Fighting between families extended to friends and other citizens.Soon everyone was somehow entangled in this 50-year brawl, which split the city-state of Florence. Citizens would line up on opposite sides of the street.Then they would meet in the middle to fight one another in the name of Cerchi or Donati. Please research both families and post your findings.

ReplyDeleteVery little is recorded about the Cerchi family, but the Donati reputation survives. The Donatis were known to be arrogant, powerful, reckless, yet courageous Florentine nobles. They were most powerful during the 1200s and 1300s, when Corso Donati ruled Florence. However, he became obsessed with losing power and grew suspicious of nearly everyone. Consequently, he started fighting with members of his own class. In 1299, he was banished from the city for disregarding the laws of the city-state. But he broke his banishment and forced his way back into the city. Then he ransacked his enemies’ houses, freed his supporters from prisons, and set up his own government. His reign was brief as his quick temper and irrational behavior turned supporters, or Guelphs, against him. Eventually, he was killed in a second attempt to cause rebellion. http://ela9honors.wikispaces.com/file/view/The+Cerchi+and+Donati+Feud.doc
ReplyDeleteViolence occurred everyday in Italy . Family feuds were a typical thing in Italy just like the capulets and montagues . The Cerchi was whites who supported the Italian empire and the donati's were blacks who favorited independent city states . This all occurred like in the 1300's .
ReplyDeleteThey all hate each other and it's like Romeo and Juliet . "Around the year 1300, a feud broke out between the Cerchi and Donati families in Florence, Italy" http://ela9honors.wikispaces.com/file/view/The+Cerchi+and+Donati+Feud.doc

It inspiring because in the book Romeo and Juliet their are two gangs that are against eachother the montagues and capilets and they were in spirited by Donati and Cerchi . In both in the past and the book started fight for no reason and no one knows or remember why.
ReplyDeleteThe Donati was know as powerful and reckless. There was very little recorded about the Cerchi. The Donatis were the most powerful during the 1200 and 1300's when Corso Donati ruled Florence. But he became obsessed with power and started getting suspicious of everyone. He even fought with his own family. He was banished from the city in 1299, but he came back and freed his supporters from prisons.(http://ela9honors.wikispaces.com/file/view/The+Cerchi+and+Donati+Feud.doc)(karissa and Jessica)

ReplyDeletehttp://www.britannica.com/EBchecked/topic/103246/Vieri-dei-Cerchi
ENCYCLOP AE DIA BRITANNICA
The Florentine banking family of the Cerchi, minor nobles of the Valdarno, with a seat especially at Acone near Pontassieve, settled in Florence in the early thirteenth century and increased their fortunes. The family became the heads of a consortium of the prominent Guelfs that securely controlled Florence after the battle of Benevento in 1266. In Florence, the Cerchi purchased some of the ancient structures in the closely packed inner city formerly belonging to the counts Guidi, cheek-by-jowl with the proud Florentine family of the Donati, with whom their growing mutual antagonism was expressed in violent episodes that polarized Florence within a couple of decades in a virtual civil war that aligned behind two captains, Corso Donati of the Neri Guelf faction— the "Black" Guelfs of the old noble oligarchy— and Vieri de' Cerchi of the Bianchi, the moderate party that represented itself as champions of working people (the magri). The resulting violence lasted, with irruptions of tranquility, into the fourteenth century.

ReplyDeleteThe fighting between the families began in the 1300 era and lasted for at least 50 years but the feude seperated the city. It was almost like segregation because blacks believed in a independent city and the whites did not. Creighton Ubides Anastacio Fuerte Daniel kittinger
ReplyDeleteIn the 13th century people were forced to join the Donatis and if not the Cerchi. If you did not join any of those groups you were considered to be a weak person. If you were apart of any of those groups and someone dishonored the group you were forced to defend your group and fight for it.

Society in Elizabethan England was changing and the number of poor people living in abject poverty was increasing. A series of laws was introduced by the English Parliament in 1563, 1572, 1576, 1597 culminating in the 1601 Poor Law. Views on the poor changed throughout this period beginning with a harsh attitude towards the poor but easing towards a more compassionate approach. There were a number of reasons for the poverty and the increasing numbers of the poor in Elizabethan England, some of the reasons dated back to before the reign of Queen Elizabeth. http://www.elizabethan-era.org.uk/the-poor-law.htm
ReplyDeleteServants, lady in waiting, wives, concubine, bar maids, farm hands, nuns, the list can go on. Basically they where oppressed".
ReplyDeleteBy Reynaldo zarate and Joselyn Rodriguez
Education: Women were unable to attend school or universities to have access to proper education. However they were allowed to have private tutors. This still allowed them to become highly educated, as seen with Queen Elizabeth herself. In most occurrences it would be the man that would teach his wife to read and write.

She could work at court or could help in business or cook or clean the house hold and she could make clothes weaving and taking care of little animals each class hade different jobs they could do what ever Job they hade so Juliet can do all those jobs and not be on the street. Posted by Paige and bailey
ReplyDeleteWomen in the Elizabethan era could get a job as a servant or nurse. Some women from rich families could sometimes get an education. Lower class women were supposed to be dependent to the males to support them. Lower class women were not supposed to go to any university. When lower class 12 they were supposed to be married.
ReplyDelete(Karissa and Jessica)
In England the society was very poor and the best thing that women can do is work hard labor to be able to live in England. The women could not go to any kind of education like schools or collages. So the only thing the women can do is be maids or be married or other small jobs. Jacob martindale,Mercedes angel
ReplyDeleteIn elizabethan era the jobs that were available for women were making clothes .

After marriage the bride would take care of households and the children. Before the bride had a baby they would make arrangements so when the bride died some one would take care of the baby. Women were not suppose to be educated in this time. If women were educated they would of been wealthy. When girls turn 12 they have to get married .
ReplyDeleteYoung women had to clean around the house. They have to look after animals. They had cook as well.

Young women jobs were to be a maid such as cleaning the house and watching the animals in the elizebethian era There was nothing for the government to do for the people.
ReplyDeleteWomen who were married were still expected to do the same duties that they usually do. They were expected to cook, clean, and garden unless you were wealthy. If you were wealthy you were expected to just look beautiful at all times.
ReplyDeleteThey Started Cleaning Other People's Houses And Help them with stuff.
ReplyDeleteUnmarried women in different social classes where treated differently. Women during this time where taught to believe that men where inferior to them. Commerce women would not have attend school.
ReplyDeleteA women had to be a proper women in order to be able to have a job in the world back then. They had to cook and clean like a house wife almost but it was still a harsh job to do. Daniel kittinger
