Whom did unhappy nobles turn to as a leader?
Why were the nobles especially unhappy with John in 1215
What did a Medieval squire get for pay?
No pay. He was a noble boy who was in training to become a knight. People did not earn a "salary" in this time. Peasants worked for the house and land they lived on, nobles earned the manor for being loyal to the king for whom they protected politically.
How did feudalism work in Europe?
The feudal system was meant to help organize things for people (to help people). How it worked: What happened was that the king was at the top, and then the nobles were given land that was split up so they couldn't start a rebellion and the nobles gave their land to lots of knights which gave thier land to lots of peasants which farmed the land and paid taxes. The knights fought, and the king gave the noble more land so that he was richer. More land=richer you are! This kind of system was based on kept promises. If some promises were not kept, the entire system fails. For example, if a king gives 12 lords land to have in return for service, the lord promises to give the king knights to protect him. But if only 6 lords keep the promise, then the king isn't as well-protected and therefore has a chance to die.
What was the role of a noble during the dark ages?
The noble was a man who kept the estates and manors for a king. He got these in return for his loyalty to the king. Since Europe was a patchwork of holdings this was very important for the king and the noble. The noble pledged his men to fight for the king when needed. Many nobles were also knights and in war they fought as a knight. To be a knight was very expensive. A suit of armor, in today's standards, would cost the same as a 5 bedroom house today. They also had a horse that was trained for battle and not just for riding around on. The noble's role was to serve the king, provide protection to the king, pay taxes from his estates, and to provide food to the king.
Troubadour in the Middle Ages was a?
A troubadour in the Middle Ages was a singer who traveled around. They would sing love songs. Often, they were invited to be entertainment in the King's court, and parties. For nobles, etc., they would come and sing about forbidden love to the lady of whom the noble could not marry. In this way, she would become aware of his feelings for her, without causing a scandal.
