  That is often why new orders or new houses were founded, as monks upset when laxity took over their monastery decided to leave and start anew. Many became monks (or nuns) for the wrong reasons---some saw it as an easier lifestyle, some were younger sons or daughters stuck in their by parents who thought to have their sons rise up to be abbots and turn abbey lands over to their families, or to avoid expensive dowries for daughters, some were disabled vets (knights) who had little land of their own, some were relatives foisted on the monks without corresponding means to support them (lots and lots of complaints from abbots and abbesses about this), etc. And if they elected the right abbot or abbess (the monks or nuns chose their own leaders)---party city! There are innumerable complaints, sermons, writings, etc. about this sad state throughout the Middle Ages.

  Many channels, Medieval or otherwise, do videos about monks, and they do it with respect. Nuns get clickbait headlines like "Shocking SEX Lives of Nuns!!"

  Actually wide parts of Germany operated under something called “Gemeines Recht” (literally translating into common law) that was mainly based on precedences and legal customs. This kind of law was only eliminated when the unification of Germany necessitated unified civil and criminal codes for the Kaiserreich which were mostly based on French (Code Civil) and Canonic Law, however certain fundamental principles were preserved (Treu und Glauben).

Even though I went to law school, and practiced for a number of years, and my specialty is medieval English law, I still get confused over which court did what in medieval England. I suppose someday I should investigate the courts on the Continent, but I hesitate because if I'm having trouble with these English courts, how will I deal with these other courts?

  This is magnificent documentary! As a medieval fan I appreciate every moment of the video. I have some questions: When I look at the sizes of manors in domesday book, I can't help but wonder at the really big sized of the manors. even small manors of 1-3 households consisted of hundreds of acres. Was all of these acres fields? Obviously England was deforested more than Europe but is it to the point where 90% was agriculture land? Also, a household in domesday represent how many people on average? I'm wondering about the status of minor lords/knights holding a single manor that is essentially a village or even a hamlet, would these lords even sustain themselves, family, armor, horse etc with such a small fiefdom?

• 
  @historywaitsfornoone27842 ай бұрын

  Well, over the course of time manor were broken up (as were the peasant holdings, whether villein or franklin) due to inheritance, sale, donations (mostly to some local monastery, friary, nunnery, hospital, church, shrine, etc.), dowry (and sometimes dower), lease, mortgage, failure to pay back a loan, forfeiture (failure to perform required duties and obligations, sometimes for being on the wrong side of a rebellion, civil war, or private war, especially before the appearance of the concept of liege lordship), and sometimes simply because of the failure of the line of descent. P. D. Harvey's study of _The Peasant Land Market in Medieval England_ (1984) is the place to start on that subject, with a number of book-length and article studies by a number of historians since then. There are a number of studies on the different monasteries and their changes in landholding in this period, such as that by Barbara Harvey on Westminster Abbey. A recent article by Brooks, Bell, and Killick, " A reappraisal of the freehold property market in late medieval England" would be another great place to start. You can find it here: centaur.reading.ac.uk/83824/9/reappraisal_of_the_freehold_property_market_in_late_medieval_england.pdf

I would love to visit---as long as I couldn't possibly be harmed or come down with some disease or illness, but I would never want to live there, not even as a very wealthy Roman.

  Thanks for this video! I am writing a book based between 47-62 AD in Rome and am gathering information about the insulae. I would particularly like to know more about individual apartment layouts. I have heard they may have comprised only 2 rooms, but I've had trouble finding out how the rooms were used. Also, were any apartment larger than that? Did any include kitchens of any kind (even if they did not have fires/ovens or actually cook)? Anyway, I found your video informative and will add the details I learned to my research.

  I appreciate your efforts to educate viewers on sort of housing that the majority of Romans lived in in Ancient Rome, but I must tell you that I get very annoyed when the presenter fails to know his/her facts correctly and, if dealing with a foreign subject, checking out with those in the know about how to correctly pronounced names. You, I have to say, failed on these two points: some of your "facts" and some of your pronunciations. (1) You correctly pronounced 'insula' and the plural 'insulae', but you failed in pronouncing 'domus'. You assumed it's a masculine noun, but it isn't; it's actually feminine. Moreover, its plural is irregular: 'domus' is singular, and 'domūs' is plural. The macron over the u in the plural noun implies that the vowel should be held a bit longer than in the singular noun. In short, there is no 'domi' as you assumed would be the plural of 'domus'. And even if there were, the final vowel would be pronounced 'ee' (doh-mee), not 'eye' (doh-meye). (2) Next, I'd like to point out that nowadays, educated people don't use the terms 'BC' and 'AD' anymore when discussing a year. Now we say 'BCE' (before the Common Era) and 'CE' (in the Common Era). This is to leave religion out of dealing with years. (3) As for 'taberna', you're right in saying that the word simply meant 'shop' to the Ancient Romans, but you neglected to mention that the shops which sold food and drink were called 'popinae'. You'll sometimes hear them referred to as 'thermopolia', but that's a misconception. 'Thermopolium' was used for a very short period of time by the Romans, and most Romans wouldn't have understood what this meant. The common word was 'popina' (the plural being 'popinae'). (4) Another point: Those tenants who lived on the upper floors of an insula used chamber pots to do their business, and these were emptied in the most unsanitary, unhygienic of ways, namely out the window. I don't even want to imagine how the streets of Ancient Rome must have smelled. Please make sure in any future videos you create that you've thoroughly checked out your facts with experts and any pronunciations foreign to you. It's such a shame to come across a video on KZread with an interesting subject and then have it turned into something mediocre at best because of a lack of professional preparation before the video is made. As an Ancient Roman scholar might have said to you, "Debes pudere."

• 
  @historywaitsfornoone27843 ай бұрын

  Yes, I don't know how I made the domus mistake. I know how to correctly pronounce the names. I've tried using the BCE and CE in classes, but it simply confuses students who are used to the old ways, so I stopped trying to change the world. Its a personal preference on my part. I'm not a Latinist, but I am a historian, though my specialty is not Roman architecture. I have to rely upon my sources.

  Well, we know women were sequestered in ancient Greece, and only men had public access, legal rights and status.

• 
  @historywaitsfornoone27844 ай бұрын

  Well, that was the thing. The research I relied upon, new findings, are by female archaeologists and historians. Yes, women ("respectable" women anyway, i.e., neither prostitutes nor slaves), were largely confined to their houses (at least in Athens, possibly elsewhere though there is less information about places other than Attica, and Sparta and similar societies in Crete and along the western edge of the Greek mainland, were probably matrifocal), though there were some religious festival and other exceptions. The question was whether there was something like the later "harem"---19th century historians and archaeologists, overwhelmingly male, assumed there was, that if there was an andron, a male-only room, there must have been a female-only room. But the archaeological evidence just doesn't seem to bear that out. Women had the run of the house, including the andron when no non-familial men were present (someone had to clean it, and I doubt very much that the man of the house did that). But there was nothing like a room where the women were normally sequestered, nothing like some of the housing in the Ancient Near East, the medieval Islamic world, or even the houses in South or East Asia. I was surprised too.

  Daub can also be chopped plant material, usually straw, and clay, it doesn’t have to be feces! If a “fat clay”, stickier and more plastic than a “lean clay” is available, that would be the preferred material.

• 
  @historywaitsfornoone27844 ай бұрын

  Could be. That's what I always thought it was. I first encountered it being feces with peasant huts for my Medieval Civ. class. Then the next time I taught my Ancient Civ., and then the South Asian Civ., the East Asian Civ., and looked into the original adobe houses in the New World, archaeological, and contemporary observer reports, had feces as the common denominator in the mixture with the clay or mud. I'm not a biologist or physician, but I'm guessing it has some kind of special binding quality---plus there is an endless natural supply of it. Straw would work just as well though. In the Ancient Near East, as mentioned in the Bible with the Israelites in Egypt, they usually mixed straw with clay to make bricks. The ancient Egyptians, however, did not, which puts an interesting spin on that whole Moses and the Israelites suddenly "forced" in bondage to make bricks without straw.

  What are some of the kinds of primary sources for this information? Because it seems like this is the type of information that would easily get lost over time because nobody wrote it down. Do the universities have documents that go back that far or is it based on what can be gleaned from texts that are about something else? Because of details like how many years it took I suppose that must mean that there does exist a text that spells it out.

• 
  @historywaitsfornoone27845 ай бұрын

  Yes, there are tons of documents that exist, from university charters and statutes to students' songs, letters, complaints, etc. You can start by looking at works by Charles Homer Haskins, Hastings Rashdall, and Hunt Janin, and look at the sources, both primary and secondary, they cite in their bibliographies. Or look at individual histories of the universities of Oxford, Cambridge, Paris, and Bologna (the first four to appear in medieval Europe). There is also a tremendous amount of primary documents in translation in Lynn Thorndike's 1944 :University Records and Life in the Middle Ages." Also, Robert Francis Seybolt's 1921 translation of "The Manuale Scholarium: An Original Account of Life in the Mediaeval University". Also try A. F. Leach's 1911 translations of medieval "Educational Charters and Documents."

What you have to say seems interesting and valuable, but I find listening to be nearly impossible, primarily because of the un-associated music that blares in the background whenever you stop speaking. Likewise, I am unable to associate your verbal emphasis with the what you are saying and excellent images. The excellence of your content is being overwhelmed by the character of your presentation.
