BAB II

ZAMAN ANGLO-PERANCIS

1. Pemerintahan Edward The Confessor dan Penaklukan oleh Normandia
Edward The Confessor adalah seorang yang menetap di Perancis dan berdarah Normandia, maka ketika dia menjadi raja Inggris, dia mangangkat orang-orang Normandia dalam kedudukan tinggi. Dampak dari hal itu adalah setelah dia meninggal, Inggris berhasil ditaklukan oleh Normandia. Dia mewariskan kerajaan yang terpecah menjadi 7 daerah feudal yang dikuasai oleh seorang “earl”. Inggris dibawah kekuasaan Edward tidak mengalami perkembangan apapun kecuali dalam bidang agama.
Setelah Edward meninggal, dipilihlah Harold, putra Godwin, Earl of Wessex, namun ditentang oleh Harld Hardrada, raja Norwegia, dan William, Duke of Normandy yang berhak atas tahta Inggris. September 1066 pasukan raja Norwegia mendarat di Inggris Utara, namun beberapa minggu kemudian dia terbunu oleh pasukan William dari Normandia di Hasting (Inggris Selatan).

2. Akibat Penaklukan oleh Normandia
Normandia (daerah Perancis) sesungguhnya dikuasai oleh keturunan-keturunan Skandinavia tang menyerang Perancis pada awal abad 10. Raja Perancis tidak mengusir mereka sehingga membuat perjanjian dan akhirnya menamai negeri itu Normandia. Orang-orang Normandia tidak mempertahankan kebudayaan asli mereka namun mengadopsi kebudayaan Perancis. Mereka meniru feudal Perancis (feodalisme teritorial). Di Norwegia dikenal system kasta yaitu Duke (kedudukan paling atas), knight, lord, subject. Dalam bidang politik, Duke telah dapat memaksakan kekuasaannya pada para Baron yang di beri kekuasaan atas daerah-daerah dan pada para knights.
Di Normandia Duke dapat berkuasa bahkan pembangunan istana harus seijin Duke, oleh karena itu semua keuangan Normandia sangat kuat. Para Duke juga berhubungan dengan gereja di Normandia. Keadaan ini terjelma setelah Normandia membangun kembali sarana keagamaan yang hancur akibat serangan

    The book 1066 The Year of the Conquest by David Howarth is an overview of one of the most important years in England’s history. At the start of 1066 the death of King Edward would spark a series of events that would eventually lead to the changes in England. Throughout the book it discusses this dramatic year and all these events that took place from various different perspectives. These stories are from contemporary sources from all sides of the conflict explaining their perspective of what was happening during this time.

    Tanner does this by addressing “the use of ambiguity and the manipulation of gender stereotypes” (138). Tanner first explores how ambiguity “is used consistently to portray Ebain as a bad lord” (142). Ebain is also emasculated as “it is he and not a damsel who needs rescuing from the dragon” (Tanner 142). Tanner comments on the many other poor qualities Ebain possess including his unchecked anger that frequently clouds his judgment and causes him to make rash decisions (144). Tanner then compares Ebain to Silence as it is “Ebain’s anger and subsequent unjust behavior that will be exposed by Silence’s patience” (144). Tanner finds that the poet “reverses the traditional gendering of emotion and reason” by portraying a man with the impulsive qualities of a woman (144). Tanner next explores the character of the French King who is the pinnacle of positive masculine traits because of this his “vassals flourish and peace reigns in his kingdom because he honors them by seeking and following their advice, behaving with justice and self-restraint, and rewarding their good service” (147). Tanner notes that the French King and “Silence’s actions exemplify the ideals of noble behavior” (147). By the end of the romance Silence has given…

    To indicate the relevant book and section numbers of the Confessions, I have used the system of upper and lower case Roman numerals found in the edition ordered for our class (Oxford University Press, translated and edited by Henry Chadwick). Thus “Conf. III.i-vii” means the material on pp. 35-45 of the edition we’re reading. “V” means all of Book Five. Do not be confused by the book’s parallel system of Arabic numerals, written in parentheses, which the Oxford edition also uses—just disregard them. For this Friday, March 30, I want you to have read Books I, II, and III.i-vii. Come to class prepared to discuss the first three questions on this study sheet, with nos. 1 and 3 being more important than 2.…
