H.W. # 5 Feudalism in Western Europe: Feudal Contract

A Contract Between a Villein and His Lord, 1307
During the Middle Ages, economic life centered on the manor. Lords received manors from kings and other lords in return for military service. A manor
consisted of the lord's house; cottages for his tenants; a church, mill, and workshops; and woodlands, fields, and pastures. Most of the tenants were serfs bound
to the manor for life. Other tenants, called villeins, were legally free but subject to the authority of the lord.
Each villein had a contract with his lord
spelling out his rights and duties. Eventually lords wrote these contracts down in account books so that everyone would know what the duties were. An example
of such an account book follows:
John of Cayworth [villein] holds from his lord one house and thirty acres of land. For his right to this land, he must pay the lord two shillings a year at Easter
and Michaelmas. At Christmas he must give the lord one cock and two hens worth four shillings.
He must harrow [cultivate] the lord's land for two days
during Lent at sowing time with his own horse and harrow. He receives from the lord each day that he harrows three meals.
He must carry the manure of
the lord's animals for two days using his own two oxen. He receives from the lord three meals each day that he carries the manure.
He must carry wood
from the lord's forest to the manor house for two days in summer. He receives from the lord three meals each day that he carries wood.
John of Cayworth
may not allow his daughters to marry without the consent of the lord or the lord's bailiff. Neither may he permit his sons to enter the clergy without the lord's
consent. He may not cut the timber growing on his land without the consent of his lord or the bailiff, and then only for the purpose of building.
After his
death, his survivors will pay to the lord the best animal that he had, unless he has no living beast, and then the lord will receive no payment.
And if his sons
or daughters wish to continue holding his house and thirty acres after his death, they must make a payment to the lord equal to the entire rent for one year, and
continue paying the rent as set down in this contract.

H.W. # 20 Reformation
Abuses in the Catholic Church over a long period of time were the basic, or underlying cause of the Protestant Reformation. The Renaissance increased
these abuses. At the same time, it made people more aware of them. The immediate cause of the Protestant Reformation – the spark that set off the
explosion-was the sale of indulgences. The word indulgence means “pardon.” An indulgence was a document issued by the Church to help a person win
pardon for his sins.
What does the following indulgence promise? (Adapted from Will Durant, The Reformation. Copyright 1967, by Will Durant)
May our Lord Jesus Christ have mercy on you. May He forgive you your sins by the merits of His most holy Passion [suffering on the Cross].
And I, by His authority, an that of His blessed apostles Peter and Paul, and of the most holy Pope, do forgive you all your sins. And as far as
the powers of the Holy Church extend, I release you from all punishment that you deserve in purgatory [a place where the soul suffers from its
sins before going to heaven]. I restore you to the innocence and purity that you had a baptism. When you die, the gates of punishment shall be
shut. The gates of paradise shall be opened. If you do not die at present, this grace shall remain in full force when you are at the point of
death. In the name of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Ghost.
A monk name Johann Tetzel was the main seller of indulgences in Germany. Below are some of the claims he made about the power of indulgences.
(Adapted from D.C. Munro, Translations and Reprints from the Original Sources of European History (Vol 2.), 1902)
How many mortal sins are committed in a day, how many in a week, how many in a month! How many in a year, how many in the whole course
of life! They are almost numberless. Those that commit them must suffer endless punishment in the burning pains of purgatory.
But with these letters you will be able at any time in life to obtain full indulgence for all penalties imposed on you. Throughout your whole life,
whenever you wish to make confession [tell sins to a priest to gain pardon by God for them] you may receive the same pardon. And afterwards,
at the hour of death you may receive a full indulgence as to all penalties and sins.
As soon as coins in the money chest ring,
The souls out of purgatory spring.
Questions:
1.
Why did many Catholics disagree with the sale of indulgences ?
2.
What effect do you think indulgences might have had on the behavior of the people who bought them?
3.
According to these selections, who actually pardoned a person’s sins – God, the Pope or the seller of indulgences? Refer to the selection to

4.
If you had lived in the sixteenth century, would you have bought an indulgence? Why or why not?
5.
Compare the methods used to sell indulgences with modern advertising. Why do both of these tend to make extreme claims?
