House of Lords

However, the portrayal of the Lord Mayor also indicated that such deportment was expected when addressing an respected upper class figure. The interview displayed in the press maintained clear status and class elements throughout, always referring to Lord Mayor by his proper title and with a deferential tone. The interview concluded with the Mayor thoroughly chastising her for her decision to…

Imagine a hot and brutal day in the fields, just like the day before, and the day before that, and the day before that, this is what life would be like for serfs in the middle ages. The middle ages was a time when feudalism defined the europeans in their world. The peasants or serfs worked the land for the knights and nobles and in return they received protection and a portion of the harvest to feed their families (OI). Even though the serfs had their work cut out for them, the vassals, got…

World Number 1 spot beckons Andy Murray Andy Murray finally finds himself on the right side of the finishing line. In his third consecutive Grand Slam final, Andy clinched the Wimbledon title to end his Grand Slam title drought. The entire country was in an ebullient mood and even the ever-poker faced Ivan Lendl was seen shedding a few tears. Andy joked about his supercoach: “He was telling everyone it was allergies, that he had hayfever. I don’t believe it.” But even before the celebrations…

warriors, revolving around three centers, that is the vassals, lords, and fiefs/land. Feudalism does not only incorporate the seizure of the land or the kings but also concentrates on the sovereignty of the state to exercise the feudal activities such as finance, military, justice among others. Apparently, the land turned to be private properties, which also changed the state to be individual properties. As a principle, for the feudal lords to ascend to power, it was not due to the approval…

little village in which Crispin lived in, but had to leave behind. In the book, Crispin and his mother Asta were serfs also there were lords which cared a lot about land. This type of government is called feudalism. Which consists of serfs which were at the bottom, soldiers/knights which were above serfs, lord's above the soldiers, and a king at the top. Since the Lord was always fighting for the King, he had the steward manage his land. Now that he has been declared a wolf’s head he can be…

The Feudal system was a system of obligations between lords and vassals. The level you were born in you would probably stay at that level for the rest of your life, as it was really hard to move up. There are four levels of the feudal system, Kings, Nobles, Knights, and Peasants. Feudalism started during the middle ages between the fall of Rome and the Renaissance. This time was when wealth was based on land, even higher than any currency. Basically all levels gave the levels lower than them…

face was wet all over with humble tears” (102 -103). In this case, the Lion is Yvain’s vassal and he is his lord, while Yvain is King Arthur’s vassal and the king his lord. However, the lion was only a vassal to Yvain, not to the king. Another instance of this kind of relationship is when Yvain defeats Lady of Landuc’s husband, he takes the lord’s land, wife, and title. There, he was lord over those lands and its peasants, but he was at King Arthur’s service nonetheless. The story of Yvain…

a formula for sound health.” The Word of Wisdom is a very simple but very effective way to eat for health but I think one thing always gets overlooked. Verse 12 and 13 very specifically state “flesh also of beasts and of the fowls of the air, I the Lord, have ordained for the use of man with thanksgiving; nevertheless they are to be used sparingly; And it is pleasing unto me that they should not be used, only in times of winter, or of cold, or famine.” (Italics added by me.) I am a vegetarian…

In the Middle Ages feudalism was the unwritten rules that determined the relationship between a lord and vassals. The vassal's obligations to the lords were loyalty, military service, and ransom if needed. The lords obligations to the vassals were protection and land (document 3). There were three main classes in medieval/feudal society. The three classes specifically are lords, vassals, and serfs. Document…

pork. Nobles were the third most powerful people, under the Pope and the monarch, so they would have to be addressed with sincere respect. The people living on the manor would refer to the noble, when they were talking directly to the noble, as “my lord.” If a noble decided to visit a vassal, the noble would be treated like it was his own castle. The noble would send a knight or vassal to collect some of a serf’s harvest. In turn the knight would keep an amount per peasant or serf and give the…
