Description
This course of twenty-four lectures falls into three groups. The first eight lectures treat medieval society: the warrior aristocracy of knights, castellans, counts, and dukes; the and un peasants whose work in the fields made the existence of medieval society possible; and the townspeople, both artisans and merchants. Lectures Nine through Sixteen examine the intellectual and religious history of high medieval Europe. We will study monks and the monastic life; charismatic preachers, such as Francis of isi; and theologians, such as Thomas Aquinas. Attention will also be paid to those outside the religious mainstream, especially the heretics and s. The final eight lectures discuss the major political developments and events between 1000 and 1300, including the First Crusade, the Norman Conquest of England, and the granting of the Magna Carta. The general educational level of this material is intermediate. We will be able to delve into our topics and problems with a reasonably high degree of specificity--certainly more than is possible in the broadest of survey courses. Professor Philip Daileader is ociate Professor of History at The College of William and Mary. He earned his M.A. and Ph.D. in history from Harvard University.
