eceptive women and profane speaking
As well as questioning the role of marriage, love, and the church
Believing that marriage was a business deal about personal gain, rather than a unity of true love Slide3
Introduction: Sailors tale
Loyalty upon marriage and brotherhood The commitment, vows, and oaths are questioned when the unity of a marriage comes to play The difference between a true friend and a convenient friend How far will an individual go when he/she needs something in their favor? When one doesn’t get enough attention, emotionally or financially, they tend to lie in order to get what they desire Greed, deception, lies, and no sense of conscience Piracy- the act of attacking shipping without the sanction of the government Slide4
Life of a pirate
Pirates have been around since 2000 B.C Most common pirates were the VikingsThey were usually looking for a better life at sea Some were from the lower classes and were forced to go by press gangs and pushed into the navy The press men would revolt and run away, then find themselves outlaws They turned piracy for military gold and wealth They often turned to piracy to survive, in search of riches or to just experience adventures
It was not like the movies, they lived a miserable life, they were often drunk and argued all the time Slide5Slide6
life of a pirate
They usually died of diseases or injuries, shot or left at sea. Others were captured and sentenced to death The quarter master was the most powerful person on board: He divided the stolen goods among the crew Was in charge of punishing those who didn’t obey Was elected by the crew They had very strict rules
Modern day pirates are very different from those of todaySlide7
Times during pirates
During the medieval times nations did not exist, people would switch from group to group Royalty would often travel by ship and pirates would attack the ships leaving them nowhere to escapeSince pirates would take over these ships, pirates “ruled” It wasn’t until 1228, England tried to execute a pirate During the 13th century ships started carrying armed men to fight off pirates King John of England enlisted pirates to raid French ships, but then the pirates not only raided the French but the English as well Slide8Slide9
Times during pirates
King John then went after the pirates’ leader, Eustace the Monk, but he fled to France and became a mercenary for King Philip II Merchants had to pay fees to Eustace or he would attack their ships England had a civil war in which Eustace supported the rebels, but the English admiral caught and executed Eustace Teutonic Knights, Queen Margaret I of Denmark, and Mecklenberg made pirates sign a treat where they couldn’t be on certain lands. Once treated was signed, merchant ships were raided Konrad von Jungingen, Grand Master of the Teutonic Knights, gathered groups of men to fight the pirates, and majority of the ones who were not killed, had no business afterwards Slide10
Role of a pirate
Piracy played a huge role Reason was due to medieval monarchs not having the resources to support a standing army or navy Most of the famous pirates were the Vikings Pirates acted as resistance to expanding empires threatening their homeland These groups were however unorganized, they were more interested in plundering the ships than supplying the settlers Slide11Slide12
Role of a pirate
Many of the European ships mainly targeted Spanish ships, bringing gold from the new world Government would hire pirates to perform piracy task, then known as privateers, acting under the sanction of the government During the time of peace however, thousands of pirates were left jobless due to the lack of needing to attack opposing empires/ships Piracy used to supply Hispaniola (Dominican republic) for resources, the island was mixed with French, Spanish, and English after a treaty was signed to cooperate Majority of the pirates only participated in piracy to provide for an honest living Slide13
Conclusion
Over all Chaucer didn’t characterize an actual pirate in the Canterbury Tales, instead he just explained and demonstrated personality, traits, and characteristics of the idea of a pirate and demonstrate the struggles of life that they faced during the medieval times. Slide14
