BAB II

ZAMAN ANGLO-PERANCIS

1. Pemerintahan Edward The Confessor dan Penaklukan oleh Normandia
Edward The Confessor adalah seorang yang menetap di Perancis dan berdarah Normandia, maka ketika dia menjadi raja Inggris, dia mangangkat orang-orang Normandia dalam kedudukan tinggi. Dampak dari hal itu adalah setelah dia meninggal, Inggris berhasil ditaklukan oleh Normandia. Dia mewariskan kerajaan yang terpecah menjadi 7 daerah feudal yang dikuasai oleh seorang “earl”. Inggris dibawah kekuasaan Edward tidak mengalami perkembangan apapun kecuali dalam bidang agama.
Setelah Edward meninggal, dipilihlah Harold, putra Godwin, Earl of Wessex, namun ditentang oleh Harld Hardrada, raja Norwegia, dan William, Duke of Normandy yang berhak atas tahta Inggris. September 1066 pasukan raja Norwegia mendarat di Inggris Utara, namun beberapa minggu kemudian dia terbunu oleh pasukan William dari Normandia di Hasting (Inggris Selatan).

2. Akibat Penaklukan oleh Normandia
Normandia (daerah Perancis) sesungguhnya dikuasai oleh keturunan-keturunan Skandinavia tang menyerang Perancis pada awal abad 10. Raja Perancis tidak mengusir mereka sehingga membuat perjanjian dan akhirnya menamai negeri itu Normandia. Orang-orang Normandia tidak mempertahankan kebudayaan asli mereka namun mengadopsi kebudayaan Perancis. Mereka meniru feudal Perancis (feodalisme teritorial). Di Norwegia dikenal system kasta yaitu Duke (kedudukan paling atas), knight, lord, subject. Dalam bidang politik, Duke telah dapat memaksakan kekuasaannya pada para Baron yang di beri kekuasaan atas daerah-daerah dan pada para knights.
Di Normandia Duke dapat berkuasa bahkan pembangunan istana harus seijin Duke, oleh karena itu semua keuangan Normandia sangat kuat. Para Duke juga berhubungan dengan gereja di Normandia. Keadaan ini terjelma setelah Normandia membangun kembali sarana keagamaan yang hancur akibat serangan

    The book 1066 The Year of the Conquest by David Howarth is an overview of one of the most important years in England’s history. At the start of 1066 the death of King Edward would spark a series of events that would eventually lead to the changes in England. Throughout the book it discusses this dramatic year and all these events that took place from various different perspectives. These stories are from contemporary sources from all sides of the conflict explaining their perspective of what was happening during this time. As one might expect, the people living through this will obviously form bias opinions based on where they are from. Howarth does a great job of staying neutral, giving him the ability to tell every story as it is while also adding his own personal insight. In addition to the various perspectives, he does a great job of bringing forth a historic event and not holding it to today’s standards.…

    The Edward’s Case opened in mid-March. The town was recovering from a long, cold, and difficult winter; the blanketed corpse of the Old Man had only just begun to fade away. The morning air was crisp, and a nimbus shadow veiled the town below. The trees were emerging from their wintry tombs, stretching their limbs in the breeze, awakening from their slumber. It was under this early vernal landscape that young Benjamin had vanished and that Mr. Cunningham had…

    In the book Of Mice And Men Steinbeck passage 5 uses diction to reveal the the theme, loneliness can be painful and isolating. In this passage, Carlson is about to put down Candys dog, his oldest companion. “The silence fell on the room again. It came out of the night and invaded the room.”(Steinbeck). This quote is an example of the way Steinbeck uses diction because he could of just said “the room got quiet” but instead he chose to elaborate and it made the reader understand that the dog was being killed and it expresses how the men are feeling. The theme in the book is loneliness can be painful and isolating, which also ties back to the quote because the silence is used to represent the ides of loneliness. Carlson is about to kill the…

    Diction In The Raven

    Every author models and constructs his/her work based on experiences and journeys throughout their life. With a childhood and adolescence plagued by deaths of those close to him, Edgar Allan Poe focuses much of his pieces on the deceased. His poem “The Raven” concentrates on the encounter of a widower and a raven. Questioning the raven regarding his late wife Lenore, the man does not receive the responses he is longing for, forming a sinister tone towards the perception of death. Meanwhile, “Annabel Lee”, originally published in 1849, focuses on the beauty of life and death through the eyes of a young man concerning the passing of his childhood love. While his poems contain similar subject matter, Edgar Allan Poe uses diction and tone…

    Tanner does this by addressing “the use of ambiguity and the manipulation of gender stereotypes” (138). Tanner first explores how ambiguity “is used consistently to portray Ebain as a bad lord” (142). Ebain is also emasculated as “it is he and not a damsel who needs rescuing from the dragon” (Tanner 142). Tanner comments on the many other poor qualities Ebain possess including his unchecked anger that frequently clouds his judgment and causes him to make rash decisions (144). Tanner then compares Ebain to Silence as it is “Ebain’s anger and subsequent unjust behavior that will be exposed by Silence’s patience” (144). Tanner finds that the poet “reverses the traditional gendering of emotion and reason” by portraying a man with the impulsive qualities of a woman (144). Tanner next explores the character of the French King who is the pinnacle of positive masculine traits because of this his “vassals flourish and peace reigns in his kingdom because he honors them by seeking and following their advice, behaving with justice and self-restraint, and rewarding their good service” (147). Tanner notes that the French King and “Silence’s actions exemplify the ideals of noble behavior” (147). By the end of the romance Silence has given…

    Beowulf is an epic poem with pagan origins, yet it is rife with Christian elements. The second quotation from the first part assigns fate as the ruler of all men, a distinctly non-Christian view. Additionally, the gaining of earthly treasures as rewards for virtuous conduct, here the spoils from a defeated enemy, is not heroic in any Christian sense.…

    To indicate the relevant book and section numbers of the Confessions, I have used the system of upper and lower case Roman numerals found in the edition ordered for our class (Oxford University Press, translated and edited by Henry Chadwick). Thus “Conf. III.i-vii” means the material on pp. 35-45 of the edition we’re reading. “V” means all of Book Five. Do not be confused by the book’s parallel system of Arabic numerals, written in parentheses, which the Oxford edition also uses—just disregard them. For this Friday, March 30, I want you to have read Books I, II, and III.i-vii. Come to class prepared to discuss the first three questions on this study sheet, with nos. 1 and 3 being more important than 2.…
