WIKI POST # 1 FRIDAY, MARCH 23, 2012 === 1. Louis and Eleanor were betrothed to each other later than most people were during the 12 century. One reason was because they both came from wealth families and never needed a husband nor wife. Abbot said," William knew that his daughter would need a husband, and that is why he had sent messengers to his king." Eleanor's father did not believe that Eleanor could survive alone so he had sent a Prince to betroth to his daughter. Being from wealth families was the main reason why Eleanor and Louis were betrothed to each other later than other people were during the 12 century. === === 2. Eleanor decision to marry Louis changed her behavior and or actions. Eleanor used to be a very active and exciting girl, and always seemed to get what she wanted. Louis changed that and made things go his way. In the book Louis says " You shall also show some restraint. And I know you don't like that." Elanor gets punished for wondering off where she should of stayed put which caused the Turks a perfect chance to attack them while they were looking for her. The Turks killed many of their men and Louis is furious with Elanor so he changes her ways. Eleanor will now go by Louis rules instead of her own. ===

=== 1.) The idea of Divine Justice is karma. When Geoffrey went to court with Abbot Bernard he asked him to give up his prisoner but he refused. This made Abbot Bernard angry and he said," Beware Count of Anjou, beware what shall befall you." ( E. L. Konigsburg 81 ). Then as Geoffrey was returning from court, a fever killed him. What Abbot Bernard said was true which makes me to believe that Divine Justices dose exist. This connects to the "EQ" by if you were to hit a kid, later on something bad might happen to you. Divine Justice is another example of karma, which will come back to haunt you if you do something bad. ===

=== 2.) Eleanor and Mitilda are against Henry on believing that Thomas Becket will become Archbishop because they think that Thomas will not chose to be Archbishop. They think Thomas Becket would rather serve for god than him. Henry wants Thomas to be Archbishop because the Archbishop pays more homage than a chancellor and Henry wants his son to have as much homage as possible. Thomas says," But the homage paid by the king's chancellor weighs as a penny to a pound compared to the importance of the homage paid by the Archbishop of Canterbury." ( E. L. Konigsburg 110). The outcome to this was that Thomas chose not to be Archbishop and to serve for god, not Henry. This is why Eleanor and Mother Mitilda are so against Henry's idea to appoint Thomas Becket as Archbishop. ===

=== 1.) Eleanor and King Henry's teachings are different by Eleanor lets Richard make decisions as well as to do the routine. The only thing King Henry lets Young Henry do was to be an errand boy when he was really exposed to learning government. William the Marshal says, " Young Henry would tire of the jobs was given and he would complain to his father" ( e.l. Konigsburg 139 ). William is telling that young Henry is growing angrier at his father for giving him the same jobs and soon begins to complain about it. Henry soon left after being given the same old jobs and the king tried to bribe him back. He would not return until the King offered his son the crown of England. King Henry's method of teaching connects to the "EQ" by King Henry's decision to not let Henry learn and do as much stuff as he was exposed to made Young Henry not a great king. Eleanor's method of teaching connects to the "EQ" by Eleanor's decision to let Richard be more active when learning made Richard a better king than Young Henry. Young Henry and Richard went to war and Richard won which means that Richard was probably more prepared for the war than Young Henry was. Eleanor and King Henry's ways of teachings were much different which made them to be the people they turned out to be. ===

=== 2.) The Courts of Love rules have had a huge impact on how men treat women today. In Courts of Love rules, there are many things that all men do today. William says, " The Courts of Love had laws : the male must be polite, he must regard his lady-loves someone above earthly temptation, as someone too frail to be exposed to the roughness of life, as someone to protect " ( e.l. Konigsburg 134 ). These laws listed are ever yday types of manners that men use, it is not a law, it is a way of showing that you like a girl. A man might use the manners at places such as at dinner parties . He also might use them if he is trying to impress a girl with his manners. The Courts of Love have had a huge impact on men and are now to be daily things for men. ===
