1)Eleanor and Louis were betrothed to each other a a slightly later age than most being betrothed. Eleanor's Father and Grandfather were so arrogant, that they thought they were IMMORTAL! Because of this slightly dumb thought, the Grandfather and Father were not in a rush at all! So Eleanor and Loius were betrothed later than most. "I think ," I said, "that the fair Eleanor was saved because her father and grandfather thought that they would never die" (Konisburg 20) in this quote, Abbot Suger is telling Louis why that Eleanor has not yet been betrothed, Her father was a quite, weird man, Abbot Suger was telling louis about this one time at a prayer , that he heard Duke William bribing god for forgiveness.

2) In the first part of the book, Eleanor had made some pretty sacrificing decisions that have effected the way people live and work, After Eleanor and Louis were betrothed, she begged Louis to go on the Crusade(holy war), Eleanor was not going to battle, she just wanted to see more beautiful places, Louis , being nagged and nagged gave in, "Eleanor rode through every foreign town, able to spot some sight to store in her memory." (50) She was just in it for the beauty, but one thing that this decision did, was effect her husband Louis , This beautiful voyage to Eleanor, was not so beautiful for Louis , this Voyage costed him all of his men, and he lost very many of them, Eleanors decision effected Louis army for a long time

= = =Wiki post #2= = = == Divine justice, is kinda like karma, its practicly gods holy court, he brings justice to anyone who insults him.. Abbot Suger was telling Eleanor how Geoffry was begging to god, and that really sounded like an insult ."And then after dear god,im going to make a nice donation to one of you churches" (21) In this Geoffry is begging to god for strength and forgivness, he even bribes him, and bribing god is a major disrespect factor, so i think Geoffry was a victim of divine justice, because of his choice to bribe god. = =

Eleanor and Matilda are against voting for Becket for archbishop,because they are afraid, with that much power, Becket will support god instead of Henry.. But, Henry is all for him being Appointed, because he really likes Thomas, and with a right hand man he could do a lot. I think that Thomas Becket will definatly be Appointed but he will not support Henry he will support god, and gain so much power. = = =

Response 1

= In The proud taste of scarlet and miniver, King henry and Eleanors teachings are very different, In the book Eleanor teaches Richard about how to be a good ruler, she took him on all of her trips and taught him life lessons on being successful, she really was a great teacher. But on the other hand, King Henry was not that great. Young Henry wants to be a successful ruler, so why not learn from one? As life goes on Young Henry thinks he going to be getting great teaching. King Henry said " Every job in the world has some built in boredom."(123) Yet young Henrys jobs were all boring!, So i think he is defiantly using Young Henry to run errands for him. =



Response 2 ==== I think that the Courts of Love have Impacted the way Men treat women in the world with great power. I think Without the Courts of Love men wouldnt learn to respect their woman and respect what they do for these men. Even today we still have classes that teach Men and Boys how to treat Woman. Treat people nhow you wpould like to be treated, And a man should treat a woman with great respect. In this age in time Men should be the most polite to Woman, because its just a way to show that you care that their gender is on this earth. ==== ==== "The courts of Love had laws: the male must be polite, he must be neat, he must regard his lady-love as someone above earthly temptation, a s someone too frail to be exposed to the roughness of life, as someone to protect, as someone who must be helped to sit at a table" (134) ==== ==== These rules are often still useed today to let men know how they should treat woman, They deserve the most respect from you. Whether if its your mom or your girlfriend, You need to treat them like you would treat 10 million dollars in your hand, Priceless. ====
