= Friday, March 23, 2012: Wiki Post #1 = == ** 1. Eleanore's father didn't want Eleanore to be betrothed at a young age. This was because she wanted to stay wither her father. Her father and grandfather had very strong beliefs that they would never d‍‍‍ie, because they were very over confident, so when they did Eleanore married Louis. Eleanore's family had power because William was one of the Duke's top vassals. Louis was the second son of King Louis. Louis was the second son, so he was not meant to be ruler, he was supposed to be a priest. Since Louis was the second son, he did not need to be betrothed at a young age. Louis and Abbot Suger were talking one day about his marriage to Eleanore, and Louis said, **** "I was not meant to be rich. I am a second son. I was meant to be a priest, and I would have been one if my brother Philip's horse had not tripped over that old sow and broken Philip's neck in the process. He, not I, was born to be the king of France. I am second son and second choice, and that is why I have not been promised in marriage." Louis feels that he is no ‍‍‍t special because he is the second son and that he just got lucky by Philip dying. Louis doesn't seem very excited to be getting married to Eleanore, and getting the position of king because he feels like second place in everything. ** ==

== **2.** Eleanore and Louis were definitely effected by the EQ. Their decisions effected them greatly. Eleanore's decision to take over with Louis made her the Queen of many lands su‍‍‍ch as rance and England. She was also the Duchess of Aquitaine. Eleanore was also a very strong-willed women and she does what she wants. Not what any body else tells her to. She wants power and control and that is what she gets. Eleanore wants a man that is like her and gets what they wnt and has a will for life. Eleanore's decision to be very strong-willed and want power so badly really effected her relationship with Louis also. Louis was a very quiet suddle boy. He wants everything to be perfect and mellow. He is definitely not a power thirsty person. He just wants to pray and pray and pray. He gets excommunicated from the church and Eleanore doesn't care, but Louis on the other hand is very dissappointed in himself and is very depressed. It means something to Louis that got excommunicated from the church. Louis felt really badly that he got excommunicated from the ‍‍‍ church so he unappointed all of the bishops that he had appointed and the abbot lifted the ban. Eleanore and Louis were not the right people for each other because of their actions and choices. They are definitely a couple effected by the EQ. ==

= Tuesday March 28: Wiki Post #2 = = ‍1. Divine Justice is kind of like karma. Geoffrey wouldn't let go of his prisoners and then when he finally did to get unexcommunicated from the church, he died. This is why Abbot Bernard thinks he died from it. A person's decision really has a lot to do with Divine Justice because if you choose to do something bad or unreligious, Divine Justice will come bck and haunt you and you will probably get really sick or die ‍. = = 2. ‍Eleanore and Matilda thought that he would become loyal toother people and turn on them and take all of their power. Henry wanted Thomas to become archbishop because he wanted him to unite Church and English law together. He also thought that Thomas would be loyal to him because he is his steward. He thinks that he will do whatever Henry needs. He also thinks that Thomas will be a great addition to the church because he will listen to him. All Henry ever wants is power and that is what he is trying to get here. " Thomas will do whatever job is set before him, and he will do it well,(116)" is what Hery said when e was talking about how great he thinks Thomas will be ‍. =

=Monday, April 2: Wiki Post #3= = Eleanore and Henry's teaching methods are very different. Eleanore lets Richard rule and help her in court. He gets to act like the king of Aquitaine to learn how to rule. Richard loves how he is learning, while Young Henry on the other hand is miserable. King Henry makes Young Henry sit there and watch him. Young Henry doesn't get to interact with England at all because King Henry doesn't want to give up his crown yet. King Henry is a greedy man and he wants to keep his crown forever so he doesn't teach Young Henry anything. Richard gets to have fun and Young Henry has to sit thee and do nothing. When Eleanore was still teaching Richard, William told the reader,"Queen Eleanore introduced Richard, who was to have the Aquitaine, to her people. Richard traveled with his mother wherever she went. He took part in every ceremony. He sat by his mother when she held the court and when she collected taxes. He learned everything about government at her side"(139). He also said," Young Henry was supposed to learn government from his father, but King Henry was a different kind of teacher. After he finished conquering Ireland, he had Young Henry accompany him as he traveled through England. But the jobs he gave Young Henry were more those of an errand boy than of a prince"(139), about Young Henry. They both had very different styles and very different opinions of their teachers. It was not always easy to learn to become a ruler. =

= 2. The rules of Courtly love have affected how men treat women today. Men treat women more respectfully now because of the rules of Couetly love that were developed. They treat women with more love because of the rules that were developed. We see this more at school, cotillion, and dances. At dances some people are dating so they treat each other with ot of respect and hospitality. At cotillion they have to have manners because they learn them and have to dance together. At school, women have to be treated correctly or they will get in trouble. The rules of courtly love hae really affected how women are treated today. =
