Throughout the readings, it seemed as if the things happening on the battlefields, the King's "palace", and the churches are more significant than others, as they are where more of the events happen. I wonder if it is because it is Gregory, a devoted christian, who is writing, that made everything about the churches and religion so important. I understand how the King and the Bishop have strong roles in the society, but, do people who are not as well-read and well-off care so much about the upperclass? ie.) When the famine occured, would the poor worry about the power struggles or just the limited source of food they have. Unfortunately, I would not know how more people there are suffering in the lower class than the upper class.
Happy V-Day.
