Medieval Farming terms






Bailiff /Reeve– Top peasant who was the lord's manager. The bailiff helped oversee the villeins’ work, the profits and expenses of the manor and farm.  The term mayor and sheriff also originates from this term. The reeve made sure the villeins and serfs worked for the lord, started their work on time and did not cheat the lord out of any money.

Serf/ Villein – a peasant who was not free. They worked on the lord’s land and did certain jobs for him in return for the use of some land for himself. A villein was bound to work on a certain manor.

Manor – all the land owned by the lord in a medieval village which included the fields, the common land and the woodland.

The Manor house – the main house owned by the lord of the manor

Demesne (pronounced “domain”) – the best land in the manor for the Lord to farm.

Freeman – Serfs could escape the manor and live in a city for a year and a day and become a freeman.  That is where the saying "city air makes one free" originates.  Freeman on the farm were peasants who paid the lord to farm their land. They did not have to work for the lord every week like the serfs/villains, but did have to help out at busy times of the year and pay to use the lord’s oven and his mill. They could be thrown off the land if the lord had enough serfs to farm the land.

The Hayward – The peasant who looked after the cows

The Shepherd – The peasant who looked after the sheep

The swineherd – The peasant who looked after the pigs

Crops – the plants grown by the farmers which commonly included wheat and barley.  Look at three field system notes.

Harvest – Gathering in the crops from the fields when they are ready. Reaping is the cutting of the grain for harvest, using a scythe or sickle. Completed in the fall, the Octoberfest would follow.

Ploughing – This is when the top layers of soil are cut open, and turned over to bring nutrients to the surface and to allow air to enter, usually done around Groundhog's day also called Candlemas.(rows were blessed by local priest)

Harrowing – Used to break up the earth even more than ploughing and also used to cover the seeds after sowing.

Sowing – The process of planting the seeds in the fields.  Seeds scattered throughout the fields.

Fallow - the land that is left to rest and not farmed for a year so the nutrients can be replaced.

Furrow – long lines made in the fields after ploughing.

Open field system/Three field system – the system by which the manor was split into three or four big unfenced fields which were in turn divided up into strips farmed by the peasants

Week of November 16, 2015

Friday night's terrorist acts in Paris remind me where extremist philosophies can lead, and it is important to remember that they do not reflect the typical Muslim. The Nazi's were German Christians, and they did not reflect the majority of Christians in Germany when they came to power in 1933. The Nazi's were able to play on the fear and anxieties of the typical German following the Treaty of Versailles. The fears and anxieties fundamentalist Muslims play upon will be discussed this week. We will also see how Gandhi dealt with the fear and anxieties of his day.  Remember that Gandhi was a contemporary of both Hitler and Stalin, and helped to develop the concept of Civil disobedience as a means of change.

Lao Tzu
Being deeply loved by someone gives you strength, while loving someone deeply gives you courage.”
 
“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”

“Simplicity,  patience, compassion.
These three are your greatest treasures.
Simple in actions and thoughts, you return to the source of being.
Patient with both friends and enemies,
you accord with the way things are.
Compassionate toward yourself,
you reconcile all beings in the world.”
― 
Lao TzuTao Te Ching

“Knowing others is intelligence; knowing yourself is true wisdom. Mastering others is strength; mastering yourself is true power. If you realize that you have enough, you are truly rich.”
― 
Lao TzuTao Te Ching
 “A good traveler has no fixed plans and is not intent on arriving.”
― 
Lao Tzu
 “Those who know do not speak. Those who speak do not know.”
― 
Lao TzuTao Teh Ching
 “Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don't resist them; that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.”
― 
Lao Tzu
 “When I let go of what I am, I become what I might be.”

Lao Tzu

the whole world belongs to you.”
― 
Lao Tzu




Han Fei Tzu
(c.280 BC-233 BC) Philosopher and political theorist of the Legalist School (Fa Chia)

It is dangerous for a ruler to trust others. He who trusts others can be manipulated by others.
Indeed, customs differ between the past and the present. To try to govern the people of a chaotic age with benevolence and lenient measures is like to drive wild horses without reins and whips.
In usual circumstances, everyone knows that water overwhelms fire. However, when there is a kettle between them, water will get bubbly and will boil itself away on the top, while fire will endure underneath.
Tao does not have a visible existence, nor does it have an intelligible function.
When you hear any statements made, do not alter or shift them. Just compare them with the actions, and observe whether the statements and actions correspond with each other.
When it comes to women, the wise ruler may enjoy them, but should not be drawn into their pleas or submit to their requests.
When it comes to people who are close to him, he enjoys them, but is sure to hold them responsible for what they say, and prevent them from expressing unasked for opinions.
When it comes to uncles, brothers, and chief vassals, he should punish them when their advice leads to failure, and promote them when their advice leads to success. He should not promote them erratically.
When it comes to pleasures and the enjoyment of valuable goods, he should have a staff tha handles these things, and prohibit anyone from having the freedom to control them. Otherwise, ministers will be able to manipulate the sovereign by knowing his wants.
When it comes to favors, he should grant them at his own will to use emergency resources and public storehouses, and benefit the people. A minister should never be allowed to give based on his personal favorites.
When it comes to persuasions and discussions, he must observe and find out people who are considered skillful at something, and verify the lack of skill in those who are considered bad. He should always avoid letting ministers talk to each other about them.


The wise ruler institutes posts, offices, ranks, and bounties in order to offer a guarantee to promote the worthy and encourage the excellent. …

The 14th Dalai Lama wrote: 

The Paradox of Our Age 
We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time;
We have more degrees, but less sense;
more knowledge, but less judgement;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicines, but less healthiness;
We've been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble crossing the street to meet the new neighbor.
We built more computers to hold more information to produce more copies than ever,
but have less communication;
We have become long on quantity, but short on quality.
There are times of fast foods, but slow digestion;
Tall man, but short character;
Steep profits, but shallow relationships.
It's a time when there is much in the window, but nothing in the room.
