The oath of fealty usually took place after the act of homage, when, by the symbolic act of kneeling before the lord and placing his hands between the hands of the lord, the vassal became the "man" of the lord. Usually, the lord also promised to provide for the vassal in some form, either through the granting of a fief or by some other manner of support. Typically, the oath took place upon a religious object such as a Bible or saint's relic, often contained within an altar, thus binding the oath-taker before God. (search more info in the wikipedia: oath of fealty, homage ceremony)

Podéis tomar como ejemplos, al igual que hizo Cristina de Pisán, a mujeres famosas de la antigüedad: Safo, Hipatia, la reina Cleopatra, la Virgen María, la reina de las Amazonas, para refutar cada una de las afirmaciones. Por ejemplo: “Es mentira que las mujeres no puedan reinar, puesto que ha habido en épocas antiguas grandes reinas como Cleopatra o Livia, mujer de Augusto, que sí fueron grandes gobernantes. Más bien, las damas no han gobernado no por su incompetencia, sino porque se les ha dado la posibilidad de gobernar.” Pedid el libro en la biblioteca del colegio para más información, de la que es considerada una de las primeras luchadoras por la dignidad de la mujer en la historia.

while feudal lords are fighting each other, clergy and monks havE created a new law, the god's truce or "paz de dios"god's wills are the only way for priests to keep the peace and PUT the swords of knights AWAY. AND MEANWHILE, THE CLUNY MONKS, THE "BLACK MONKS", WILL BECOME A REAL POWER IN THE SHADOW ACROSS ALL EUROPE. SWIFTLY THE LORDS WILL RAISE AGAIN THEIR SWORDS, BUT NOW THEY WILL HAVE A NEW ENEMY. THEY WILL FIGHT IN THE SOUTH OF EUROPE, AGAINST THE MUSLIMS, IN AL-ANDALUS, ENCOURAGING THE RECONQUEST IN CASTILLE, IN THE SOUTH OF ITALY, AND FAR AWAY, IN CONSTANTINOPLE AND THE HOLY CITY OF JERUSALEM. IT IS THE AGE OF THE CRUSADES.

¡SANGRE Y FUEGO!

intentaré ser breve con el pergamino que dispongo, pero tú CONOCES BIEN los tiempos en los que vives. la ley del más fuerte se impone bajo la sombra de pactos feudales. los nobles abusan de los campesinos y los normandos, antiguos vikingos, son los más ávidos de poder y riqueza de todos ellos, fundando reinos e imponiendo su ley sobre EL MUNDO ENTERO... Y sin embargo, algo está cambiando en occidente...

BLOOD AND FIRE!

I WILL TRY TO BE SHORT IN MY WORDS, BUT YOU KNOW VERY WELL THE TIMES WE ARE LIVING... THE LAW OF THE STRONGEST PREVAILS UNDER THE FEUDAL HOMAGE. NOBILITY OPRESS THE PEASANTS, ANDTHE NORMANS, ANCIENT VIKINGS, ARE THE WORST OF ALL, LOOKING FOR WEALTH AND POWER EVERYWHERE THEY GO, FOUNDING NEW KINGDOMS FROM ENGLAND TO SICILY. HOWEVER, SOMETHING IS CHANGING IN WEST EUROPE..

AND MEANWHILE, EUROPE IS CHANGING. VILLAGES ARE GROWING, MORE FIELDS ARE CULTIVATED, AND WITH THEM, TRADE, MONEY AND THE OLD ROMAN CITIES ARE RESTORED. AND WITH THEM, THE ART, THE CULTURE, AND RELIGIOUS PIETY. PILGRIMAGEs TO HOLY PLACES BECOME MORE AND MORE COMMON. ROMA, JERUSALÉN AND SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA ARE THE FINAL DESTINATION OF THOUSANDS OF PILGRIMS COMING FROM EVERY CORNER OF THE CHRISTIAN WORLD.

ONE TOWN, LOCATED AT THE VERY END OF WEST EUROPE, BECOMES THE FINAL REWARD FOR THESE FAITHFUL PILGRIMS: SANTIAGO DE COMPOSTELA. AROUND THE APOSTLE SANTIAGO TOMB, A HUGE CATHEDRAL IS BUILT AT THE END OF THE 11th century, and thousands of travellers and pilgrims pray everyday for their soul's salVATION and the forgiveness of their sins...

WHEN THE UPRISING IS SUFFOCATED, THE BISHOP, THE QUEEN AND THE CITIZENS DECIDED TO SIGN A TREATY OF PEACE AND RESTORE THE BURNT CATHEDRAL. AND THIS IS WHERE YOUR MISSION STARTS, PROTECTING THE NEW PEACE AND SUPPORTING YOUR LIEGE'S INTEREST...

PILGRIMAGE BRINGS WEALTH AND POWER TO THE TOWN, AND GREED AND LUST ARISE IN THE HEARTHS OF MEN. BISHOP GELMIREZ WILL TAKE FOR HIMSELF a GOOD AMOUNT OF THIS WEALTH, CREATING PRIVILEGES, DONATIONS AND NEW TAXES FOR HIMSELF. THE BOURGEOISE, EXHAUSTED BY HIS IRON FIST, RAISED AGAISNT HIM AND BEGAN A REVOLT, SIEGING AND BURNING THE CATHEDRAL. THEY APPEALED TO QUEEN URRACA. BUT THE QUEEN DECIDED TO DEFEND THE BISHOP'S SIDE. FIGHTs are everywhere, AMONG ALL SIDES.

DONE!
