Inheritance, wives and concubines. (Happy National Day)
If you have a few points to say, please read them if you can.
.
1. Illegitimate children and wives and concubines:
"He who has a lawful wife and concubine: no priest gives him the Eucharist, nor does he perform any rites for a Christian man, unless he turns to repentance.
If he has a concubine, but no legal wife.
He should do what he thinks; However, he should know that he should have one, whether it is a concubine, or a wife. The Old English Confessional (probably the 10th century) indicates that concubinage was strictly forbidden by the Christian Church after the 10th century. ”
This is what a book friend in chapter 144 left for me in this chapter.
MEDIEVAL GAME, CITY OF KING (KNOWN AS CK FOR SHORT).
In CK, the game mechanic reflects that a noble patriarch can legitimize his "illegitimate child" as a "legitimate illegitimate child".
A legally illegitimate child can also enjoy "inheritance rights".
Thinking of the problem of a book friend, I went to look it up.
But most sources like to use "Henry VIII" as an example of Western monogamy.
Second Tudor king (r. 1509-1547, mid-Ming dynasty during the reign of Emperor Wuzong)
At that time, the power of the church was so high that divorce was not allowed, and it was not possible to remarry unless one of the parties died.
He wants to divorce the Holy See and simply declare that he will switch from "Catholicism" to "Protestantism"
But even then the king was still monogamous.
So the West strictly adheres to monogamy.
But this still did not solve my doubts, because the churches in "different periods" and "different regions" have very different clerical powers.
What is the change in the concubine system?
And the views of the church and the royal power on the concubine system at that time???
For example, many people will always say that the church is not allowed to get married and have children.
However, during this period, there was still an X house in England, and the bustard had to pay taxes to the church and the lord. At the same time, she was discriminated against and restricted, and she was forbidden to go into church to worship.
Since Christianity considered homosexuality to be anti-natural and anti-God, homosexuality was mostly regarded as the most serious crime in the Middle Ages and was severely suppressed.
But under the suppression of sexual abstinence, there is a rebellion under the real situation, and the situation of indulgence is very common. During the time of Henry VIII of England, monasteries appeared, "X prostitutes, boys, men",
Some monks openly married wives, took concubines, and had children. It's the same with convents, where abortions often happen, and babies are buried in the walls, so some people say it's like "the upper body is the Virgin, and the lower body is an X woman".
In the information here, I saw that I took wives and concubines again.
TV series Lonely Country Spring and Autumn (tells the story of Alferred and Vikings, in which there is a priest who openly finds a Viking girl to live together, everyone knows)
For example, many people will always use "Gregory" to break the door and exterminate the king of the Franks, telling us that the clergy is so awesome that the emperor has to kneel, without thinking about the situation at the time and the aftermath.
After enduring a moment of anger, the Dharma King defeated the rebel army in the territory, and then returned to the army to Luo (Luo), seized the throne, and supported others to become the throne.
During the Viking period, Iceland and Ireland still had a common belief in Christ and the Norse gods.
All kinds of unimaginable things that were later uplifted by the clergy are estimated to have existed in this era.
This was the middle and early Dark Ages, when the Germanic peoples brought their traditions to the islands from Europe.
Bring their faith, language, laws (customary law) and so on.
After checking and checking, I found an online document on the information of the first night right
2. The first night
Augst Bebel, Women and Socialism (1879)
It is proposed here that after the birth of the feudal regime, the situation of the majority of freedmen deteriorated.
The Franks swept away the ancient clans, with the leaders of the armies followed the new nobles, replacing the council chairmen of the Germanic clans (presumably in the tradition of the Germanic people's assemblies?)
The great deal of war and land annexation led many to place their property under the protection of their lords or religious figures, until they eventually lost their freedom altogether
Slavery began to spread.
The landlord had almost unlimited dominance over the domestic slaves,
"He has the power to compel any man over the age of 18 and any woman over the age of 14 to marry. He can identify wives for men and husbands for women. The same rights apply to widowers and widows.
As the master of his subjects, he regarded himself as the one who had the sexual right to use the maid, that is, the one who held the right of the first night, which fully indicated the unlimited rights of the landlord. His agent also has the right of the first night,
The premise is that the agent does not want to be paid tribute, but the essence of the tribute is clear from its name, such as bed fee, virgin tax, shirt gold, apron tax, stamp money, etc. ”
And as I continue to look at it, it is classified as a custom left over from the matriarchal era.
At first it was the bride who was open to the men of the commune on her wedding night. However, this right was limited in its implementation, and in the end, it was only applied to tribal chiefs and priests. The feudal lord accepted this right again, and he also had great power over the individuals of his own territory. He exercises this right for as long as he wants, "or gives it up in order to get the product and money".
The point is mentioned here, that in order to get something, the right to the first night can be waived.
In Jakov Green's Jurisprudence, vol. 1, p. 43, it is read: "The court said that in order to get married, one had to entertain the man who had managed the property and his wife.
The man in charge of the property would give the bridegroom a cauldron of boiled sheep and a cart of wood for the marriage. He and his wife had to bring 1/4 of the roast pig with them to the feast. At the end of the ceremony, the bridegroom must allow the steward to share the bed with the bride, or else he will pay 5 shillings and 4 pence. ”
Can we conclude here that this is a way to promote the authority of the landlord and at the same time increase taxes in disguise?
And this right to the first night was later included in the tax (if you pay a little more, you won't have to do it).
At the end of the 11th century, Malcolm III announced in Scotland that the right of first night would be abolished and replaced by a tax.
In Germany, however, this has been going on for a long time.
In 1496, the Abbey of Swabia-Ardberg recorded that slaves residing in Bertlin had to do the following in order to claim the revocation of this right: the bridegroom was to give him a piece of salt; The bride is to hand over £7 copper shillings or a large plate "large enough for her to sit on".
Elsewhere, in order to redeem the right to the first night, the bride must pay cheese or butter "as heavy and as large as her hips." In some places, the bride must hand over an easy chair, "a handful that is just right to sit in,
Again
According to Bavarian Chancellor Welsch, in Bavaria there was an obligation to redeem the right of the first night until the 18th century.
Engels further argues that in the Welsh and Scots, the right of the first night was maintained throughout the Middle Ages, except that there was a clan organization here, so that the executor of the right of the first night was not the landlord or his agent, but the representative of all married men, the patriarch, until the abolition of this right.
There is no doubt that the right of the first night not only existed in the Middle Ages, but also has been passed down to modern times, and it played a role in the feudal legal code. In Poland, the aristocracy had the right to bully any virgin he liked, and whenever anyone complained about it, the nobleman had him beaten by 100 boards.
To this day, the sacrifice of virgin virginity is taken for granted by the landlord or his retinue, far more often than we think, not only in Germany but also throughout Eastern and South-Eastern Europe, as some experts familiar with the customs have argued.
In the other chapters I have previously looked up with sailors, and found literature exploration by other authors, this system is only popular in some areas and times, and it is not obvious.
The First Cause of All Worlds
This kind of thing needs to be compared repeatedly to make a more reasonable explanation, and if I continue to sort it out in the future, I will rearrange it.
3. Monk marriage
Then let's talk about the monk's wives and concubines.
The landlords were brutal, all kinds of diseases, transportation was inconvenient, thieves were rampant, unemployment was extremely high, and men who could not become soldiers became villains.
The city of Rome was a place of faith, and when Rome fell, it left a legacy of bad habits to Europe, as long as it was in Italy, and a large number of foreign monks who came to make pilgrimages to study spread the bad habits of the clergy to Germany.
The clergy, who were almost entirely made up of men and who had fallen with it, began to ...... in order to satisfy their desires
A large number of monasteries of monks and nuns became the monastery of X.
Due to the lack of access to legal jurisdiction, various evil deeds were committed in the monastery, such as the killing of "eagles"
The peasants of the time also had to protect their wives and daughters from the temptation or coercion of the clergy.
One way to do this is to not accept priests who do not take concubines.
The historical fact that a council of elders was held in Constantine in 1414, attended by more than 1,500 homeless women, is sufficient to illustrate the above list.
However, these situations did not begin in the decline of the Middle Ages, but occurred very early, and they gave rise to lawsuits and became the basis for the enactment of laws. Thus, in 802 A.D., Charlemagne issued an edict in which it was written: "The monasteries must be strictly managed, nuns must not wander around, they must be kept closely guarded, and they must not quarrel with each other and cause discord." They are never allowed to disobey or oppose the elders or the head of the hospital.
They must fully abide by the rules of the monastery. Prostitution, drinking and greed are not allowed, but a decent and restrained life is to be lived in any way.
At the same time, not a single man is allowed to enter the monastery, except at the time of Mass, when the man leaves the monastery immediately after the Mass.
A decree issued in 869 A.D. (in this book 865) reads: "If a priest has a few women around him, or if he causes the blood of the faithful or the infidels to break the canon, he should be disqualified, because they are worse than the common people!" ”
The fact that priests were forbidden to polygamy at that time shows that polygamy was already in vogue in the 9th century. In fact, no law has been able to prohibit the spread of polygamy.
Later, in the 12th and 13th centuries, during the age of love singers, polygamy was not to be criticized. For example, Albert Hitter von Johansdorf wrote a poem in his book "Love Spring":
If you have a wife, you will marry a second,
It's something no one is allowed to do, is it?
Tell me,
Isn't that right?
(Men can, women can't)
The Crusaders had a particularly bad influence on the morals of the time, and tens of thousands of men were away from home for many years and learned the customs of the Eastern Roman Empire, which was little known in Western Europe at the time.
……
Charlemagne also dragged a naked X-woman to the market and had her whipped.
He himself was the "most Christian" king and emperor, and at once he married at least six wives
His daughters, on the other hand, openly imitated their father, and they were by no means serious people. Because of their manners, the king was sometimes dissatisfied with them, and these daughters secretly gave birth to many illegitimate children. Alquin, Charlemagne's friend and counsellor, reminded his students to "guard against the crowned pigeons of the court at night," referring to the king's daughters.
The brothels established by the public authorities were under official protection, and the priestesses of Venus were allowed to enjoy privileges, and it was these official institutions that imposed the harshest and most cruel punishments on the poor, abandoned and unfortunate women.
The most severe death penalty is imposed on infanticides who kill their foetuses out of discouragement, while those who have no conscience are held accountable. Perhaps he will also be present at the tribunal where the death sentence for innocent victims is pronounced. Things like that are not extinct today.
Women are also subject to severe sanctions, at least in public display, but men commit adultery under the cloak of Christian benevolence......
There is a lot more information, so I won't list it.
Summary:
1. There is a lot of history of peoples and cultures in Europe, not only in Rome or later in the Franks, but also in God.
And there are multiple mixed variants of the same period.
If we divide Europe into five parts, we will see different styles of the same period in the east, west, north, south, and middle.
2. In some areas, the power of the first night may exist in a state of increasing the authority of the lord, mainly to collect more money and improve authority, rather than to really sleep.
3. In the early days, the church could marry and have children, but later it was forbidden (but that was hundreds of years later)
4. The clerical authority has been suppressed in various ways at different times, and has gradually increased, and the old Anglo territory has been in a tug of war with European culture.
5. The lord of the early and middle Dark Ages, the state of concubinage is obvious, and if the father gives him status, the child is estimated to have partial inheritance rights,
But I found some TV series to watch, and I didn't express this much.
I wanted to see if there was a "legally illegitimate child" who inherited the title of lord while the "legitimate child" was still there, but I couldn't find it.
So in this book, I take the "illegitimate child" to be legitimized by the father and improve the background, but then there are two options, inherit part of the title and go out, or change the surname and go out, and use part of the emblem to continue to break.
Book lovers can refer to Charlemagne's great example.
At the same time, it was found that the lords of different parts of the British Isles, such as Scotland and Wales, still resisted monogamy on the surface, and operated polygamy or concubinage until the 13th and 15th centuries, when this was also common in Eastern Europe.
.
I know very little and study a lot.
Since it is posted in the historical area, it will be sent out, hoping that when book friends read it, they will also know something new.
I also took some notes on medieval literature, bathhouse hygiene culture, accommodation, travel, etc., and found that there were great differences with some popular sayings, and I would have the opportunity to discuss them in detail in the future.
I didn't update it yesterday, but I still re-read what was written earlier, and found that the front was too loose, switching perspectives, and often bringing readers a sense of discomfort, and slowly improving.
In addition, there is too much information to check, and I can often see both positive and negative opinions, if I have something wrong, I will correct it again in the future.
Wait to prepare the codeword, because it took too long to read the information, and it took several hours.
Happy National Day, thank you for the few friends who voted for me in the middle of the night last night.
