A. My own area of expertise is in the Anglo-Norman 12th century, which has various detail differences from French and German culture at that time. I have come across the manuscript known as "Hortus Deliciarum", which was produced in Alsace at this time and includes a wealth of costume detail. There is also a German late-12th century re-enactment group (I.G.Wolf, e.V.) who have researched the topic in some depth.

How come all the 12th century churches in England were built by Normans?
Q. Were the English builders on strike so the Church had to hire French builders?
Asked by B - Sun Jun 20 06:09:33 2010 - - 6 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I suppose it has something to do with William the Conqueror and the Norman invasion, starting in 1066 (Battle of Hastings). The French, and more specifically the Normans, invaded England and brought all their own culture and vocabulary. So, 12th century churches in England were built in the Norman fashion. Also, English words like mutton, pork and beef are derived from the French words: mouton, porc and boeuf. Many more examples could be given.

11th and 12th Century Crime and Punishments?
Q. Please, list all the punishments in the 11th and 12th centuries, and serve a crime you would have to commit to receive said punishment. Thank you! Someone told me if a woman undermine authority, their hair would be cut, is this true?

A. In the 11th and 12th centuries in Europe civil punishments consisted mostly of execution in various ways, the most common being hanging. Thieves often had hands cut off if the authorities did not kill them. Church penalties were more varied and ranged from excommunication to death by several means. There were no real prisons as such where people served time. People were held until punishment was carried out, not imprisoned as punishment.

A. The 12th century was a time of transition for Scotland.

Lot's of pictures in the photos section, lots of articles in the files section, and really friendly people who answer any question. Beyond that, try Googling the following words: Bliaut, Norman clothing, Romanesque clothing The Bliaut was the high court dress of the 12th century (think of a medieval ballgown) and it was popularized as the quintessentially "medieval dress" by the PRB painters in the 19th century. Google "The Accolade" and you'll see an example.

A. In the 12th century? Not particularly. The major events of the argument which lead to the split - the Great Schism between the western (Latin/Roman) and Eastern (Orthodox/Greek) churches - happened in the 11th century. During the 12th century, relations, though strained, were still not too bad and there was a chance of reconciliation. However, the 4th crusade, in the early 13th century (c 1204) made things a lot more difficult, if not impossible. The leaders of the crusader army, against the express orders of the Pope, decided that Constantinople was too tempting a prize and they attacked the city which fell and was sacked. The Pope excommunicated the leaders but it was too late to mend the inevitable breach.

A. The summation of all Earth's velocities (speed + direction) over a 12 month period is so close to being the same in the 21st century as in the 12th century, that the overall time flow will have been the same. In other words, no time dilation. The frame of reference of Earth in 12th century is equivalent to that of Earth in the 21st century. Therefore, 1 year then is the same as one year now. If you were to compare a shorter period (say two months) over an interval when the Earth is moving one way (at 30 km/s) in the 21st century and when the Earth is moving the other way in the 12th century, then you could assume a difference of 60 km/s between the two frames of reference.

Most witch hunts were witch hunts in the sense that the McCarthy hearings were witch hunts-- except instead of communists these were defined as satan-worshippers to satisfy the powers that be. King James I of England was several good things, but he burned "witches" and among those he burned at least one is remembered fondly. Bloody Mary of course was horrible.

Asked by gprentice303 - Mon Apr 16 02:59:27 2007 - - 1 Answers - 0 Comments
A. Two major factors: 1) There were a number of agricultural innovations that, on average, increased crop yields from about 2:1 to 4:1. When land produces more food, then the society doesn't need as many people to do agriculture, which means they are available to do other things (like become merchants, lawyers, teachers, builders, etc.) One thing many people don't understand about our own society is that we are utterly dependent on regular, reliably spectacular crop yields to keep the vast majority of us doing things other than farming.
