What is the time period known as the Age of Enlightenment?
Most consider the Age of Enlightenment to have ended with the start of the French Revolution in 1789. For more than a century before that the discoveries of scientists, such as Galileo, and ideas of philosophers, such as Rene Descartes, had led people into a rejection of the automatic respect for kings and the Christian priesthood that had been common in Europe during and since the Middle Ages. All nations contributed to the Enlightenment agenda, but the French led the way during the 18th century. The writings of Denis Diderot, Voltaire and D'Alembert, all French, provided the material for the supporters of the Enlightenment to take the argument to the traditionalists. These writers lived in the reign of King Louis the Fifteenth of France (1715-1774).

Who was a medieval composer?
One of the earliest composers whose music we have was Hildegard of Bingen. She wrote a play, composed music for it, and wrote the music down in a notation we can read, so the play can still be performed. Leonin and Perotin were early French composers of polyphonic music. Wolfram von Eschenbach and Walter von der Vogelweide were composers in the tradition of the minnesinger. King Denis of Portugal was a troubadour, who wrote many songs. Of these, we have the lyrics for 137, and the music for a very few.
What did a vassal wear in medieval times?
n a fully developed vassalage, the lord and the vassal would undertake a commendation ceremony, composed of two parts: the homage and the fealty, including the use of Christian sacraments, to show its importance. Such refinements were not included from the outset, however: according to Eginhard's brief description, the commendatio made to Pippin in 757 by Tassillo, duke of Bavaria, involved the relics of Saint Denis, Saint Rusticus and Saint Éleuthère, Saint Martin and Saint Germain, which had apparently been assembled at Compiègne for the event [1].Feudal society was increasingly based on the concept of "lordship"- in French the seigneur- which was one of the distinguishing features of the Early Middle Ages which evolved out of Late Antiquity.[4]In Charlemagne's time, the connection slowly developed between vassalage and the grant of land, the main form of capital at that time: contemporaneous social developments included agricultural "manorialism" and the social and legal structures labelled- but only since the 18th century- "feudalism". These developments proceeded at different rates in various regions. In Merovingian times, only the greatest and most trusted vassals would be rewarded with lands. Even at the most extreme devolution of any remnants of central power, in 10th century France, the majority of vassals still had no fixed estate (Ganshof 1964).The stratification of a fighting band of vassals into an upper group composed of great territorial magnates, strong enough to ensure the inheritance of their benefice to the heirs of their family, and a lower group of landless knights attached to a "count" or "duke", might roughly be correlated with the new term "fief" that was superseding "benefice" in the 9th century. The social settling out process also received impetus in fundamental changes in conducting warfare. The example of the Huns resulted in the supersession in the Romanised world of disorganised infantry by cavalry, armies became more expensive to maintain. A vassal needed economic resources to equip the cavalry he was bound to contribute to his lord to fight his frequent wars. Such resources, in the absence of a money economy, was only to be found in land and its associated assets, which included peasants, as well as wood and water.Mongol vassalageThe Mongols during the Mongol Empire period created vassal states out of cities they wanted to conquer. A chance of a city and country becoming a vassal was more possible if the city surrendered to the Mongols beforehand. Then they would be required to send tribute and goods to the Mongols to show their submission. If a city resisted, the chance of becoming a vassal was much reduced and would result in the Mongols destroying much of the city. Also some cities surrendered beforehand and pledged to give tribute in order to not fight war with the Mongols. The Mongols would also install ambassadors and tribute collectors in the city to collect the tributes in a timely fashion. If the tributes stopped or didn't arrive in the agreed to timeframe, the Mongols would attack.
