la mesta

Yo pienso que la asociacion de la mesta es buena porque :
1ºPor que le dan mucha poder al pais.
2ºPor que las rutas de la transumancia unen las ciudades de todo el pais.
3ºPor que se benefician de la gran calidad de la lana de las ovejas.
4ºPor que aumentó mucho el comercio gracias a la lana y la carne de las ovejas.
5ºPor que la artesania aumentó mucho por la lana de las ovejas que hizo que se hicieran todo
tipo de prendas con esta lana de gran calidad.
Por otra parte no beneficia mucho por que las ovejas "destruyen" los campos y las cosechas de los agricultores y esto crea una gran disminución de este campo.

el viaje de marco polo

Marco Polo fue un mercader y explorador veneciano que, junto con su padre y su tío, estuvo entre los primeros occidentales que viajaron por la ruta de la seda a china. Se dice que introdujo la pólvora en Europa, aunque la primera vez que se utilizó en Occidente acaeció en la batalla de Niebla en 1262.
Los Polo (Marco, su padre y su tío) vivieron allí supuestamente durante diecisiete años antes de volver a Venecia. Tras su regreso, Marco Polo contaba a la sazón 41 años y comandaba una galera veneciana el día en que se libró, ante los muros de Korcula, en Croacia, una batalla naval contra la gran rival de Venecia, la república de Génova, en 1298. Los genoveses apresaron a Marco Polo, lo llevaron a Génova y allí, en la prisión, Polo dictó a un tal Rustichello de Pisa las memorias de su viaje fabuloso hasta Catai y el regreso por Malaca, Ceilán, la India y Persia. Rustichello redactó en un dialecto franco-véneto el libro conocido como Il Milione acerca de sus viajes. El libro se llamó originalmente Divisament du monde ,pero se popularizó como Libro de las maravillas del mundo y, más tarde, como Il Milione. Es creencia general que tal nombre vino de la tendencia del autor a referirse a grandes cantidades; "millones" pero es más probable que derivase de su propio nombre "Emilione", abreviado en Milione.

Pre-Columbian civilizatión

they live in south america.
This list of pre-Columbian civilizations includes those civilitations and cultures of the americaas which flourished prior to the european colonization in the americas. These Pre-Columbian civilizations established characteristics such as permanent or urban settlements, agriculture, and complex societal hierarchies.
Many of these civilizations had long ceased to function by the time of the first permanent European arrivals and are known only through archaelogical investigations. Others were contemporary with this period, and are also known from historical accounts of the time. A few (such as the Maya) had their own written records. However, most Europeans of the time largely viewed such text as heretical and few survived Christian pyres. Only a few hidden documents remain today, leaving modern historians with glimpses of ancient culture and knowledge.
From both indigenous American and European accounts and documents, American civilizations at the time of European encounter possessed many impressive feats such as the most populous city in the world as well as modern theory of astronomy and mathematics.
Where they persist, the societies and cultures which gave rise to these civilizations may now be substantively different in form to that of the original. However, many of these peoples and their descendants still uphold various traditions and practices which relate back to these earlier times, even if combined with those more recently-adopted.
The cultures are listed alphabetically, with the approximate time interval of existence and modern-day location.

Enrique VIII (28 de junio de 1491 – 28 de enero de 1547) fue rey de Inglaterra y señor de Irlanda desde el 22 de abril de 1509 hasta su muerte. Fue el segundo monarca de la casa Tudor, descendiente de su padre, Enrique VII. Famoso por haberse casado seis veces y por ejercer el poder más absoluto entre todos los monarcas ingleses. Entre los hechos más notables de su reinado se incluye su ruptura con la Iglesia Católica Romana, y su establecimiento como cabeza de la Iglesia de Inglaterra (Iglesia Anglicana), la disolución de los monasterios, y la unión de Inglaterra con Gales.
También promulgó legislaciones importantes, como las varias actas de separación con la Iglesia de Roma, de su designación como cabeza suprema de la Iglesia de Inglaterra, las Union Acts de 1535 y 1542, que unificaron a Inglaterra y Gales como una sola nación, la Buggery Act de 1533, primera legislación contra la sodomía en Inglaterra, la Witchcraft Act de 1542, que castigaba con la muerte la brujería.La protección que dispensó al pintor alemán Hans Holbein se tradujo en una formidable serie de retratos y dibujos a color, que efigian a muchos personajes de la Corte de aquella época. Destaca la efigie del propio Enrique VIII.

El asedio de Antioquía, de una miniatura medieval, durante la primera cruzada.
Las cruzadas fueron una serie de campañas militares comúnmente hechas a petición del Papado, y que tuvieron lugar entre los siglos XI y XIII, contra los turcos selyúcidas y sarracenos (llamados así los musulmanes) para la reconquista de Tierra Santa.
Caballeros de la quinta cruzada llegan al fuerte de Damietta
Básicamente, parece que fueron motivadas por los intereses expansionistas de la nobleza feudal, el control del comercio con Asia y el afán hegemónico del papado sobre las monarquías y las iglesias de Oriente, aunque se declararan con principio y objeto de recuperar Tierra Santa para los peregrinos, de los cuales los turcos selyúcidas, una vez conquistada Jerusalén, abusaban sin piedad.
Posiblemente, las motivaciones de quienes participaban en ellas fueron muy diversas, aunque en muchos casos se puede suponer también un verdadero fervor religioso.
Las Cruzadas fueron expediciones emprendidas en cumplimiento de un solemne voto para liberar los Lugares Santos de la dominación musulmana. El origen de la palabra se remonta a la cruz hecha de tela y usada como insignia en la ropa exterior de los que tomaron parte en esas iniciativas.

Básicamente, parece que fueron motivadas por los intereses expansionistas de la nobleza feudal, el control del comercio con Asia y el afán hegemónico del papado sobre las monarquías y las iglesias de Oriente, aunque se declararan con principio y objeto de recuperar Tierra Santa para los peregrinos, de los cuales los turcos selyúcidas, una vez conquistada Jerusalén, abusaban sin piedad.
Posiblemente, las motivaciones de quienes participaban en ellas fueron muy diversas, aunque en muchos casos se puede suponer también un verdadero fervor religioso.
Las Cruzadas fueron expediciones emprendidas en cumplimiento de un solemne voto para liberar los Lugares Santos de la dominación musulmana. El origen de la palabra se remonta a la cruz hecha de tela y usada como insignia en la ropa exterior de los que tomaron parte en esas iniciativas.

el proceso del pan en la edad media
Bread in the Middle Ages
They began to catch the wheath.
As mentioned above, bread and the art of baking were exported from Egypt and across the Roman Empire. During the early Middle Ages (5th Century) the Roman Empire started to break down but baking had already been embedded in Europe and even spread to Asia. The Vikings made bread mainly from Rye grains, which produces a dense, hard bread.
Circular loaves were often made with a hole in the middle allowing bread to be hung from a pole or rope.
Commonly, Kings, Princes and large households would have their own staff whose only duty would be baking. There were public bakeries, normally owned by the local land lord, where the poorer people brought their bread to be baked communally, and later where they could buy ready-baked bread.
It was the job of the housewives to bring their dough to the baker, who would then bake it into bread.
Medieval bread was very similar to the loaf we know today. According to historic sources, the taste was comparable to modern wholemeal bread made from stone-ground flour. Unfortunately very few original bread recipes have survived the passing of time. It can be presumed that as bread was such a staple part of the medieval diet, it was not considered necessary to include it in recipe books.
Some bakers used their positions to take advantage of their customers and had trap doors that would allow a small boy to pinch off a bit of the dough to later sell off as his own.
In England in the 13th Century practices like these led to a regulation known as the Assize of Bread and Ale.
This regulation regulated the price, weight and quality of the bread and beer manufactured and sold in towns, villages and hamlets and also laid out harsh punishments for brewers and bakers who were caught cheating.
In response, bakers commonly threw in an extra loaf of bread; this tradition lives on today in the modern "baker's dozen."
Nowadays it’s possible for anyone to become a Baker, all you need to do is go to a proper Baking School or opening a shop.
In Medieval times it was much harder and there were often apprenticeships which took 7 years. There were statutes to keep these rules in place and it preserved the art of baking.
There are a number of accounts of apparently 'different' breads from the Middle Ages. These included flat round loaves, round bread rolls, and famously ‘trencher bread’. The word trencher comes from the French verb trenchier or trancher’ which means "to cut".
Trencher Bread
It’s thought that trencher bread was more commonly served at feasts, where a person of substance was paying the bill.
For the wealthier host, bread trenchers were relatively cheap and had the bonus for of being easy to prepare and use.
Meat with sauce was served directly onto the bread platter, which had a shallow hollow or ‘trench’ cut into the bread to retain any gravy or juices, the plate could then be eaten along with the meal.
This became less common in the 16th Century and was replaced by a wooden bowl, with a circular hollow of about 6” in diameter.
The Assize of Bread and Ale was in place until the start of the 19th century, and was then abolished in London.

guillermo el conquistador

Guillermo I Rey de Inglaterra, más conocido como Guillermo el Conquistador, nació en 1027 ó 1028. Hijo del Duque de Normandía Roberto I, llamado también "Roberto el diablo" ó "Roberto el magnífico." Guillermo fue el fruto de una relación fogosa entre el duque su padre, y la hija de unos curtidores. Ella se llamaba Herleva fitz Courtanneur, aunque se la recuerda popularmente como "La Belle Arlette"
Algunos años después, "rompió" Arlette su relación con Roberto, y contrajo matrimonio con un vizconde (el cual, pudiera haber desempeñado un role de tapadera). Ambos, en este matrimonio, tuvieron juntos cuatro hijos; entre ellos había uno llamado "Odo de Bayeux", quien más tarde sería hombre de confianza de Guillermo, y uno de sus mejores consejeros. Adelaida Hermana de Guillermo fue bella doncella y llegó a esposar hasta tres condes durante su vida adulta.
Cuando Guillermo rondaba los 8 años, su padre decidió ir en peregrinaje a Jerusalén. Antes de marcharse, Roberto convocó a sus vasallos y una vez en asamblea, les ordenó jurar fidelidad a su hijo Guillermo. Los hombres obedecieron murmurando. Quizás Roberto no esperaba volver de Tierra Santa; si esto fue así, él tenía razón. Roberto murió durante su viaje, y su hijo ilegítimo se transformó en el nuevo Duque de Normandía. Es decir, Guillermo II.
Los "Barones" de Roberto se olvidaron rápidamente de su voto de lealtad, para con Guillermo. Cuando no luchaban entre ellos mismos, trataban de eliminar al joven duque. En primer lugar fue asesinado un guarda-espaldas de Guillermo, llamado Gilberto de Brionne. También mataron a su tío Osborn, hermano de Arlette, mientras protegía a Guillermo de unos secuestradores que habían invadido el dormitorio del muchacho. Asesinaron de la misma manera al preceptor o profesor particular de Guillermo.
No asombrados, los partidarios de Guillermo decidieron enviarle lejos de su hogar para facilitar su protección. Tío Walter, hermano de Arlette y de Osborn, en una obscura noche despertó a Guillermo y le sacó del castillo escondido en un carromato lleno de cadáveres (llamado los muertos de la noche) burlando así la guardia. Nadie supo donde permaneció Guillermo escondido, salvo la familia de su madre.
Guillermo creció alto y fuerte, como la mayoría de los muchachos de esos tiempos. A la edad de 15 años, se le hizo Caballero, y cuando cumplió los 19 ó 20, Guillermo fue a guerrear contra su primo Guy de Borgoña para defender sus derechos hereditarios. Con la ayuda de rey francés Enrique I, Guillermo pudo derrotar a Guy , forzando a continuación a los rebeldes a jurarle lealtad para siempre. Pero las batallas campales de "Guillermo el Bastardo," - así le apelaban sus enemigos - estaban lejos de terminar. Guillermo luchaba siempre contra alguien, incluso su aliado y protector el rey de Francia, entró en batalla contra él, y el joven Guillermo atacó sin piedad al cercado rey Enrique I, causándole a éste, enormes daños y pérdidas en su ejército. El rey a partir de entonces tomó grandes precauciones respecto a Guillermo, dícese preso de un profundo temor.
La Esposa De Guillermo
Cuando Guillermo llegó a sus años 20 pidió al conde Baldwin V de Flandes la mano de su hija Matilda en matrimonio; mas ella ya estaba enamorada de un inglés llamado Brihtric. Se dice que la hija del conde proclamó en voz alta que preferiría ser monja antes que la esposa de un bastardo. Guillermo se sintió tan furioso y herido en su orgullo que la abofeteó en plena calle, después la rasgó sus vestiduras, lanzándola al suelo, donde rodó una cuesta con ella.
No fue un comienzo muy propicio aquella unión, con todo Guillermo y Matilda se casaron, y parece ser que fueron absolutamente felices juntos. También se cuenta que Guillermo era alto y recio, aunque con los años engordó mucho, mientras que Matilda fue siempre pequeña- casi una enana - y delgada. Tuvieron al menos cuatro hijos y cinco hijas. Por cierto que el Papa, desde Roma, se opuso a la unión de Guillermo con Matilda, pues eran primos lejanos. Durante un tiempo fueron excomulgados junto con sus vasallos y toda la población plebeya de Normandía. Aunque después de varios años el Papa levantó el castigo y los admitió de nuevo en la Iglesia a cambio de construir dos abadías para el clero.
Guillermo en 1051 decidió visitar al rey de Inglaterra, Eduardo el Confesor. Edward había crecido en Normandía, y además eran primos entre sí. El "Confesor" era un hombre muy religioso que presumiblemente tenía el don de curar. Sus criados guardaban el agua de su baño para darla a la gente enferma que la bebía, o ponía sobre los ojos enfermos para recuperar la vista. Cien años después de su muerte, Eduardo fue santificado por la Iglesia Católica.
Aunque Guillermo tenía ya una joven esposa, Eduardo era soltero y por lo tanto sin hijos. Durante la visita le prometió a Guillermo hacerle su heredero al trono de Inglaterra - o al menos, eso es lo que Guillermo pidió.

DIFUCULTAD DE APODERARSE DE UN CASTILLO Y MEJORAR LAS ARMAS
Es muy dificil pues tienes que tener tropas y un ariete o cosas parecidas para poder hacer esto pues en los castillos de la edad media tenian una muralla y ademas unas torres en las se situaban los arqueros de estos una gran muralla y puentes levadizos,y en el caso de que entrases tenias que derrotar a un ejercito.
Despues de esto al menos que haya resultado muy eficaz tendrias problemas economicos entonzes recurririas a los herreros pero estaria la cosa muy dificil ademas no tendrias muchos guerreros pues tras una conquista es lo que sucede.

Palacio de Aquisgrán
El Palacio de Aquisgrán era todo un conjunto de edificaciones de tipo residencial, político y religioso, que fue erigido por el emperador Carlomagno como centro del poder carolingio. El palacio en cuestión se hallaba ubicado en la actual ciudad de Aquisgrán, en el oeste de Alemania, en el actual estado federado de Renania del Norte-Westfalia. Las partes esenciales del palacio carolingio fueron construidas en la última década del siglo VIII, pero los trabajos tuvieron continuidad hasta la muerte del propio emperador Carlomagno, en el año 814.
Quien diseñó los planos del Palacio fue Eudes de Metz, inscribiendo la obra dentro del programa de renovación política del reino, anhelada y estimulada por el propio emperador Carlomagno.
La mayor parte del Palacio quedó destruido a lo largo de los siglos, pero todavía subsiste la capilla palatina, que está considerada como uno de los tesoros de la arquitectura carolingia, así como un característico ejemplo de la arquitectura típica del llamado Renacimiento carolingio. La capilla, junto a la Catedral de Aquisgrán, está catalogada por la Unesco como Patrimonio de la Humanidad.
