La conquista normanda de Inglaterra

En la mayor parte de Europa el año 1066 pasó completamente desapercibido, pero no en Gran Bretaña. Para los británicos 1066 es un año fundamental en su historia, comparable en buena medida al año 711 para españoles y portugueses o el año 800 para franceses y alemanes. En el primero los musulmanes invadieron la península ibérica dando lugar unos años más tarde a la Reconquista. En el segundo, el día de Navidad de ese año, Carlomagno, rey de los francos, fue coronado por el Papa León III. De aquel imperio surgiría con el correr del tiempo lo que hoy conocemos como Francia y Alemania. Pues bien, en 1066 un duque de Normandía de nombre Guillermo reclamó el trono de Inglaterra, que en aquel entonces estaba en manos de un rey sajón llamado Haroldo II. Cruzó el canal de la Mancha y derrotó a las tropas de Haroldo en la batalla de Hastings. No era la primera invasión de Gran Bretaña, pero sería la última, al menos la última con éxito porque tanto franceses como alemanes y españoles se lo propusieron tiempo después, pero, o fracasaron en el intento, o no pudieron consolidar la invasión. Con Guillermo ya en el trono, Inglaterra pasó por entero a manos de sus barones, que crearon una nueva aristocracia, se repartieron la tierra y dejaron ese reparto por escrito en el denominado Domesday Book o Libro del Día del Juicio Final. Lo llamaron así porque lo que allí se reflejaba sería inalterable como las páginas del mismísimo Libro del día Juicio Final tras la segunda venida de Jesucristo y la resurrección de la carne. Pero la influencia de estos reyes normandos sería mucho más duradera que un simple libro en el que se registraba con sumo cuidado a los propietarios de la tierra. También sería mucho más profunda. Guillermo consiguió afianzar su conquista y poner el reino de los sajones a su antojo. Había logrado algo que en el continente se le resistía: ser rey, un título muy escaso y difícil de conseguir porque el Papa se reservaba su adjudicación y lo concedía con cuentagotas. En Francia no era más que un duque enfeudado al rey y con eso habría de conformarse. Esa es la razón por la que se aferró a su reino insular y se lo transmitió a su hijo Guillermo II, que tuvo un reinado algo más corto y murió en un accidente de caza, aunque seguramente se trató de un asesinato. La muerte de Guillermo II antes de tiempo amenazó la pervivencia de la Inglaterra normanda, pero su heredero, su hermano Enrique I, se encargó de hacerla definitiva e irrevocable. Con Enrique I el dominio normando se terminó de consolidar extendiendo sus dominios a ambas orillas del canal de la Mancha. Tras 35 años de reinado, un periodo muy prolongado para tratarse de un monarca del siglo XII, su hijo Guillermo estaba llamado a continuar su obra, pero murió en un naufragio. Esto dejó como única heredera a su hija Matilda, a quien había casado con Godofredo Plantagenet, conde de Anjou. Su sobrino Esteban no reconoció la herencia y se desató una feroz guerra civil que ha pasado a la historia como los años de la Anarquía. Matilda y Godofredo consiguieron imponerse transmitiendo a su hijo Enrique un reino refortalecido que engrandeció tras su matrimonio con Leonor de Aquitania. En menos de un siglo los normandos habían construido un pequeño imperio, el imperio angevino, que iba desde las tierras altas de Escocia hasta los Pirineos. Este reino jugaría un importantísimo papel en la edad media de toda la Europa occidental.

Alfoxton House in Somerset, England has a long and rich history stretching back over 1000 years. It was mentioned in the Domesday Book of 1086, and is where the young William Wordsworth, his sister Dorothy and their great friend Samuel Taylor Coleridge helped birth the radical new Romantic movement during a magical year there in 1797. In June 2020, a new Triratna Buddhist community received the keys to this astonishing property set within 52 acres of ancient woodland complete with herds of red deer grazing the hillside. This week on the Buddhist Centre podcast we hear from that community - and particularly from film director and Alfoxton community member Hartley Woolf on his affecting and poetic documentary capturing a year in the life of the inspired band of souls who have taken on the ambitious task of renovating a once great estate.  Following the seasons, Hartley's film reveals the changes in the land and the travails of this huge building project, weaving connections between the poetry of the Romantics, physical work and spiritual practice. We hear how in the midst of knocking down walls and rebuilding foundational structures, Hartley treaded the sometimes difficult path between being both a member of his community and a filmmaker. And catch a glimpse of the shared wonder that emerges as relationships are forged in a project based on the deepest values of awareness, love and a common quest for the truth of reality. Triratna has long posited a deep connection between Buddhist spiritual life and the Arts, ever since Sangharakshita first began to articulate a fresh vision of contemporary western practice in the 1960s. In the spirit of that tradition, the Alfoxton community has been working to restore the house, tend to the land and provide opportunities to go deeper into both Buddhist practice and the practice of music, poetry and philosophy. Their inspiring program of retreats and events sees them welcome hundreds of volunteers and visitors each year, bringing the electric thrill of the great English Romantics back to life for new generations of seekers. Join us in the great oak-panelled room at Alfoxton, where Coleridge first recited 'The Rime of the Ancient Mariner', for this wonderful conversation!

Glyn, Elaine and Paul are back with another episode of the Hidden Wiltshire podcast, and once again have returned to record outside at a mystery location. You'll have to listen to find out where we were. There are lots of links to things we discussed in this episode in these show notes. Before we moved onto the main topic we had the usual run down on what we've been up to since the last podcast. And there was an awful lot to talk about so some of it was consigned to the cutting room floor! Glyn led a Wiltshire Museum walk with David Dawson which was timed to enable a visit to Oare House whose gardens were open to the public for the day. They took in some of the scenes for paintings by Eric Ravilious who was invited to stay there in 1932. The walk took in Gopher Wood, one of the most stunning sites for bluebells in the county. Glyn also ventured north, not to Yorkshire but to Royal Wootton Bassett to deliver his Wiltshire Blind House talk at the library. Meanwhile Elaine has been as busy as ever and has posted a few new blogs on the website including one based on the border of Hampshire where she followed the Shire Rack footpath and discovered connections with Jack the Ripper! You can read her blog here: The Borderlands, Shire Rack and Jack the Ripper Elaine also touched the border of Dorset with a soggy but inspiring visit to Mere, a town worthy of an entire blog in itself. You can read about her visit on the Hidden Wiltshire Facebook page. Glyn also finally wrote up his visit to another Wiltshire town, the beautiful and historic Malmesbury with tales of flying monks and tigers. You will find his blog on the website here Malmesbury - St Aldhelm, King Athelstan and Eilmer the Flying Monk Paul has only recently returned from his Spring residency in France (complete with wife who broke her ankle there) so had little to share that was Wiltshire related. However, it was interesting to discover that on Wiltshire Day, 5 June, the Thames Path National Trail tweeted a recommendation of Paul's walk around Inglesham Church and the Thames Path which you will find in his blog on the website here Medieval Inglesham - Three Counties Walk Long term followers of Hidden Wiltshire may be familiar with the story of Alan Dodson who contacted us after our podcast about Imber, podcast number 2! Alan lived in Warminster for a few years as a child when his father was transferred here in the last war. Alan was trying to locate a cottage he used to visit somewhere on the Imber Range, long since demolished. Some people may be aware of the archaeological dig which is taking place at Imber at the moment led by Operation Nightingale, the veterans' charity. Paul contacted them about Alan's story and within a day or so two people both identified a possible location for the cottage. Paul has written to Alan to see if he thinks this is the place. Finally in our round up we wanted to mention the work of some friends – Hedley Thorne (Hedley Thorne), and Paul and Rebecca Whitewick (Paul and Rebecca Whitewick). They are prolific bloggers, You Tubers and podcasters (Wessex Ways) writing and filming about ancient trails, railways and canals amongst other things, much of it in Wiltshire. We share a common passion about rights of ways and in particular blocked or lost footpaths and bridleways. In the podcast we had an extended chat about this, particularly as both Elaine and Glyn have had walks thwarted by blocked rights of ways recently. We mentioned the tool that has been developed by The Ramblers called Don't Lose Your Way which seeks to save lost paths before the Government closes the book forever in 2031 on any chance of having them reinstated. You can read about the tool here Don't Lose Your Way. We then began our discussion of some of our favourite woods in Wiltshire. Elaine chose the much loved Bentley Wood just to the south of Salisbury close to the border with Hampshire, a historic Royal hunting ground mentioned in the Domesday Book but which dates back even further. We mused over the origins of the name which Elaine subsequently established derives from the following – “the name Bentley comes from the Old English words beonet and leah, meaning "the clearing where bent grass grows". It was written in the past in various ways, such as Bentelwoda, and first recorded in the 13th century.” Elaine and Paul collaborated on a blog about Bentley which you will find here Bentley Wood. Elaine shared her love of Chase Woods, also down in the borderlands, this time with Dorset. Chase Wood is part of the Rushmore Estate. It's a fantastic place for wildlife and in particular for birds. Elaine and Paul are recent converts to the Merlin phone app from Cornell Lab which is very effective at identifying birdsong. Merlin Next up was Paul and two of his favourite woods, or are they forests? Firstly we talked about Grovely Wood. Paul wrote a blog about it here Grovely Wood and the Woodsman.  Hardly hidden and well known to many but its huge scale and open access to much of it mean there are many hidden corners and opportunities to be completely alone. Its history dates back to the Romans and beyond, being the route for the Lead Road which enabled the Romans to transport lead from Mendip to the rest of southern England. It is also a place of great folklore and stories of murder and hauntings. The famous Witch Trees are to be found here and it is key to Great Wishford's fabled Oak Apple Day which takes place each year on 29 May. We mentioned two books during our discussion - Wildwood - Roger Deakin and The House in the Woods - Mark Dawson. Grovely features in both.  Paul's other favourite wood is Great Ridge, which is even bigger than Grovely! Sadly access is restricted to designated rights of way but that if anything adds to its mystery. Little has been written about it but you can read about Paul's 2020 walk through the wood here Great Ridge. It seems Wikipedia also struggled to find out anything about the wood as Paul's blog is both referenced and a chunk quoted on its page about Great Ridge! However, the Lead Road also passes through here and later history features in W H Hudson's marvellous book A Shepherd's Life. A Shepherd's Life - W H Hudson. Hudson was a great lover of Great Ridge and frequent visitor. There are again stories of mystery and folklore surrounding the wood. And the newly established Stone Daisy Brewery located on the Fonthill Estate, owners of Great Ridge, have picked up on the significance of the wood naming one of its excellent beers Snail-creep Hanging after this bizarrely named location in the wood. Finally Glyn talked about his favourites. Biss Wood is where Hidden Wiltshire began. Tipped off by someone about the simply stunning Autumn colours Glyn went for a walk in the wood in 2016. On a whim he put up his drone and was staggered by the rainbow of colours seen from above. His aerial photograph is now widely known and used, and features in both of the Hidden Wiltshire books. You can read about that first visit here Biss Wood. Once just a meadow it was re-planted with trees in the 1940s/50s and is now managed by the Wiltshire Wildlife Trust. Not far from Biss Wood is Clanger Wood and Picket Wood, south east of Trowbridge. Glyn's blog about it can be found here - Clanger Wood. Managed by the Woodland Trust these woods were once part of the ancient and vast Selwood Forest recorded in the Domesday Book. Little remains of Selwood but Clanger Wood is still large enough to find seclusion without becoming lost. It is listed as one of top 10 places in England for its display of bluebells, which may explain Glyn's love of the place. Finally Glyn wanted to add Southleigh Wood in view of its historical connections and its mystery. When King Alfred marched his troops to engage Guthrum and the Danes at the Battle of Ethandun (Eddington) in 878AD, the Saxon Chronicles say that Alfred assembled his men at Iley Oak the night before the battle. The location of Iley Oak is not known for sure but is thought to be in Southleigh Wood. The wood is now host to the mysterious and frankly creepy Robin Hood's Bower, about which Glyn wrote in 2019. The bower consists of monkey puzzle trees planted by Lord Bath in 1965-67. Here will be found many votives and tokens together with wicker circles. It is clearly a place of relevance to some! Then on to the wrap up for this episode: There are still copies of the second Hidden Wiltshire book available on the website. The first book has sold out. The aforementioned Hedley Thorne and another friend of the podcast, artist Anna Dillon, have an exhibition of aerial photographs and paintings entitled “Wessex Airscapes: Elevating Wiltshire” which opens at Wiltshire Museum in Devizes on 8 July 2023. As part of this Glyn will be leading some walks visiting some of the locations portrayed by Hedley and Anna Wessex Airscapes: Elevating Wiltshire Thanks as always go to Steve Dixon for the music. As usual the piece at the beginning and the end of the podcast is called “The Holloway”, whilst the piece in the middle is a new one from Steve entitled “Forgive”.   Other Links: Glyn's photographs can be seen on this website and on his Instagram feed @coy_cloud He is also very active on Twitter where his username is @Glyndle Paul's photography can be found on his website at Paul Timlett Photography and on Instagram at @tragicyclist Steve Dixon's sound art can be found on Soundcloud where his username is River and Rail Steve Dixon River and Rail.

During the medieval ‘agricultural revolution', new forms of cereal farming fuelled the exceptionally rapid growth of towns, markets and populations across much of Europe. The use of the mouldboard plough and systematic crop rotation were key developments and led to open-field farming, one of the transformative changes of the Middle Ages.Using new evidence from plant and animal remains from archaeological excavations in England, this lecture links these to wider developments in medieval society, notably growing social and wealth inequalities.A lecture by Helena Hamerow recorded on 23 March 2023 at Barnard's Inn Hall, London.The transcript and downloadable versions of the lecture are available from the Gresham College website: https://www.gresham.ac.uk/watch-now/agricultural-revGresham College has offered free public lectures for over 400 years, thanks to the generosity of our supporters.

Hi, 安澜 Hi Lulu, hi everyone. So can I propose a topic? It depends on the topic. I kind of got into historical drama or period drama like British TV show. 就是英国这种历史、什么宫廷剧. Ok. I thought it's interesting, lots of plotting, lots of gossip. Yes. But, as you know, my history sucks. It is pretty bad, your history. So all of these dynasties, all of these royal families, royal houses, these really confused me, I thought, can we talk about royal houses, dynasties in England? Yeah, of course. So similar to china, we calculate history by dynasties or royal houses. 所以你们也有这种概念, 什么我们的唐宋元明清, 然后你们也是按照chronological编年的顺序, can't wait for you to walk me through some of the famous and most important... do you call it dynasties or royal houses? I would say we call them royal houses. So there are six of the most famous and important houses. House number one, the Normans, 1066-1144. 诺曼王朝, the Norman, I thought they came from France. Is that right? They came from Normandy. They were originally vikings that's settled in Normandy. And the first king was William the Conqueror. He came from Normandy, he defeated the Anglo-Saxon King Harold at the Battle of Hasting in 1066. William I or William the Conqueror was not a particularly nice person and he just wanted to get as much money as possible. What he did was he ordered the Domesday Book to be created. Now the Domesday Book was an inventory of everything and everyone in England. It was essentially the first census. 相当于第一次人口普查, 所有人都登个记,所有东西都登个记. It sounds rather boring. But in many cities, many villages it's the first mention in the historical record. And this is where many places in the UK their history starts from the Domesday Book. How long did he rule?He ruled, you said to 1144? Not him personally. He had a couple of children, but it ended during what is known as the anarchy when there was fighting between Matilda who was one of the daughters of the King and her cousin Stephen. Can I just ask, ... dynasties how it works?Is it just one royal house can hold the power can control the country, then they will just rule. Yes. They are usually replaced because they were defeated and chased away or killed.Well, yes. In the early history. But in many cases, particularly more modern history is because there's no heir, so it goes to another Royal House. 所以更近的历史干脆没有人,后继无人了, 只能是到另外一个 Royal House. I see. So that leads us now to our next Royal House, the Plantagenets. The Plantagenet. 这个词非常罕见, 就专门我只在英国历史里面见过叫做金雀花王朝. Plantagenet, is that the name of a flower? It's a French name of a flower. It's old French. I see. Now the reason why they have a French name is because this Royal House actually ruled huge parts of France, and they were essentially French in the outlook. The most famous King of this period was Richard, the Lion Heart. 狮心王。 Who went on the Crusades and fought for Jerusalem. 就圣战, the religious Crusade. He was a particularly bad king. He didn't actually like England. And according to the stories, he didn't actually really speak any English. I think it was not the only time in European history where a Royal House that doesn't really speak the local language ruled the local people. It does happen quite a lot, but his brother, King John. Now that is an interesting character. He was famously bad, wicked, unpopular. And he was so unpopular, he actually led to the Magna Carta being signed. 大宪章 。Why? Because his Nobles were so angry with him that they wanted him to sign the Magna Carta to guarantee their rights. But King John didn't really think much of this and he probably ignored it and they carried on fighting. I see. Now the Plantagenets

On 14th Oct, northwest of the town of Hastings, the Anglo-Saxon army of the English King Harold met and fought the invading Norman army of the Duke of Normandy, later to be known as William the Conqueror.  This was the moment, the turning point in English history, still considered today as the last successful invasion of the British Isles by a foreign army.  The Battle roiled from dawn to dusk – a long, bloody and exhausting encounter – at the end William was victorious and Harold was dead.  Tom interviews the historian and novelist, Allan Mallinson,  who has written extensively on military matters.  His latest book, ‘The Shape of Battle' was published in 2021 and is a study of why battles are fought, and to do this he examines 6 military encounters, all of which took place in the preceding one thousand years. The first of these is the Battle of Hastings.The Battle of Hastings ended the Anglo-Saxon rule in England.  Under the Norman rule of William the Conqueror the feudal organisation of the country began.and so it goes,Tom Assheton & James Jackson Reference:The Shape of Battle by Allan MallinsonFace of Battle  by John Keegan See also:YouTube: BloodyViolentHistoryhttps://www.instagram.com/bloodyviolenthistory/https://www.jamesjacksonbooks.comhttps://www.tomtom.co.uk If you enjoy the podcast, would you please leave a short review on Apple Podcasts/iTunes, Spotify or Google Podcast App?

Back after a summer break, Camila and Ana delve into a project they discovered at the Centre for Computing History in Cambridge when Camila was visiting Ana in London. Called the BBC Domesday Project, this was a mid-80s attempt at an interactive survey of the entire country with data collected largely by school children. With the data contained on two Laserdisks and only accessible via specialised hardware, the system quickly suffered from a serious case of Digital Obsolescence. While a 2000s project called Domesday Revisited worked to save the data and create an emulation of the software, the book it was based on (the 1086 Domesday Book) has continued to be accessible as a printed book for 900 years.Follow us on Twitter @OurFriendCompAnd Instagram @ourfriendthecomputerMain research for the episode was done by Camila.

Property law (2022): Estates in land: Allodial title

Law School

Play Episode Listen Later Feb 3, 2022 15:24


Allodial title constitutes ownership of real property (land, buildings, and fixtures) that is independent of any superior landlord. Allodial title is related to the concept of land held "in allodium", or land ownership by occupancy and defense of the land. Most property ownership in common law jurisdictions is fee simple. In the United States, the land is subject to eminent domain by federal, state and local government, and subject to the imposition of taxes by state and/or local governments, and there is thus no true allodial land. Some states within the U.S. (notably, Nevada and Texas) have provisions for considering land allodial under state law, and the term may be used in other circumstances. Land is "held of the Crown" in England and Wales and other jurisdictions in the Commonwealth realms. Some land in the Orkney and Shetland Islands, known as udal land, is held in a manner akin to allodial land in that these titles are not subject to the ultimate ownership of the Crown. In France, while allodial title existed before the French Revolution, it was rare and limited to ecclesiastical properties and property that had fallen out of feudal ownership. After the French Revolution allodial title became the norm in France and other civil law countries that were under Napoleonic legal influences. In October 1854, the seigneurial system of Lower Canada, which had been ceded from France to Britain in 1763 at the conclusion of the Seven Years' War, was extinguished by the Seigneurial Tenures Abolition Act of October 1854, and a form similar to socage replaced it. Property owned under allodial title is referred to as allodial land, allodium, or an allod. In the Domesday Book it is called alod. Historically, allodial title was sometimes used to distinguish ownership of land without feudal duties from ownership by feudal tenure which restricted alienation and burdened land with the tenurial rights of a landholder's overlord or sovereign. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

Episode Description:  This time on Duchess, our host the Duchess of Rutland meets with Julie Montagu online to talk about her historic home - Mapperton House & Gardens. In the episode, Julie details how the Montagu's invented the sandwich, the Duchess is taken through Mapperton's beautiful interiors, and the ladies discuss the exciting re-wilding projects that are being initiated on the estate.        Top Quotes: "David Attenborough said we must re-wild the world and, at Mapperton House with our re-wilding projects, we very much took that to heart. We decided to give this back to nature. In one sense, we're trying in our own way to revive it." - Julie Montagu "We are not just custodians of the house; we're custodians of the land that surrounds it." - Duchess "My mother and father in law have embraced me for my American ways. I haven't had to change my accent, or who I am. I have never had to give up the American in me. I have been able to really bring that into the house." - Julie "My advice to Americans entering heritage is to stay true to yourself. Embrace the history. Embrace the differences but ultimately remember that it's your happiness that's the most important." - Julie Montagu About the Guest and Stately Home: Julie Fisher was brought up in Sugar Grove, Illinois. Upon moving in the mid 2000s, Julie would meet her future husband, Luke Montagu, Viscount of Hinchingbrooke, in 2003. The couple would marry and move into Mapperton House. Julie presented the tv series “an American Aristocrats Guide to Great Estates” where she visited many historic homes across the UK and discovered what makes them such important sites in the history of Great Britain. Julie is also a yoga teacher and enthusiast and regularly Instagram's herself practising in her home and estate.  Mapperton house has been the home of the Earl and Countess of Sandwich since the 1950s, when they moved from their ancestral home, Hinchingbrooke House. Previously, Mapperton belonged to four families – the Bretts, Morgans, Brodrepps and Comptons – until it was bought in 1919 by Mrs Ethel Labouchere. Since her death in 1955 it has been the home of the Montagus. Mapperton was entered in the Domesday Book 1086 as Malperetone. It was then the property of William de Moion, Sheriff of Somerset. Robert Morgan and his wife Mary, would build the 16th century house in the 1540s. One of the notable characteristics of Mapperton is the extraordinarily detailed interiors. Upstairs in the Great Chamber is a remarkable 16th-century pendant ceiling, one of the best surviving examples anywhere in a domestic setting. The Entrance Hall includes a striking coat of arms, and in the adjacent Dining Room, to fine 18th-century panelling. The Sandwich art collection includes fine paintings by Lely, Reynolds and Hogarth.  About the Host: Emma Rutland, The Duchess of Rutland, did not always stride the halls of stately homes. Born Emma Watkins, the Duchess grew up the daughter of a Quaker farmer, in the Welsh marsh countryside. She trained as an opera singer in the Guildhall School of Music, and worked as a successful interior designer before meeting her future husband David Manners, the 11th Duke of Rutland, at a dinner party. Their marriage in 1992 would transform Emma Watkins into the 11th Duchess of Rutland, thrusting her into the world of aristocracy, and handing her the responsibility of one of the nation's great treasures: Belvoir Castle. While simultaneously running the day to day operations of the castle, and raising five children, The Duchess became fascinated with the history and importance of the other stately homes of the UK. Join The Duchess as she embarks on a wonderful journey through time, to learn more about the incredible homes that have defined Great Britain and, most importantly, meet the other extraordinary women who work tirelessly behind their doors to preserve their history and magic for future...

Episode Ninety, and it’s a face off!! First, we kick off with a rather boring English suburb CHEADLE HUME and then we move on over to the DOMESDAY BOOK - a document used to tally what was owed to the King. And which king started this practice? EDWARD THE CONFESSOR whose Feast Day is celebrated by the CHURCH OF ENGLAND. And looks like the Church of England is not so pure and innocent, as they have a history of SEX ABUSE committed by many clergy. One clergyman being PETER BALL who was committed to a mere 32 months in jail for MALFEASANCE IN OFFICE. From bad deeds in office we head over to more fun crimes like DUELING!

Property law: Estates in land - Allodial title

Law School

Allodial title constitutes ownership of real property (land, buildings, and fixtures) that is independent of any superior landlord. Allodial title is related to the concept of land held "in allodium", or land ownership by occupancy and defense of the land. Historically, much of land was uninhabited and could, therefore, be held "in allodium". Most property ownership in common law jurisdictions is fee simple. In the United States, the land is subject to eminent domain by federal, state and local government, and subject to the imposition of taxes by state and/or local governments, and there is thus no true allodial land. Some states within the U.S. (notably, Nevada and Texas) have provisions for considering land allodial under state law, and the term may be used in other circumstances. Land is "held of the Crown" in England and Wales and other jurisdictions in the Commonwealth realms. Some land in the Orkney and Shetland Islands, known as udal land, is held in a manner akin to allodial land in that these titles are not subject to the ultimate ownership of the Crown. In France, while allodial title existed before the French Revolution, it was rare and limited to ecclesiastical properties and property that had fallen out of feudal ownership. After the French Revolution allodial title became the norm in France and other civil law countries that were under Napoleonic legal influences. In October 1854, the seigneurial system of Lower Canada, which had been ceded from France to Britain in 1763 at the conclusion of the Seven Years' War, was extinguished by the Seigneurial Tenures Abolition Act of October 1854, and a form similar to socage replaced it. Property owned under allodial title is referred to as allodial land, allodium, or an allod. In the Domesday Book it is called alod. Historically, allodial title was sometimes used to distinguish ownership of land without feudal duties from ownership by feudal tenure which restricted alienation and burdened land with the tenurial rights of a landholder's overlord or sovereign. --- Send in a voice message: https://anchor.fm/law-school/message Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/law-school/support

William then became known as 'William the Conqueror', as he established his control across England. He used a variety of different methods, such as Castles, the Feudal System, the Domesday Book, the system of Sheriffs and the 'Harrying of the North'.

� Links   Pastured Pork Pros and Cons http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-f4y   The Top 5 Things I Have Learned Since I’ve Started Homesteading http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-f6X   ****   This is the World Organic News for the week ending 15th of May 2017. Jon Moore reporting!   We begin this week with a post from the blog The Intrepid Homestead entitled: Pastured Pork Pros and Cons.   A whole new skill set is required for pastured anything. Pigs being pigs and innately intelligent bring their own issues.   The right breed is essential. Thankfully there were far sighted people who didn’t follow the Danish landrace highway to factory farmed pork. No these people kept alive the old breeds, not all of them but enough for pastured pork to be a thing. The old breeds like Gloucester Old Spot, Wessex Saddleback, Berkshire and Tamworth.   Three of the pros discussed are as follows: Quote: Your pigs will taste better than the average pig (assuming you feed them good food). Remember, you are what you eat and you are what you eat eats! They’ll clear your land of more or less all vegetation minus large trees. They’ll fertilize your land and any land downstream from your land End Quote   Taste in meat is personal thing. The point is all pigs were one raised on “mast” which I believe is counted in the Domesday Book. Mast refers to things like acorns, beechnuts, hazelnuts and so on. It is possible to raise pigs on these resources now if you have them or access to them. Back in episode 22 the interview episode, Llew from the North Island of New Zealand told us about her pigs and how they were supposed to clean up the Macadamia windfalls. Unfortunately her pigs were standing on their hind legs to eat the low hanging nuts straight from the tree. Pigs are useful, all useful things have their limits.   John Seymour, of The Complete Book of Self Sufficiency fame recommended pigs as having a plough at the front end and manure spreader at the back. To his  mind they were for cleaning land as well as fertilising. So putting them in after your potato harvest and they will clear any you missed. They’ll turn old pasture into a ploughed field as near as ready for sowing as you could ask.   There is also an established if small market for this type of pork which is good and means you shouldn’t have to eat nothing but pork three meals a day. There is, therefore much to recommend pigs of pasture.   Now to the cons.   Longish Quote: If you raise pigs in a field, forest, meadow, or pasture, that is where they’ll most likely be when you go to round them up for slaughter. This is NOT an easy task in many cases. Many YouTubers, movies, and bloggers have idyllic photos and videos of homesteaders and farmers frolicking with their pigs. That may be true for about 5 minutes, or on days when you and they have nowhere special to be. As soon as you roll up with a trailer and they see you salivating at the thought of eating them as ham and bacon – you’ll soon find out how belligerent a pig can be! A pig is a like an impetuous 300lb bodybuilding two-year-old. Catching them requires work and ingenuity. It might also take some nerves. A caught pig makes a lot of unsettling noise. If you have to deliver a live animal to the butcher, it’s going to take some effort. On average, it takes us 70 minutes per pig to gather and place in a trailer. Oh, and that is for 4-5 strong and fit men. End Quote   There are any number of stories from the Middle Ages of Royalty and Nobility being killed off early in boar hunts. Now a domesticated pig is not a wild boar but the point is well made. 300 pounds, or 140 kgs of annoyed pig can make quite a difficult proposition but others can do it so I guess we all can, if we want.   To quote again: All in all, raising pigs has been a great experience – one that we intend to keep doing. However, it’s not without its challenges and knowing these beforehand can be helpful. End Quote   And now from Little Redhead Homestead comes the post: The Top 5 Things I Have Learned Since I’ve Started Homesteading   Let’s get into them   1  It does NOT look like it does in the movies!! 2  All hands on deck! 3 Things really don’t go as planned 4 You will wake up sometimes and wonder what the point is. 5  It’s a slow process   I just have to quote from #1 It does NOT look like it does in the movies!!   Quote: ..the ugly truth of homesteading isn’t meant for the movies. It can be beautiful and fun and romantic and whatever else you fantasize about, but there is another side to every coin and it involves poop, blood, death, cold, heat, splinters, animal bites and scratches, loose animals, plant diseases, smells, rain, wind that blows your sheet off your clothesline and smothers nearby seedlings (it’s happened!), aphids, rabbits eating half the strawberry patch you’ve waited all winter for (happened last week), being too sick to feed yourself, but still having to go out and feed animals. I could go on, but you get the picture! End Quote   Naturally, the real world has little to do with tinsel town but the just quoted words sums up life in more of its red in tooth and claw reality than a comfortable city life can ever be. Don’t forget the start of that quote: beautiful, fun and romantic. In my experience these are just magnified because of their juxtaposition with the other things going on.   All of that being so I can understand point #4 You will wake up sometimes and wonder what the point is.   Quote When you were up all night with sick kids, you’re pregnant, you’re hungry and you’re too cold to get out of bed, you are going to start thinking of reasons to quit and be normal. After all, it’s not like you can vent to many people about how hard it is. It’s not something many seem to empathize with these days. Just try to remember that it’s all worth the trouble and that being normal is for schmucks!! End Quote.   And there is one thing in this life of which I am certain: Anyone who listens to this podcast is definitely not a Schmuck!   And on that happy thought we will end this week’s episode.   If you’ve liked what you heard, please tell everyone you know any way you can! I’d also really appreciate a review on iTunes. This may or may not help others to find us but it gives this podcaster an enormous thrill! Thanks in advance!   Any suggestions, feedback or criticisms of the podcast or blog are most welcome. email me at podcast@worldorganicnews.com.   Thank you for listening and I'll be back in a week.   **** Links   Pastured Pork Pros and Cons http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-f4y   The Top 5 Things I Have Learned Since I’ve Started Homesteading http://wp.me/p5Cqpo-f6X

Prof Chris Gosden explains what his research tells us about regional developments and variations in English settlement and landscape changes over time. The English Landscapes and Identities project pulled together all the major digital sources for archaeology in England into a single database from which statistical and spatial analyses were undertaken. The project combines evidence on landscape features, such as track-ways, fields and settlements, with the distribution of certain artefact types (particularly metalwork). They looked at the period from 1500 BC when the first field systems and agricultural landscapes were set up to AD 1086 when the first reasonably detailed written account of the landscape was produced through the Domesday Book.We found marked regional variation, with the north and west of England having dispersed settlement and low levels of artifact use throughout our period of interest, whereas in the south and east larger settlements gradually developed within a denser overall population and higher levels of artifact use. Within these broad differences we also recognized smaller scale local variations in the growing and consumption of food, landscape layouts and so on, providing a multi-scalar impression of the landscape creating a kaleidoscope of similarity and difference. There was considerable continuity in landscape use in the south and east between the prehistoric and the Roman periods, but from the middle of the early medieval period onwards the landscape changed dramatically with the growth of nucleated villages, open fields and of private property. In the north and east more continuity is seen, with some sites being revisited over many centuries and even millennia maintaining a dispersed settlement pattern. The main outcomes of the project are a monograph authored by the team as a whole, an atlas combining the results of computer analysis and art work and a website, which has made the data publically available. The website can accessed at http://englaid.arch.ox.ac.uk Chris Gosden is Professor of European Archaeology and Professorial Fellow at Keble College. He is Director of the Institute of Archaeology.

next episode  16th march William the Conqueror (c.1028 - c.1087)   Early in 1066, Edward, king of England died and Harold, Earl of Wessex was crowned king. William was furious, claiming that in 1051 Edward, a distant cousin, had promised him the throne and that Harold had later sworn to support that claim.   The first years of William's reign were spent crushing resistance and securing his borders, which he did with ruthless efficiency.    Horrible Histories  How William the Conqueror  came to England Horrible histories battle of Hastings - YouTube The Domesday Book     Based on the Domesday survey of 1085-6, which was drawn up on the orders of King William I, it describes in remarkable detail, the landholdings and resources of late 11th-century England,    Providing definitive proof of rights to land and obligations to tax and military service, its 913 pages and two million Latin words describe more than 13,000 places in England and parts of Wales. Nicknamed the 'Domesday' Book by the native English, after God's final Day of Judgement     Richard the Lionheart   As king, Richard's chief ambition was to join the Third Crusade, prompted by Saladin's capture of Jerusalem in 1187. To finance this, he sold sheriffdoms and other offices and in 1190 he departed for the Holy Land.    Although he came close, Jerusalem, the crusade's main objective, eluded him. Moreover, fierce quarrels among the French, German and English contingents provided further troubles. After a year's stalemate, Richard made a truce with Saladin and started his journey home   Richard the lion heart video Horrible Histories King Richard I - YouTube    Richard, became king. John received titles, lands and money, but this was not enough. In October 1190, Richard recognised his nephew, Arthur, as his heir. Three years later, when Richard was imprisoned in Germany, John tried to seize control. He was unsuccessful and, when Richard returned in early 1194, was banished. The two were soon reconciled and, when Arthur was captured by Philip II in 1196, Richard named John heir   Richard the lion heart death video   Horrible Histories Stupid Deaths Richard The Lion Heart - YouTube    King john In 1199, Richard died and John became king.      his government became increasingly ruthless and efficient in its financial administration. Taxes soared and he began to exploit his feudal rights ever more harshly.   This bred increasing baronial discontent. Negotiations between John and his barons failed and civil war broke out in May 1215. When the rebels seized London, John was compelled to negotiate further and, on 19 June at Runnymede on the River Thames, he accepted the baronial terms embodied in the Magna Carta   King john hoorible histories  Horrible Histories New Song - Epic Magna Carta Rap Battle - CBBC - YouTube   Megna Carta  HH song  Horrible Histories Song NEW! - Magna Carta 800 Years Song - CBBC - YouTube   king John   HH Chatty death Horrible Histories Stupid Deaths: King John I OF England - YouTube

Melvyn Bragg and his guests discuss the Domesday Book, a vast survey of the land and property of much of England and Wales completed in 1086. Twenty years after the Battle of Hastings, William the Conqueror sent officials to most of his new territories to compile a list of land holdings and to gather information about settlements, the people who lived there and even their farm animals. Almost without parallel in European history, the resulting document was of immense importance for many centuries, and remains a central source for medieval historians.
