Arshiya Kulkarni answered |
The diminishing popularity of the monotheism could be seen in many of the writings. For example in England, Langland’s poem, 'Piers Plowman' contrasted the ease and luxury of the lives of some monks with the ‘pure faith’ of ‘simple ploughmen and shepherds and poor common labourers.’ Chaucer wrote the 'Canterbury Tales', which had comic portraits of a nun, a monk and a friar.

Prisha Tiwari answered |
The change in the land use, during the 11th century, brought many benefits and more yields. It enabled peasants to use a field two years out of three if they planted one crop in autumn, and a different crop in spring a year and a half later, which meant that farmers could break their holdings into three fields. They could plant one with wheat or rye in autumn for human consumption. The second one could be used in spring to raise peas, beans and lentils, for human use, and oats and barley for the horses. The third field lay fallow. Each year they rotated the use among the three fields.

Kiran Mehta answered |
The group of noblemen and noblewomen in the picture are shown carrying falcons, which are birds of prey often used in falconry, a sport that involves training and hunting with these birds. The noblemen and noblewomen are likely participating in a falconry-related event or activity, as indicated by their elaborate dress and the presence of the falcons. The other options, golf sticks, arrows, and "none of these," do not accurately describe the objects shown in the picture.

The French monarch held the title “Most Christian King”. This didn’t prevent Francis from making war on the papacy, though he never did so as violently as Charles, the Holy Roman Emperor, whose troops sacked Rome in 1527, forcing the pope to take refuge in the Castel Sant'angelo.

Gaul and the Franks
The extract provides information about Gaul, a province of the Roman Empire, and the Franks, a Germanic tribe associated with Gaul. The Franks played a significant role in the history of Gaul, eventually giving it the name "France."
Description of Gaul
According to the extract, Gaul was a province with diverse geographical features, including extensive coastlines, mountain ranges, long rivers, forests, and large tracts of plains suitable for agriculture. This indicates that Gaul had a varied landscape that could support different economic activities.
Identification of the Franks
The extract states that the Franks were a Germanic tribe. This means that they belonged to the larger Germanic ethnic group that inhabited various regions of Europe during ancient times. The Franks, being a Germanic tribe, were distinct from other tribes such as the Portuguese or Spanish.
Role of the Franks in Gaul
The extract highlights that the Franks gave their name to Gaul, making it "France." This suggests that the Franks had a significant influence in Gaul and played a crucial role in shaping its identity. It implies that the Franks were one of the dominant tribes in Gaul, eventually establishing their own kingdom in the region.
Religious Connections
The extract mentions that the French kings, who ruled Gaul, had strong links with the Church. This indicates that the French monarchy had a close relationship with the Christian Church, which likely influenced their governance and policies. Additionally, the Pope bestowed the title of "Holy Roman Emperor" upon King Charlemagne in 800, further strengthening the connection between the French monarchy and the Church.
Conquest of England–Scotland
The extract notes that in the eleventh century, a duke from the French province of Normandy conquered the island of England–Scotland. This implies that the French, specifically individuals from Normandy, successfully invaded and took control of the region, establishing their authority over England and Scotland.
In conclusion, the Franks were a Germanic tribe that played a crucial role in Gaul, eventually giving the province its name "France." The Franks had a strong connection with the Church, which further solidified their authority. Additionally, individuals from the French province of Normandy conquered England–Scotland in the eleventh century, expanding French influence beyond Gaul.

The primary work of any Benedictine monk is the worship of God in the Divine Office and the Mass and St Benedict says that nothing should be preferred to this. Together with this goes the love and service of Christ in the community and its guests.

Parthi Sharma answered |
Option A is the correct answer because during 12th century when there are three orders in the European society , which are :
The Clergy
The Nobles
and The Peasants or slaves.
among them Nobles are the man who have centered role in all social processes. This is because they controlled land.
This picture show the royal status of Nobles because the Noble enjoyed a privileged status. He had absoulte control over his property in perpetuity. He could raise troops called 'Feudal Levies '. The lord held his own courts of justice and could even coin his own money.
