by a different scene of Pacino explaining exactly what the British scholar couldn’t.…

    Throughout history, Richard III has been described as the most cruel of kings. Shakespeare’s famous play about said king has largely contributed to this image; the murderer of a big part of his family, kids even, people who cared about him. That might be the most bizarre thing: how Richard found it in his heart to do such horrifying things. For some reason, that family bond meant less to him than becoming king, the most powerful of all. But we should ask ourselves, was Richard his own maker or was he shaped by his situation?…

    Power is like a knife. A knife in proper hands can create pieces of culinary art, however, a knife in cruel hands only creates destruction. Power is misused in Aldous Huxley’s Brave New World and William Shakespeare’s Richard III and both literary works demonstrate the same consequences. Power destroys morality within the abuser and society. This exploitation of power will also lead to discontentment among the people.…

    Froissart’s writings on the feudal relationship between Richard III and Philip VI are likely inaccurate. Froissart wrote about how the two kings met how Richard paid homage to Philip upon taking the throne. Froissart described how ‘King Philip received the young King of England with all honour and dignity’. However, it is unlikely that this was true. In 1327 the English and French were still at war.…

    Maalouf gives the example of Saladin, who conquered the Crusaders and took the Holy City. Unlike the Franj leadership, Saladin never killed soldiers he captured. Instead, he asked for ransom for him to release them, an act that shows how merciful the Arab leadership was. This is also an evidence that Crusader leadership did not care about peace. Saladin acted in kind in order to avoid further bloodshed.…

    For The Burghers of Calais, the intended audience was those who commissioned the work — the town council of Calais, France, to commemorate the bravery of local heroes — as well as the citizens of Calais where the sculpture is displayed. During the 11-month siege of Calais in 1347, with dwindling food and water, six of the city’s leaders offered themselves as hostages to English King Edward III in exchange for the freedom of the city. King Edward III accepted the offer, ordering the men to deliver the keys to the city to his camp and then be executed, but his wife, Philippa, persuaded the king to spare the lives of the burghers as she believed their deaths would be a bad omen for the child she carried. Rodin read an account of the siege of Calais and the actions of the six burghers (or city leaders) to inform his work. Rodin decided to show the aspect of the narrative in which the burghers are leaving the city to journey to the English King Edward III’s camp, bearing the keys to the city and wearing ropes around their necks, believing they are to be executed.…

    The Tragedy of Richard III was based on the true life king who ruled 1483 to 1485, just two short years. Richard III was no doubt a really bad guy. He was a murderer, a tyrant, a hypocrite, and a traitor. Shakespeare presents Richard in an extremely negative way throughout the entire play. He was shown as an evil person; who was fascinated with the control that only being the king could have brought him, and he would have taken any risk that was needed to become the King.…

    Why the Crusades were started Crusades began as a series of some religious wars which the Latin Church sanctioned between the periods of 11th to 16th centuries.

    Man's Folly Shakespeare keenly describes the paradigm of English rule during the middle ages up to the renaissance. John of Gaunt describes England as a garden, this I believe was a statement that was directed toward the monarchy and the current "status" of the king, having soiled the kingship of many kings before him. The great folly of man has always been him seeing himself as "God" on earth, and thusly acting in the, "interest of God", when in reality he is justifying his own gain by these means.…

    In the opening Act of Richard the III, Shakespeare introduces the protagonist, Richard, with a soliloquy, revealing a brilliant and witty mind within a deformed body. The house of York, as described, has taken power and Edward “this son of York” has been crowned king. In lines 1-41 of Act 1, Scene 1, Richard reflects on how these events affect him. He begins the plots and descriptions that will fool successive characters (like his brothers). Shakespeare uses soliloquies as a mode of expressing the real thoughts of a character.…
