Topic: Social organisation


In the News (Sun 29 Nov 09)

  
  Regia Anglorum - Viking Social Organisation
Viking social structure conformed to the Indo-European pattern by dividing people into classes; the rulers, the free and the unfree.
Lowest in the social order were the thralls (male-thrall; female-ambatt) or slaves.
The power and organisational abilities of the Christian Church also aided the king, to their mutual benefit.

 "To what extent can archaeologists reconstruct the social organisation of prehistoric societies?"
Such queries again show how it is possible to reconstruct an image of social organisation, but are always limited by the finite range of evidence.
Thus, we have identified that there are many factors that archaeologists can use to study a former settlement's social organisation on a macro-scale (Central Place Theory and its effects) to a micro-scale (graveyards and the effects of social organisation on its burial customs).
Due to these limitations it fair to say that archaeologists can reconstruct social organisation of a prehistoric society, but it cannot be totally reliable due to the nature of archaeological evidence.

 Regia Anglorum - Norman Social Organisation and Feudalism
Regia Anglorum - Norman Social Organisation and Feudalism
This term was used from the visual reference of the 1700's, and not during the Norman Conquest, for the simple reason that the subtle governmental system that Harold II had used and as his predecessors had done was unknown.
It was historically expedient for 17th century historians to place an unfavourable social cut-off at the point of the conquest, which in fact was just the transfer of power from one social class to another albeit foreign one.

 Regia Anglorum - Saxon Social Organisation
The Anglo-Saxon community in England was basically a rural one, where primarily all classes of society lived on the land.
Sometimes, when times were particularly hard, people sold themselves into slavery to ensure they were provisioned, and thus survived.
When looking at Anglo-Saxon social organisation it is important to describe the geographical division of Saxon Britain.
