We chose the three words: friar, compunction, and fetters from "The Canterbury Tales by Geoffrey Chaucer to define, using the Oxford Dictionary. 

The word friar in Middle English means "brother". But in modern times, it is translated as, "a member of any certain religious orders of men, especially the four mendicant orders" (oxforddictionaries.com). 

The word compunction in Middle English comes from Latin phrases meaning "prick sharply". The Oxford Dictionary translates it as as a "feeling of guilt or moral scruple that prevents or follows the doing of something bad". 

The word fretters in Old English is of German origin and relates to the Indo-European root 'foot'. The Oxford Dictionary translates this into: "a chain or manacle used to restrain a prisoner, typically placed around the ankles".

Canterbury Tales prologue translation

Its in England during April and there was a drought in March which made it hard to grow crops so then they soaked the crops in liquor. A lot of people are getting the flu. People are leaving England and going to Canterbury and from there they are joining the pilgrimage. Most of the people are martyrs and they are hoping that they get what they deserve on the pilgrimage.

What we gathered from the old English prolouge was that it takes place in April. I think that they are going to visit someone. It sounds like there will be some religious aspect because the prologue says something about a blissful holy martyr.

In the third picture, there is many poor people that seem to be getting whipped and beaten. Many people are watching and seem to be of the middle class. In the last picture there are two people who have the plague and one person, maybe a priest, who might be trying to cure them.

1st picture: very organized battle, medieval painting

2nd picture  less organized battle, still medieval but later

3rd picture renaissance, symactrical, punishments

4th picture plague, medieval oldest painting

Historical Context Analyzing Art

The first picture is a battle between what looks like Norway and Sweden. Their technology seems less advanced than the second picture of war which seems to be fought between two French sides that have a flag with the fleur de lis. The next two have people sick with the bubonic plague.

Historical Context Analysis Art

Robert Kramer Noah Schneider 

Nicole Dobbins Angelica Sevilla

In medieval era, France were fighting against the Charlemagne, use of crossbows and bows, use of Calvary, helmets but no shields, flags of different colors and countries, torture of men and women, beating and hanging people from trees, barren landscape, priest throwing dust into the air, boils on skin, man and woman laying in bed sick, red bed sheet, blue pillows, castles in background, flag bearers. 

Historical Context: Analyzing Art

The first picture is mid battle which you can tell because of the arrows in mid air. In all the pictures the background is blue so they are probably around the same era. The third picture is dark and is probably mid French Revolution because people are being publicly killed. In the first three pictures are war scenes with many people and have castles in the back ground so obviously is in the time of monarchs. The last picture is very different and it is about the bubonic plague with two people in bed and a priest trying to heal them.

Translating Canterbury tales prologue

The prologue begins in April, in England. The people are going on a march. The people thought alcohol would cleanse the plague from them. Zepherus, the west wind, carried the bubonic plague to the people. 

Ptolemy-Tracy Mahr -translation

Takes place in April. There is a lot of liquor. One character's name is Zepherus. He is young and happy. Everyone sleeps with one eye open. They go on pilgrimages across England to Canterbury when they are sick to seek help. 

Ptolemy - Vincent Vaishville, Muriah LIcea, James Brady, Emily 

This part takes place in March-April.  The people live in England, but are going on a pilgrimage to Cantebury.  They are seeking the hopeful saint because they are going through the Black Death.

Canterbury Tales Prologue Translation

It's April and there are showers (rain), Smelling air of April, Men sleep but aware of surroundings, Pilgrimages to help people, Something happened while he was on his voyage. 

It is April and it is about a man traveling talking about the people of his time.

The time in the book is spring. People go on pilgrimages to Canterbury. People are bathing and drinking like there's no tomorrow.

The Canterbury Tales Prologue

It is spring in England, people want to go on the pilgrimage, and it's leading to war possibly.

Historical Context Clues

There is war in each of these photos and another photo with the black plaque.  All of these photos are paintings which means it was a time period long ago without cameras.  We estimated around 1100.  The common elements in these photos are that there are wars.  It looks like there is a lot of conflict during this time period.

The first two images demonstrate conflicts between two armies each trying to claim land over the other more specifically a castle. In the third people suffering much like in a religious prejudice. The fourth image was what was assumed to be image of lepors  

Historical context: Analyzing Art

The first two pictures focus on the the time period of the One Hundred Year War in which the KingdomFrance and England fought over land areas in northern France. The first picture articulates the battle of which we think is or was Leon. In. Addition the picture bore a duller shade of paint than the second picture, which had vibrant colors. The third photo is a group of people being persecuted under English law. The final image speak the story of a deadly disease sweeping through Europe at the time. 

Ptolemy-Tracy, Mahr-analyzing art

The first two paintings are about the peasants revolt that happened in 1381. They were revolting the economic hardship from the Black Death. The middle one has a lot of torture. The last piece of art is about the black death.

Historical Context: Analyzing Art

The pictures were taken during the hundreds year war between France and England. One of the pictures demonstrates the affect the bubonic plague had on the people of that time period. Another picture showed how the fighting became a part of every day life. We assumed there was conflict between citizens not only between soldiers.

1st: about to start a battle between 2 similar kingdoms

2nd: big battle between 2 kingdoms

3rd: prisoners being punished

4th: people being cured of sickness by "magic"

These pictures show and overall negative tone. There is a lot of death and suffering involved in all four of them. The artist focus on the landscape's detail. These paintings were painted before crossbow were invented.

Our interpretation of the YouTube video was that there was a man at a pub surrounded by other pilgrims that are on their way to Canterbury from England.

Canterbury Tale's prologue translation

It takes place in April around spring time and when flowers are blooming. They're going to Canterbury which is a city in southern England to see the Martyr or something and it's a religious journey. It's 29 people at an inn drinking and conversing

It's the beginning of April and it is raining. Flowers are blooming. Zepherus is the god of wind. So it must be windy. The crops are young, the birds are singing, and its is peaceful. Folk people are going on a pilgrimage or a journey.

Story takes place story takes place in march during a drought and it's talking about a Knight. Possibly a farmer and maybe he is a drunk. He sleeps with open eyes so maybe he is a soldier. He is going from Canterbury to England. Possibly religious?

Canterbury Tales Prologue Translation

A boy is devoted to his pilgrimage and he heard music.  He was drinking too. This journey he takes is in Spring.  The setting is at a bar because their is music and he is drinking.  There are other men with him and they are together because they are on a pilgrimage together. It seemed like many people were involved and they were all depressed together. We learned that they are in England traveling to Canterbury where they will arrive in the Winter.

Fwd: Copernicus - Sprague, McDowell, Meyers, Jolly - Art Interpretation

All of these artworks take place in medieval times in Europe. This seems like a time of war and little peace or harmony. 

The first painting is of a war fought with archery. There is a castle in the background so this could be about conflicting kings or kingdoms. 

The second painting is of another battle or war fought with both swords and archery. This war is between England and France, possibly about kingdoms or land. 

The third painting is of many people taken as prisoners and tortured or harmed by some type of authority. The painting interprets the scene as chaotic and dark. 

The last painting is of the Bubonic Plague or "Black Death". These people are very sickly and will most likely die. They both have many pocks and are pale and seem to be unable to move. The doctor doesn't know what to do but to reach out spiritually, at least that's what the painting portrays.

Historical Context: Analyzing Art

In the first painting we noticed that the picture looked hand painted, and it looked like they were at war. We also noticed there were knights on horses, and arrows being flung from one side to the other. Neither side was advancing to each other, and it didn't look like there was an obvious victor.
In the next painting there were also knights on horses, but it looked much more physical. After more research we discovered that the battle was called The Hundred Years War and it was between the English and the French.
The third picture looked more religious. There were men whipping other men, and the town in the background looked dark and sad.
The last picture portraits a man and a woman with a sickness that looked like smallpox. The two were naked and there was what looked like a priest in the background. The priest looked like he was releasing something, and his hand pointed to the sky as if they are going to God. All the portraits looked painted by experienced artist.

Historical context: analyzing art

The time this set of paintings was referring to is the medieval times which is generally being based around the 1300's because the second painting is showing the war between the English and French during the 100's year war taking time and place during the medieval era. It ties to the last pairing because the bubonic plague (Black death) was massively spread all around of Europe and these two occurrences we're responsible for millions of lives lost and big population decrease. The third one is representing the third time period and is showing how public punishment was something very common
