   we still suffer the land to belong to the same people…each citizen born should be given a little land, taken from those who took it all.

   It's interesting to see these old documentaries, and the academic biases of their times. This one looks to be from the late 90s or so, and shows quite a few over-corrections of the popular misconceptions that were common during the time before it. The filthy peasants were particularly amusing, and had more in common with Monty Python than the early medieval era. No one with sound faculties has ever willingly lived in such wretched, dirt-caked conditions, covered in mud and muck, when a broom and a wet cloth could so easily solve the problem.

   Our Heavenly Father did not give Mankind that authority of landlords, Our Heavenly Father loaned mankind the Earth 🌎. There's a such thing of property owners and those who help build them contractors.

   1:12 creating an empire sounds so much nicer than going on a killing spree to enslave foreigners.

    2023 is no difference than life before . The whole machine is corrupted against people who do not love paper money. Somehow people with paper in their pockets think their better than others . How wrong can you be?

    The Truth of Central European Suffering by Jewish and Arab Slave Traders in the Middle Ages:
    – Between 825 – 828: King Louis I the Pious granted several Jews the right to import and sell foreign slaves.
    – Archbishop Agobard of Lyon condemned the royal officials who agreed with the Jewish merchants that:
    Gentile slaves want to be baptized just to gain freedom, therefore
    they were only to be baptized if the owner received the price demanded for them.
    – Agobard also accused the Jews of selling into slavery even those born Christians.
    – In the customs books of the city of Raffelstetten on the Danube, which was an important commercial center in the early Middle Ages, the names of Jewish slave traders appear in the records as early as 906.
    – At the end of the 9th century: the Arab geographer Ibn Khordadbeh mentions eunuch slaves among other goods that were traded by Jewish merchants on the sea routes and in caravans from Franconia to China.
    – In 970 Jewish traveler Ibrahim Ibn Yaakub reports that slave traders were mostly Jews (along with Muslims and Turks) in Prague.
    – In 988, Bishop Adalbert of Prague resigned after failing to rescue a group of Christian slaves purchased by a Jewish slave trader.
    – in 1004, Jewish slave traders are mentioned in the Koblenz customs books.
    – in 1009 they appear in connection with the accusation of the Margrave of Meissen in the sale of white slaves to Jews.

    I studied Mediaeval history for much of my life. I have read literally hundreds of village court rolls and other documents over the years. Serfdom never, in reality, was as brutal as described. In order to pay for the land they lived on and farmed, serfs were required to put in a certain amount of labor to whoever actually owned the land. This service was usually two mornings a week. While working for the landowner, be it lord or monastery. They were fed and given ale while they worked. When reading the court rolls from various villages, these victimized individuals show up all over the place, usually buying or selling pieces of land. Odd behaviour for people tied to their land. My expertise is mainly centered on England and Ireland from around the sixth through the fifteenth century, so I don’t claim to have much intricate knowledge of the condition of ordinary people on the continent.

    At least that's better than today. Many people are homeless after one bad paycheck, and they could actually forage. I hate modern society. It's cancer.

    I'm convinced that the Catholic church was never a God/Christ centric organization. It's always been an organization that uses Christianity as a cloak to disguise common secular interests of greed and power and pomp and pageantry.

    Every time you have great wealth you also have great poverty because of those who have the wealth. To me the middle ages are from 1000 to 1600

    I don’t think it sounds so bad. You have food, shelter, knew your place in society, You got lots of time off for religious feasts and ready made friends and family. From today’s perspective, the fact of no education and chance to leave would make it unacceptable to most people today.

    Whatever the formal relationship was, under feudalism every and freeman knew his lord and his lord knew them. Fairness was guaranteed by their mutual dependence, not least by the fact that serfs outnumbered lords by hundreds to one. Not much use being a lord if you have to hide behind your castle walls. Therefore I think we do the feudal system a great injustice – it was far more human than todays polarised class exploitation. It gets a bad press because history is written by the bourgeois scum that overthrew it.
