What language did a serf speak from the middle ages?
The language a person spoke depended more on where they lived than on what class they were in. It is true that there was a class based distinction of language in England for a couple hundred years after the Norman conquest, with the nobility speaking French and the serfs speaking Old or Middle English. But in general, the serfs spoke languages that were ancestral to modern languages in much the same way that Old English was ancestral to English. The main difference was that there were more languages in those days. For example, among medieval Germanic languages, several have disappeared, including all East Germanic Language such as Burgundian, Gothic, and Vandalic.
What part of the roman empire did the envaders spread?
Which Invaders? In the empire of the west tin the fourth century Germanic peoples invaded: Franks, Alemanni, Visigoths and Burgundian took Gaul. The Visigoths, Alans and Sueves took over Spain and Portugal. The vandals took over Africa. Angles, Saxons and Jutes and Frisians migrated to Britain in waves. The Lombards invaded Italy in the next century. The empire of the east suffered a similar fate, though much later. The Arabs took over the middle east south of Turkey The Bulgars, Serbs and Croats took over the Balkans. Then the Seljuk Turks took over much of Turkey. Finally the Ottoman Turks conquered Constantinople.
How did Clovis and Charlemagne contribute to spread of Christianity?
Clovis' principle contribution was marrying Clotilde who was Catholic and as a result forcing all his subjects to become Roman Catholic--they were Arians before that. In fact the vast majority of Christians were Arians until this time, but this conversion threw the majority over to Rome. Wikipedia says: "Clovis was converted to Catholicism;[6] at the instigation of his wife, Clotilde, a Burgundian Gothic princess who was a Catholic in spite of the Arianism which surrounded her at court. The followers of Catholicism believe that God, Jesus and the Holy Spirit are three persons in one God, as opposed to the Arian Christianity, whose followers believed that God and Jesus were two completely separate beings and the Holy Spirit was not entirely separate from God but was the Power of God, a belief system common among the Goths who ruled most of Gaul at the time." Charlemagne's primary contribution to Christianity was to force the Saxons at sword-point to become Christians.
What does the name 'Clyde' mean?
The origin of the name seems to be the Scottish river Clyde, but its meaning is far from certain.------ Added by another -------Perhaps not! >>>>>>>> Clyde is scots-gaelige for: Heard from afar. The river Clyde means a loud river heard from a distance. The Firth (of Clyde) means a fjord-like deep inlet (not a shallow delta) to the river near the sea. Clywwd, is also welsh-brythonic for: Loud or loudly. Clwwd is cornish pehaps for: warm. These gaeilige, welsh, and cornish words were "anglicanized" by germanic (Angle Saxon Dane) invaders into Britain.Gaelic languages are from an Indo-European stock becoming distinct in Galatia (in modern Turkey) before; Persian adminstation, Greek trade and Roman colonialism, among other influences moved the languages and peoples ever westward into Gaul (modern France). These languages included what would later evolve into brythonic (Brittany-Gaul-France-Britain) Cornish-(Cornwall and southern Britain) Welsh (Wales) Gaelige (Eire-ireland Gaelic-Scots-Pict).Gaulic- Gaelige- Gaelic are somewhat interchangeable terms.Modern English is an interesting evolutionary blend of ancient (Germanic-Gaelige-French Romance) languages that is barely similar to the middle english, our language just 500-600 years ago. Modern English is a highly dialected language but most speakers can easily communicate with other speakers.Modern French is less Gaulic (gaelic-gaeilige-brythonic) and more (due to Roman-Latin influences) Romance-Frankish-Germanic. But is still widely dialected (eg. burgundian -provencal- catalan).
Who was the first medieval king of England?
There was no first king of medieval times, as there were kings already around when the Middle Age began. Several of the Germanic tribes had kings, as, for example, the Franks, who had a kingdom within the Roman Empire from 357 or 358 AD. When the Middle Ages began, there were already a number of fairly well developed kingdoms in Europe. The Franks had already been there about 50 to 100 years, depending on the date you prefer for the beginning of the age. The Burgundian Kingdom had begun. The Ostrogoths and the Visigoths both had extensive kingdoms, occupying Italy and Spain respectively. The Vandals had been operating a kingdom that covered most of the North African Coast. All of these kingdoms had their own kings when the middle ages began, and all were of fairly large size and importance, even by modern standards. If by first you mean most important, Charlemagne may qualify. He reigned from 768 to 814 as King of the Franks, and controlled a very large empire, about the same size as the old West Roman Empire, when he was crowned Emperor of the West by the Pope. His territory included almost all of modern France, Germany, Belgium, the Netherlands, and Switzerland, and much of modern Austria and Italy. In fact it could easily have been the largest empire Europe would see until the Russian Empire surpassed it.
