Feudalism

Serfdom is frequently regarded as a major institutional constraint on the economic progression of Tsarist Russia, which persisted after emancipation in 1861. Many Scholars have argued that even after the emancipation serfdom persisted due to its profitability and the genuine fear among Russians of ‘change’. This is shown by ‘The peasant protest’ when the 1861 serf emancipation act was formed. However, it is be acquainted to the high birth rate resulting from ‘near-universal and early marriage.’

Feudal Pyramids There are two major feudal pyramids in history. The Japanese Feudal Pyramid, and the Middle Age Feudal Pyramid.

The Peasants' Revolt, which is sometimes called Wat Tyler's Rebellion, was a large uprising across parts of England in 1381. The revolt had multiple causes, such as the social and economic tensions generated by the Black Death in the 1340s, the high taxes caused by conflict with France during the Hundred Years' War, or instability within the local management of London. The final straw for the revolt was the intervention of a royal official, John Bampton, in Essex on May 30, 1381. His efforts to collect

The Peasants Revolt by Theo Tarry There are many reasons why the peasants revolted in 1381. Money, The Black Death, living conditions, land, and laws were all contributing factors. I will discuss these in this essay in view of trying to understanding the main reasons. Firstly I am going to discuss is The Black Death. After the Black Death, many manors were left short of workers. To encourage those who had survived to stay on their manor, many lords had given the peasants on their estates their freedom

This photo demonstrates the social class division in France prior to the revolution called the Ancien Regime. The Ancien Regime consisted of three estates; The clergy (1st estate), The Nobles (2nd estate), and the Peasants (3rd estate). This photo consists of the first and second estates standing promptly atop the struggling third estate.

Great leaders do great things while they live but when they die their legacies live on. That legacy motivates, inspires and guides people to become great leaders themselves. Their actions, decisions, methods, motivations are examined in depth. Their lives dissected in order to understand what made these people great, why they were able to achieve their incredible accomplishments. The purpose for all of that research and dissection is so that we too can become great and leave a tangible legacy

Born into Hope How would it feel to be nothing? How would it be to be born without hope? This is something that is often true about the Medieval Period, this is a time without social privileges unless you were born into wealth. Even if many were not born into wealth there are select few that have the advantage to be a nobleman, kings, queens, and church people. The people right under the king are the nobles.

Have you ever felt that you were not treated well even after all the hard work that you’ve done? Peasants and serfs in medieval times definitely did. Working every day except Sunday, paying high taxes and farming all of their own food for little to no pay was grueling work, and the peasants were certainly not excited about it. The peasant class were workers in medieval times who worked on fields, created all of their own possessions, and fed themselves. Serfs, who are apart of the peasant class,
