Today in west civ, we went over the test that we took on Wednesday. I am very happy because I got a 96 on it! I need to move my grade up 2 more points form an 88 in order to get first honors this quarter. I hope I can but if I don't I will be really mad because this is exactly what happened to me last quarter. If I get an 88 as my final grade and it keeps me from first honors I'm gonna be pretty mad, but I think I will be able to move it up by the end of the year. After we went over the test, we took some notes:
- Feudalism: a political, military and
economic system based on land-holding and protective alliances.
- The
feudal pyramid:
- King
- The
most powerful vassals, nobles, and bishops
- Knights-
mounted warriors who received fiefs for defending their lord's land
- Peasants
(mostly serfs)- landless, powerless, moneyless, rights-less, just working
the land for "the man" (their lord)
- Manor:
the lords estate (House)
- The
lord's manor house
- A
church
- Some
workshops
- 15-30
families
- All
on a few square miles
- Good
news: its self-sufficient community
- Bad
news: its harsh if you're a peasant
- Peasants
are poor and pay high taxes
- They
have tax on grain, marriage, and church
- They
live in crowded cottages
- Live
with small animals and insects
- Eat
very simply
