  3. My opinion of the video:
    i think these video is very complete and clarifies very good what does feudal system is and works. I liked it a lot and it was verry funny.
    The information that i understood from the video is: that feudal system is part from every day life on the midevil times. it was first used in france and then brouth to englang after the conquest of the country by william I.
    knigths:owned loyalty to the feudal lords and to the king, the also protect the feudal lord and it's fmily. It also is encharged to defend the castel and the manor from attaks. cause they made those things they recived all the land they wanted to kip and the rest they divided for the serfs. but there were other jobs like iron mining, farming, dungeon.
    villens were known as serf and they were poor. the were not able to leave the manor and they have to ask first the lord to get marry.

    What i liked the best of the video was first that it was in legos, then that it was verry well exposed and very well chosen the information.
    What it empress me the most was that the vallines can't get marry with out asking the feudal lord or can go out of the maner.

  7. My opinion about the video:
    i think this video was very easy to understand but it wasn't very complete in the parts that they dont speak and the lego toys were acting.
    I understood that the feudal system was originated on England in the 900 A.D and i found very interesting that the serfs could not get married without permission of the lord.
    but i didnt understand the farming process. thank you! by Elisa Kerguelen

    INQUISITION

    The Inquisition was a Catholic institution for discovery and punishment of heresy(a belief that rejects the tenets of a religion), which was marked by the severity of questioning and punishment afforded to the accused.

    (sorry I posted it on the video!!!)

    It was actually instituted by Pope Innocent in Rome he established the Inquisition, to combat the heresy of the Abilgenses, a religious sect in France and then all around Europe.

    Initially a tribunal would open and an edict would be published calling upon those who are conscious of heresy to confess. Those accused of heresy were sentenced to some punishments like physical abuse and torture. Those who reconciled with the church were still punished. Those who never confessed were burned at the stake without strangulation; those who did confess were strangled first.

    In the beginning, the Inquisition dealt only with Christian heretics and did not interfere with the affairs of Jews.

    The next phase of the Inquisition began around 1531, when Pope Leo X extended the Inquisition to Portugal. Thousands of Jews came to Portugal after the 1492 expulsion. The Inquisition never stopped in Spain and continued until the late 18th century.
