Spenser's Faerie Queene study questions Since The Faerie Queene in some ways resembles an Arthurian romance, Duessa can be compared with the seductresses and sorceresses of Arthurian tradition (Morgan la Fee; Lady Bercilak in Sir Gawain and the Green Knight): she uses a negative form of "courtly love" to manipulate men. Both fight with and kill the knight who had been Duessa's escort, and both are led by deceptions and enchantments to abandon their own true loves (Una, Fraelissa), in each case replacing the "true" lady with the false and evil Duessa. Through her lies, the seductive "Fidessa" utterly captivates the clueless RCK (again note use of courtly love-type scenarios in st. 26-30); here the language of courtly love is presented as being unreliable, deceptive and even evil. cla.calpoly.edu /~dschwart/engl331/fq.html   (6440 words)

GLOSSARY - BURKE'S GUIDE TO BRITISH TITLES The baron would grant some of his lands as a knight's fee to a subtenant who in return had to serve on campaign under his feudal superior, though only for a fixed term. The knighting of men, particularly on military service, by commanding officers persisted for many centuries and was the origin of the term knight banneret, where the grantee's pennon was clipped as a mark of distinction. The Knight of Glin is addressed formerly in the second person as 'Knight' (his wife as 'Madam FitzGerald') and colloquially referred to in the third person as 'The Knight'. www.burkes-peerage.net /sites/peerage/sitepages/page66-knight.asp   (965 words)

Humphrey’s wife was that Matilda, party to a fine 1235, in which their son, called Robert de Livermere, quitclaimed one third of a knight’s fee in Livermere as dower of Matilda mother of Robert. www.genealogysource.com /druryhistpt1.htm   (706 words)

With this Manor, held in serjeanty "per baroniam," the ancient Barony accompanying it must also have left the Camoys family, and possibly the fact that it was practically alienated by Thomas de Camoys almost immediately after his father's death may account for his never being summoned to Parliament. users.qconline.com /~kemmy/book/kemmis03.html   (6894 words)

Scutage - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia The tax of scutage or escuage in the law of England involved the pecuniary commutation, under the feudal system, of the military service due from the holder of a knight's fee. The terms of charters of subinfeudation, which specified the quota of scutage due rather than the proportion of a knight's fee granted, often stereotyped scutage. Apart from its financial aspect it had possessed a legal importance as the test, according to Bracton, of tenure by knight-service, its payment, on however small a scale, proving the tenure to be "military" with all the consequences involved. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Scutage   (6894 words)

But Gore recently (on September 18, 2000) told a union meeting that his parents sung him to sleep with lullabies such as "Look for the union label" -- a song that was written as a jingle for a union ad in 1975, when Gore was 27. www.realchange.org /gore.htm   (1004 words)

KNIPPERDOLLINCK, BERNT - LoveToKnow Article on KNIPPERDOLLINCK, BERNT The knights fee, however, remained a knights fee, and the pecuniary incidents of military tenure, especially wardship, marriage, and fines on alienation, long continued to be a source of revenue to the crown. The barons, instead of paying scutage, compounded for their service by the payment of lump sums, and, by a process which is still obscure, the nominal quotas of knight-service due from each had, by the time of Edward I., been largely reduced. The disintegration of the system was carried farther in the latter half of the 13th century as a consequence of changes in warfare, which were increasing the importance of foot soldiers and making the service of a knight for forty days of less value to the king. 61.1911encyclopedia.org /K/KN/KNIPPERDOLLINCK_BERNT.htm   (1004 words)
