Medieval Europe and Africa
Medieval Europe and African societies developed many forms of authority. Compare places carefully rather than calling an entire continent one kingdom.
Medieval European lordship and Church institutions
Objective: Explain medieval european lordship and church institutions, distinguish their meanings, and apply them to a described case.
Medieval European lordship: Local authority and land obligations varied widely across medieval Europe. Church institutions: Christian institutions influenced education, politics, and community life in varied ways. Interpret these ideas within the institutions, places, and period being studied. Distinguish the definition from evidence that a particular event occurred. A teaching scenario illustrates an idea; it is not an authenticated historical document or proof of a real event. Application: A local agreement defines specific duties. This most directly illustrates medieval european lordship. A monastery preserves manuscripts. This most directly illustrates church institutions.
