How does this channel not have more views and subs? Such great content! People need to be more informed on the Middle Ages! Much better than the misinformation from channels like infographics.
I am a scholar of "School History in the Middle Ages", and I would like to point out that this video is absolutely accurate from a historical point of view. Well done!
13:50 music in the quadrivium is a quantitative subject. Boethius’s de Musica was a standard text used for ages. The subject wasn’t about learning to play music, but rather to understand what is mathematically and philosophically behind consonance and dissonance.
Your podcast has become one of the BEST sources of context while I try to survive an English Culture cource :D Sharing it with all the other poor souls in the classroom!
It is so expensive that parents don’t have to sacrifice anything. :D .Because it is so expensive that it become luxury, only the rich and noble can afford. It is not easy for common man to send his child to school.
To the best of my knowledge, more often than not you will find in history that they had more control than the pope. Remember that the pre-Schism papacy isn't a one-to-one correspondence with the post-Schism papacy, despite their many similarities. The Pope of Rome was one of-and the first in honor among-equals. The Pentarchy, the five Patriarchs of the Church: Rome, Constantinople, Alexandria, Antioch, and Jerusalem (in order of primacy). The pope was not _the_ Patriarch and sole head of the Church. But even at the height of the Papacy's temporal power in the High Middle Ages and Renaissance, post-Schism, there still was a great degree of liberty enjoyed by the nobility, aristocracy, and even clergy in such things. Indeed, it was this liberty that led to such as the Protestant Reformation. Similarly, pre-Schism, King St. Alfred the Great completely overhauled the educational system of Wessex for the betterment of his nobility, his clergy (including his bishops, who were appointed by the king, not the Pope, in Anglo-Saxon England), and also commoners who showed promise of intellect, as they would be provided a free education alongside the noble children and churchmen hopefuls. He did not seek the Pope's approval to do so because he did not need it. He did, however, seek the pope's (as well as many others') advice as to who the best scholars of his day were so that he could invite them to come and join his court to help carry out and oversee such efforts as administrators, translators (of which Alfred himself was one), and teachers. And before St. Alfred, Charlemagne had carried out an educational renaissance of his own in the Frankish empire-the Carolingian Renaissance. Charlemagne sought the best Latin scholar in the known world to be his own personal tutor, and Alcuin of York was recommended and took up the charge.
This is incorrect on so many levels it's hard to know where to start. Noblemen tried to have as many healthy children as possible. Every child was designated a particular role to increase the wealth and influence of the family, be it in war, matters of state, marriage alliance, church heirachy etc. I could go on for pages, but at 63, I've got better things to do.

Question: how expensive was education in monasteries and schools? Did parents have to sacrifice food or heat to send their children to schools?
It is so expensive that parents don’t have to sacrifice anything. :D .Because it is so expensive that it become luxury, only the rich and noble can afford. It is not easy for common man to send his child to school.
Just like today
This was very interesting, thanks!
Easier for all if you would be good enough to provide links in the description box.
Done - check out the show notes at www.medievalists.net/2019/09/education-in-the-middle-ages/
@@Medievalists Thank you, now a true, citable source; that essays and books can be written off of.
Very interesting!

Today's politicians and journalists could benefit from rhetoric and logic courses.

Thou art best advised not to enter thine schooling quarters on the ‘morrow.
Did the King and Queen have contributions or control on Medieval education? Or Just the Pope alone?
