In week 2, you will have the opportunity to learn more about the intricacies of medieval society.
Where does power come from? Who wields this power and how is it used? Through the following readings, lectures, and assignments, you should get a pretty good idea as to the power stakeholders of the era. Although there is more than one answer to these questions, you will be required to formulate your own response. But (!), keep in mind that you must use specific examples to back up your choice.
A list of this week's readings are located below, but can also be found throughout their respective lessons. Remember, all week 2 assignments (including assessments) are due no later than midnight on Friday, April 6th. Also, don't forget to reply to at least TWO of your classmates' week 1 postings by midnight on Wednesday, April 4th.
