00:00:00,090 --> 00:00:08,650
welcome back guys how much time it has passed since the last time okay so

2
00:00:08,650 --> 00:00:16,809
getting back to the topic we are going to study the point tree of the book in

3
00:00:16,809 --> 00:00:22,969
the unit tree which is the life in medieval cities let's see how the life

4
00:00:22,969 --> 00:00:29,370
in medieval cities was you see this is an image an ideal image of a medieval

5
00:00:29,370 --> 00:00:36,450
city you can see the city was surrounded by a solid wall of rock all right and

6
00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:46,049
always with a with a cathedral and with a main place main square and also in

7
00:00:46,049 --> 00:00:52,829
some times not in only cases there used to be a castle inside the walls all

8
00:00:52,829 --> 00:01:00,390
right okay this is an ideal image but what kind of important buildings used to

9
00:01:00,390 --> 00:01:10,349
have medieval city first of all we have to go to the gates of the wall the wall

10
00:01:10,349 --> 00:01:17,549
used to be composed by several gates but always used to used to be one which is

11
00:01:17,549 --> 00:01:24,430
the most important like in this case the gates used to be closed in the night so

12
00:01:24,430 --> 00:01:34,170
that nobody can go out and get in the city another important building is the

13
00:01:34,170 --> 00:01:39,329
cathedral is the religious building the most important in the Christian cities

14
00:01:39,329 --> 00:01:45,349
the cathedral was the center of the Christian people and maybe the most

15
00:01:45,349 --> 00:01:53,359
important building in all the city another important building was the city

16
00:01:53,359 --> 00:02:01,939
hall whenever the council used to be gathered as you can know in the previous

17
00:02:01,939 --> 00:02:08,039
years before in the early years the council of the city used to be gathered

18
00:02:08,039 --> 00:02:16,180
in the churches but when the passing of the years the mayor and the council

19
00:02:16,180 --> 00:02:22,060
decided to create new buildings dedicated to the to those meetings to

20
00:02:22,060 --> 00:02:28,539
those gatherings so the city halls were created like this one you have in on

21
00:02:28,539 --> 00:02:38,460
this image another important building was the hospital the hospital which used

22
00:02:38,460 --> 00:02:47,879
to be located around a big square and afterwards the square drives to the

23
00:02:47,879 --> 00:02:53,639
hospital which is the this this is an example of a building dedicated to

24
00:02:53,639 --> 00:03:01,560
hospital apart from that there were another very important buildings okay

25
00:03:01,560 --> 00:03:19,740
but that of here are the most important apart from that the city has a plane in

26
00:03:19,740 --> 00:03:25,319
the plane as you can see in this image which is an example of a city called

27
00:03:25,319 --> 00:03:34,780
ruins you can see a plane and this plane was divided into parishes into

28
00:03:34,780 --> 00:03:44,319
parishes and what is a parish is kind of a district a district of the city some

29
00:03:44,319 --> 00:03:51,219
of those parishes were habitated inhabited by not only by Christians but

30
00:03:51,219 --> 00:03:59,319
also by Jewish people and by Muslims overall in Spain the city of Toledo in

31
00:03:59,319 --> 00:04:04,360
the medieval ages was populated overall by Christians but there were parishes

32
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:11,319
dedicated to Muslims and to Jewish people apart from those neighborhoods or

33
00:04:11,319 --> 00:04:19,420
parishes or districts the rest of the districts which were Christians were

34
00:04:19,420 --> 00:04:26,319
baptized with the name of Saint like in this case you can see this district

35
00:04:26,319 --> 00:04:33,459
dedicated to samples in specifically the samples Cathedral was located in this

36
00:04:33,459 --> 00:04:45,069
harsh all right inside the city inside the plane of the city we have a very important place which

37
00:04:45,069 --> 00:04:55,509
was the main square mainly dedicated to the market which was held or celebrated once a week in this

38
00:04:55,509 --> 00:05:06,550
case you see the main square of Prague the capital city of a republic a checker in medieval plane you

39
00:05:06,550 --> 00:05:15,730
can also take into consideration and realize that the main cities or almost

40
00:05:15,730 --> 00:05:22,269
the whole the whole streets the whole streets of each one of the cities in

41
00:05:22,269 --> 00:05:31,029
Europe were narrow so narrow and windy with so many curves like in this case

42
00:05:31,029 --> 00:05:38,730
this is a city in Europe and you can see the streets are very narrow not wide and

43
00:05:38,730 --> 00:05:51,310
this is a common fact in the medieval cities oh wait a minute all right but

44
00:05:51,310 --> 00:05:57,689
the cities in the medieval ages had a very important problem this problem was

45
00:05:57,689 --> 00:06:07,170
that there wasn't current water so the cities were unhealthy places because

46
00:06:07,170 --> 00:06:15,910
people used to throw rubbish the streets and because of the decomposition of the

47
00:06:15,910 --> 00:06:24,629
rubbish used to be propagated and spread diseases and besides that who blacks

48
00:06:24,629 --> 00:06:35,970
were created as you can see there the dirty wash the dirty water was thrown by

49
00:06:35,970 --> 00:06:42,149
a window by everybody in the city so it was a dirty place totally completely

50
00:06:42,149 --> 00:06:48,930
dirty place so there was not so beautiful in the medieval ages in the

51
00:06:48,930 --> 00:07:01,860
But apart from that, one important factor in the cities was the artisans.

52
00:07:01,860 --> 00:07:11,920
The most of the citizens in a medieval burgh or city were dedicated to artisaning.

53
00:07:11,920 --> 00:07:18,079
And the artisans used to do several kinds of works or tasks.

54
00:07:18,079 --> 00:07:27,500
Like in this case you can see this is a shewer, un tejedor, or in this other case maybe you

55
00:07:27,500 --> 00:07:40,660
can see a man getting sharp the knife, it is sharpening the knife, un afilador, un acuchillador,

56
00:07:40,660 --> 00:07:44,670
etc.

57
00:07:44,670 --> 00:07:49,050
But the artisans were divided into three stages.

58
00:07:49,050 --> 00:07:57,870
The first stage were the apprentices, the people who had to learn from other people

59
00:07:57,870 --> 00:08:01,230
who were expertise in the tasks.

60
00:08:01,230 --> 00:08:12,329
Then there were the journeymen, people who used to work for the rest of the neighborhood,

61
00:08:12,329 --> 00:08:21,930
a journey, a complete day, were the workers indeed, the journeymen, and then the masters

62
00:08:21,930 --> 00:08:29,230
were those artisans who used to teach the apprentices and the journeymen.

63
00:08:29,230 --> 00:08:37,039
So there were three categories for the artisans.

64
00:08:37,039 --> 00:08:44,179
As you can see, the artisans used to compose the calling guilds, and what is an artisan

65
00:08:44,179 --> 00:08:52,899
guild is what we call un gremio de artesanos. Un gremio de artesanos used to be, an artisan

66
00:08:52,899 --> 00:09:01,340
guild used to be a neighborhood of the same kind of artisans. I don't know, shoemakers,

67
00:09:01,340 --> 00:09:15,399
I don't know, platters, sharpers, or I don't know, farmers, or maybe bakers, or any kind of job.

68
00:09:16,220 --> 00:09:25,860
So that means that the neighborhoods used to be inhabited or populated by shoemakers.

69
00:09:25,860 --> 00:09:35,519
the other neighborhood used to be made up by bakers or etc. etc. etc.

70
00:09:36,220 --> 00:09:40,879
¿Qué significa que cada... bueno, pues que cada barrio tenía un gremio de artesanos?

71
00:09:41,200 --> 00:09:45,659
Un gremio de artesanos dedicado a zapateros, otro gremio de artesanos dedicado a plateros,

72
00:09:45,659 --> 00:09:55,200
otro a panaderos, otro a carniceros... whatever, you know, each neighborhood had its own guild of artisans.

73
00:09:58,389 --> 00:10:18,590
One of the most famous was the Shoemakers Guild. Everybody used to use shoes. So Shoemakers had more work than the other guilds. And used to be the most famous guild in all the cities, in the medieval ages.

74
00:10:18,590 --> 00:10:30,409
ok more or less in a nutshell this is this is that the this is the way how it

75
00:10:30,409 --> 00:10:37,250
was the leaf in the medieval cities so now a you have to take into account the

76
00:10:37,250 --> 00:10:42,470
next day I'm going to ask to you about this video and we're going to work out

77
00:10:42,470 --> 00:10:43,450
the topic

78
00:10:43,450 --> 00:10:46,590
I have been talking about

79
00:10:46,590 --> 00:10:48,830
so see you next day

80
00:10:48,830 --> 00:10:49,289
goodbye
