	 1a Questão
	
	
	
	
	What were the two basic principles of Feudalism?
		
	
	The two basic principals had to do with the cultural aspects of the Anglo-Saxon world.
	
	The first principal dealt with the fact that both women and children had to work and the second one gave the King the right to receive the products from the land.
	
	The first principle was associated with the idea that ordinary people had to work in exchange for food and shelter and the second one dealt with the fact that ten-year-old boys could also work if it proved necessary.
	 
	The first principal was connected to the fact that every man had a lord and the second one was related to the idea that every lord had land.
	
	Both principles relied on the fact that even though the land was the King¿s property, after ten years, the ordinary people would have the right to run their own business as it pleased them.

	 4a Questão
	
	
	
	
	What did Feudalism mean? From the alternatives below EXCEPT ONE can not answer the previous question. Choose the alternative that is NOT CORRECT in relation to the concept of Feudalism:
		
	
	The central idea of feudalism was that all land was owned by the king but it was held by others, called 'vassals', in return for services and goods. Large estates were given by the king to his main nobles in return for a promise to serve him in war for up to forty days..
	
	During feudalism, the holding of the land was the very basis of the entire feudal system and society and its main purpose was economic.
	
	In those times, part of the produce of the land had to be given to the king. The greater nobles gave part of their lands to lesser nobles, knights, and other ´freeman´. Some freeman paid for the land by doing military service, while others paid rent.
	 
	During feudalism, every man and woman lived freely and nobility hierarchy was very flexible because individual freedom prevented from the constitution of a strong central power in the figure of a mighty respectable king.
	
	The word 'feudalism' comes from the French word feu, which the Normans used to refer to land held in return for duty or service to a lord.

	 7a Questão
	
	
	
	
	What was the importance of Roman Catholic Church monks to the Anglo-Saxon world?
		
	
	They were just responsible for the agriculture at that time.
	
	The monks helped the landlords to become powerful because they created a good number of laws to protect them.
	 
	They eventually turned out to be kings, blessed by the Church and, as they could read and write, they could control vital trade routes which were so important for the development of the country.
	
	They wrote poems which came down to us and published interesting historical books which were translated into French and German as the monks had all come from France and Germany.
	 
	They were not only responsible for the increase of local trade, leading to human and cultural development, but also, as they were basically the only ones who could read and write, they registered important social and political facts which occurred at the time.
