Homework MA #4 due Monday
Group Activity #1 • Working with your partner, create a brief dialogue around one of the two following topics: • Lord & Vassel: The Lord has reasons to question his vassal’s loyalty to him because he suspects the vassal may have also pledged his loyalty to another lord. • Lord & Serf: A serf, who is unhappy with his or her circumstances, confronts his/her lord. Make sure to discuss the duties that both individuals in your dialogue owe to one another in Feudalism and Manorialism!
Group Activity #2 If you had been a peasant in Western Europe during the Middle Ages, would you have willingly agreed to become a serf? Why or why not? Consider the advantages and disadvantages of serfdom in your response. Write one paragraph for this question.
