Chivalry did not include the way knights treated peasants
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

Chivalry, a code of conduct followed by knights in medieval times, did not include guidelines on how knights should treat peasants. Chivalry mainly focused on ideals such as honor, bravery, loyalty, and respect towards fellow knights and the nobility. Peasants were considered lower class and were not given the same level of consideration as the nobility. Therefore, the statement that chivalry did not include the way knights treated peasants is true.

Which of the following was NOT a duty of a noble woman
- Raising a large family
- Teaching children to read and write
- Doing spinning, weaving and cooking

Correct Answer

A. Ruling a fief

Explanation

A noble woman in medieval times had various responsibilities, such as raising a large family, teaching children to read and write, and doing spinning, weaving, and cooking. However, ruling a fief was not one of her duties. The ruling of a fief was typically reserved for noble men, as it involved political and military leadership.

Troubadours wrote _ _ _ _ _ about noble women

Correct Answer
poems
poem
songs
song

Explanation
The correct answer is "poems, poem, songs, song" because troubadours were medieval poets and musicians who composed and performed works of poetry and songs. Their compositions often revolved around themes of courtly love and chivalry, and they frequently wrote about noble women. The use of both the plural and singular forms of "poem" and "song" in the answer options accounts for the fact that troubadours would write multiple poems and songs about noble women.

Noble women had to bear many children
- True
- False
Correct Answer

A. True

Explanation

In the past, noble women were expected to bear many children as it was seen as their duty to continue the family line and ensure the succession. This was particularly important for noble families who needed heirs to inherit titles, land, and wealth. Additionally, having many children was also a way to strengthen political alliances through arranged marriages. Therefore, it can be inferred that noble women had to bear many children.
