Plantagenets

Hello everyone.
Royal houses and monarchs do not bear surnames but they do bear the title of the senior male who started the royal house/line/dynasty.
If you take a look at the genealogical tables at the end of your book (Morgan), you will see the genealogical tables labelled per house/dynasty on the top right hand corner of the page.
We had very little to do in class with the House of Wessex, but there it is.
The nature of the Anglo-Saxon monarchy was elective, with certain qualifications. That is, the monarch was chosen/elected by the Witan but only from among the ablest adult males of the royal house/of royal blood. That is why we say that the Confessor's crown was not for him to promise to William.
Other monarchs came to the throne by right of conquest (e.g. Cnut, William of Normandy), i.e they won their crown on the battle field.
Gillingham says that the principle of primogeniture established itself but slowly in England. Primogeniture is now the essence of monarchical succession and means that the crown goes directly from father to eldest son. When the direct line is exhausted for lack of a direct male heir or because there is an heiress who marries a nobleman who fathers her children and thus gives the family a new name, we have a change of dynasty. When there are no direct male heirs but variosu collateral descendants (such as Arthur and John) we have disputes. In short, every time there is a direct minor heir or no direct male heir there's going to be trouble, that's what our course is about. This is so because the king is the center of gvmt.
William and his immediate direct descendants (Rufus, Henry I and with certain qualifications Stephen) are called the Norman Kings.
Henry II was Matilda's (the Conqueror's grandaughter) son by the Count of Anjou (that's why Henry II & his sons are called Angevins). See the official website of British Monarchy. Download
Henry II started a new dynasty, whose immediate descendants (Richard I & John) were called the the Angevins. When John's son Hnery III came to the throne we have the Plantagenets. I'm saying this in strict accordance to the official website of the British monarchy. Download
Now the name Plantagenet comes from the Count of Anjou's-- i..e Henry II¨s father--habit of wearing a broomstick (shrub) as his badge, a plant whose name in Latin is plantagenesta o planta genista. There you are. The last Plantagenet king died in 1399.
For your assignment just begin with Henry II and stop at Edward I.

ICI Writing & Update

Hi, everyone:
We will most probably have the test online. The procedure will be very much like the IHI test we'll be administering in 30'.
Pls remember that your deadline for sending in writing for corrections is tomorrow Wednesday afternoon. Keeping the blog updated, correcting electronic versions of files and texts, plus editing lectures is really very demanding. We're not complaining but we need plenty of time.
Here is another piece of writing for sharing about "The Prophet's HAir" and the political sphere.

Prophet's Hair

What was the legacy that the Romans left the Britons?

Roman civilization in Britannia was wrecked by the Anglo-Saxon invaders who were rural people (this means they did not live in urban centers); illiterate in their native Germanic tongues—their culture was orally transmitted—and also totally ignorant of the Latin language. Also, in the eyes of the Christian Britons, they were heathens since they worshipped their own Germanic gods.
All this means that most features of Roman civilization as had been developed in Britannia did not actually survive the Anglos-Saxon invasions. In the first place, since the Anglo-Saxon unit of social organization was the rural village (or township) Roman towns fell into decay and eventually ruin—which means that there are few public buildings left. The rural villages were communities of peasants who had very little in common with the owners of the former rural villas. Second, those Britons who survived the initial struggles of the invasions later also fell prey to famine or disease, were sold into slavery, fled to Wales or Caledonia or mingled with the Anglo-Saxons. This means that the Latin language and Christian religion did not survive in former Britannia. Nor could dioceses have survived since they are areas under the authority of a bishop and we have just said that Christianity did not survive the Anglo-Saxon invasions.
What was the actual Roman legacy? (See PP presentation) It consists of Roman roads and Celtic Christianity. This is so because those Britons who fled across the mountains to Wales, Scotland and across the sea to Ireland preserved their Christian religion. However, since they held the Anglo-Saxons in contempt, they made very few efforts to convert them to Christianity until the late 6th century.
How were the Anglo-Saxons converted to Christianity? By a Roman—i.e. from the Pope’s see in Rome—stream/mission that arrived in the south of England in the late 6th century and also almost simultaneously by a Celtic/Irish stream that preached in the north. The Anglo-Saxons received their church organization into archbishoprics, dioceses and parishes from the Roman stream. The Latin language—which was the means of scholarly communication and learning from the times of the Roman empire until the 16th century—was also reintroduced by the Roman mission at this time (See also PP presentation).
Finally, as to the features of the English language, it derives its syntax and part of its vocabulary from the Germanic languages of the Anglo-Saxons and another large part of its vocabulary from the Latin of the Church and the French introduced by the Normans. If you reread Gillingham you will understand now why a cultivated Englishman after the conquest was trilingual.

Tal como lo hablamos hoy en clase, existen muchas posibilidades de que, a partir del lunes, haya una toma en la Facultad de Humanidades. Si bien la cátedra respeta la libertad de expresión, ha adoptado la firme posición de tratar de no perder clases puesto que el trimestre ya es muy breve de por sí.
Es por eso que les solicitamos que permanezcan informados y en contacto, ya que, de realizarse la toma, tomaremos el parcial escrito online el día viernes, tal como estaba previsto. A tal fin:
Antes de las 12 horas del viernes recibirán el parcial individualmente por correo electrónico (Viviana Q, no tengo tu mail en la lista). También será "colgado" casi simultáneamente en el blog.
Para las 14:45 a más tardar, cada estudiante deberá enviar su parcial en un documento Winword (sólo en extensión .doc ) guardado en formato no superior a Windows 2007 (no guardar tampoco como .doc de Windows Vista) a mcsarasa@hotmail.com
De experimentar alguna dificultad durante el examen y al momento de enviarlo por mail, les pedimos se comuniquen en el espacio de los comentarios del blog.
Para aquellos estudiantes que tengan dificultad en conectarse a Internet, se sugirió hoy en clase que busquen la ayuda de amig@s, concurran a un cíber o se hagan inmediatamente socios de la Biblioteca Central de la UNMDP que tiene PCs disponibles.
Agradeceríamos si difundieran este mensaje en sus Facebooks ya que hay estudiantes que probablemente no chequean su mail a menudo ni tampoco visitan nuestro blog.
En cuanto a las clases de Marcela Calvete anteriores al parcial, ella las hará saber por estos medios los pasos que seguirá.
Tal como creemos en la capacidad de todos estudiantes de aprender, sostenemos nuestra misión de enseñar y de enseñar a aprender en la universidad pública.
Por último, les solicitamos que escriban sus comentarios y dudas en el blog, para así poder socializarlos.
Buen fin de semana para tod@s

As to those people who still haven't made up their minds to start writing, we'd like to tell them that simply reading what others have written is similar to watching an aerobics/spinning class in the hope of slimming/shaping up. No pain, no gain.

"Good Advice is Rarer than Rubies"

Job 28
[12] But where shall wisdom be found? And where is the place of understanding?
[13] Man knoweth not the price thereof; neither is it found in the land of the living.
[14] The depth saith, It is not in me: and the sea saith, It is not with me.
[15] It cannot be gotten for gold, neither shall silver be weighed for the price thereof.
[16] It cannot be valued with the gold of Ophir, with the precious onyx, or the sapphire.
[17] The gold and the crystal cannot equal it: and the exchange of it shall not be for jewels of fine gold.
[18] No mention shall be made of coral, or of pearls: for the price of wisdom is above rubies.
[19] The topaz of Ethiopia shall not equal it, neither shall it be valued with pure gold.
[20] Whence then cometh wisdom? and where is the place of understanding?
[21] Seeing it is hid from the eyes of all living, and kept close from the fowls of the air.
[22] Destruction and death say, We have heard the fame thereof with our ears.
[23] God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.
[24] For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;
[25] To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.
[26] When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
[27] Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
[28] And unto man he said, Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom; and to depart from evil is understanding.

IHI Mails Update + Questions

Hi everyone: here's an updated list of your emails + discussion sessions (comisiones)
Download

Thanks for the question about invasions & conquest.
Historians always refer to Caesar's Invasions in 55 & 54 BC and to the Roman/Claudian Conquest in AD43. The concepts are not interchangeable in these two cases.
If we consult Meriam Webster online, we will see that invasion means "an act of invading [to enter for conquest or plunder]; especially: incursion [a hostile entrance into a territory : raid] of an army for conquest or plunder: e.g. The enemy launched an invasion."
Synonyms: descent, foray, incursion, inroad, raid, irruption.

Caesar launched two invasions against Britannia but was unable to achieve permanent domination or subjugation of the land/its inhabitants since he left no military forces behind to carry out this process.

Conquest means (same source): 1. the act or process of conquering [to gain or acquire by force of arms: subjugate :to overcome by force of arms : vanquish ]; 2 something conquered; especially: territory appropriated in war.
