HI VERDENT!

Explanation:

1)TRUE

2)THE PARLIAMENT

3)The main objective of the survey was to determine what taxes were owed during the reign of King Edward the Confessor, which determined William to reaffirm the rights of the Crown and assess where power will be affected after a total redistribution of land after the Norman conquest.

The advisors' calculation of a man's possessions and their values, as recorded in the Domesday Book, was decisive and without recourse.

4)TRUE

5)Fantastic sculptures.

6)TRUE (Common law, also known as case law, is a body of unwritten laws based on legalprecedents established by the courts. Common law draws from institutionalized opinions and interpretations from judicial authorities and public juries.)

7)Magna Carta, which means ‘The Great Charter’, is one of the most important documents in history as it established the principle that everyone is subject to the law, even the king, and guarantees the rights of individuals, the right to justice and the right to a fair trial.

The whole document is written in Latin, and the original Magna Carta had 63 clauses. Today, only three of these remain on the statute books; one defends the liberties and rights of the English Church, another confirms the liberties and customs of London and other towns, and the third gives all English subjects the right to justice and a fair trial. The third says:

“No free man shall be seized or imprisoned, or stripped of his rights or possessions, or outlawed or exiled, or deprived of his standing in any other way, nor will we proceed with force against him, or send others to do so, except by the lawful judgement of his equals or by the law of the land.

“To no one will we sell, to no one deny or delay right or justice.”  

8)Its basic cause was a dynastic quarrel that originated when the conquest of England by William of Normandy created a state lying on both sides of the English Channel in the 14th cent. The English kings held the duchy of Guienne in France; they resented paying homage to the French kings, and they feared the increasing control exerted by the French crown over its great feudal vassals.  

The immediate causes of the Hundred Years War were the dissatisfaction ofEdward III of England with the nonfulfillment by Philip VI of France of his pledges to restore a part of Guienne taken by Charles IV; the English attempts to control Flanders, an important market for English wool and a source of cloth; and Philip's support of Scotland against England.

9)Joan of Arc was important in the Hundred Years' War because somehow she managed to turn the tide of the war in favor of France. By 1429, the French side was in bad shape in the Hundred Years' War. They had suffered a huge defeat at Agincourt in 1415.

1. True. Pope Urban II made a speech which gave very influential power and made the Crusades essentially rise.

2. The Parliament. In the English government he formalizared and made normal of baronial participation through the English Parliament.

3. The Domesday Book was commissioned by William I of England. Also known as William the Conqueror, he made the Domesday Book to keep track of who had what, regarding land, animals, and buildings. This was so he could raise the taxes accordingly.

4. True. The Great Schism was the breaking up of Christianity into two, the Roman Catholic Church and the Eastern Orthodox Church. By the end it lead to the trinity of three popes becoming accepted.

5. Pointed arches. Gothic cathedrals did not have pointed arches, but they did have fantastic sculptures, ribbed vaults, and large stained glass windows unlike Romanesque cathedrals.

6. True. Common law has to do with precedent, which are rules that were made in previous cases.

7. Established legal limits on the power of the king. The Magna Carta was the very first document that officially set the rights of English citizens. This was made after people begged for this to be put in place as they wanted their rights. In the Magna Carta, it says that the king can not do what he pleases and he must follow the law like everyone else.

8. Edward III's claim to the French crown. King Edward III thought he was the rightful owner of the French throne which caused a very long battle between England and France.

9. The popular support she generated for the king. Joan of Arc was a peasant but stated that she had a vision from God, this caused her to basically take hold on the French army and she lead numerous victories.
