When and how did the gothic tradition begin?
The Gothic tradition began in the mid-12th century in France, primarily as an architectural style characterized by pointed arches, ribbed vaults, and flying buttresses, exemplified by cathedrals like Notre-Dame. This architectural movement evolved into a broader cultural phenomenon, influencing literature, art, and music, especially during the late 18th and 19th centuries. In literature, the Gothic genre emerged with works like Horace Walpole's "The Castle of Otranto" (1764), which featured supernatural elements and eerie settings, laying the groundwork for later authors such as Edgar Allan Poe and Mary Shelley. The Gothic tradition continues to resonate in modern storytelling, emphasizing themes of horror, mystery, and the macabre.

How did the medieval titles of nobility develop?
Originally, the titles of monarchs were emperor or king. There was the title of duke, which was applied to a powerful warlord governing a large territory. There were princes, and some of these were not sons of kings, but the term was never clearly defined, except as applied to the son of a king. There were counts. The term originally meant companion of the monarch, but came to mean a military leader for a district, or, in some places, it was just a military rank below general. These were the ranks at the beginning of the Middle Ages. Development after that varied a bit from place to place, but was overall rather uniform. Taking England as an example, the person at the top of the feudal pyramid was always a king. But sometimes there were lesser kings below the chief king. These lesser kings, who we might call viceroys, were not uncommon among the Anglo-Saxons. This same thing was occasionally done later; for example, Prince Henry, the son of King Henry II of England, was crowned King of England before his father died, and without his father stepping down. Since the young King Henry died before his father, he usually does not appear in lists of English kings. The Anglo-Saxons had earls (equivalent of counts), but did not seem to have much in the way of knights. Their army at Hastings was entirely composed of infantry. The rank of yeoman existed among them, though not by that name, and was for a man who was a small landholder who would also be a soldier. The yeoman was above a freeman in rank, who was, in turn, above a serf. Not considered members of the nobility of the time, land owners could be by later standards, when the term nobility came to include landed gentry of rank below knights. When the Normans invaded, their most important soldiers were knights. William the Conqueror retained the title of earl for the people who were given counties to govern, and always had a large number of knights to fight the rebellions that arose. He also introduced the new title of baron, which indicated a hereditary governor of a territory smaller than a county. So the feudal pyramid under William looked like this:King Earl Baron Knight yeoman tenant farmer or freeman serf slave Later, in 1301, Edward I made his son Prince of Wales, formalizing that title as having meaning beyond simply meaning son of a king. Starting in 1328, the hereditary title of baronet was created for people below the rank of baron, but not necessarily knights, whose rank was never hereditary in England. In 1337, dukes were created, ostensibly as powerful military leaders above the rank of Earl. (The rank of marquess was created after the Middle Ages for people of rank between duke and earl.) In 1440, the rank of viscount was created, indicating a person between the ranks of earl and baron. Meantime, slaves had long since disappeared, and serfs were pretty much gone as well, so the class structure looked like this (ignoring the middle class): King Prince Duke Earl Viscount Baron Baronet Knight untitled landed gentry tenant farmers laborers The titles duke, earl, viscount, and baron were for people called peers, who were qualified to be members of the House of Lords. The baronets and knights were not so qualified, but were considered to be members of the nobility, as were, with time, the landed gentry. Since anyone who was neither a member of the royalty nor a peer was a commoner, the lesser nobility were also commoners. I should point out that the middle class is not part of the scheme. People who owned businesses were technically of the same rank as tenant farmers, but some of them had the wealth of high nobility. Also, a person could have more than one title. So it was possible for a king also to be a vassal of another king because of a lesser title for land in a different country. The kings of England were vassals of the kings of France for centuries, because the kings of England were also dukes of Normandy and Aquitaine. The current Queen of England continues to bear the title of Duke of Normandy, though the territory of the Duchy of Normandy as been reduced to the Channel Islands. In England, as in most other countries, all of these titles had female equivalents, and women could hold title in their own rights. Most of these are pretty obvious, but a couple were not. The title of countess was the female equivalent of an earl. The female equivalent of knight was usually dame, as opposed to the title for a woman who was the wife of a knight, whose title was lady. The exception to this was for the Order of the Garter, which used lady instead of dame. For more information, please use the link below.
What is a medieval baron?
The Baron and/or Baroness' prime responsibilities are: * To serve as the Crown's representative to the Barony, and as the Barony's representative to the Crown. They attend Noble Estate meetings at Crown events, and otherwise maintain contact with the King and Queen so Their Majesties' needs and desires can be communicated to the populace of the Barony. The Baron and Baroness communicate the needs of the Barony to Their Majesties through regular reports, and bring the deeds of deserving individuals to Their Majesties' attention so they can be recognized with Kingdom level awards. * To serve as the ceremonial head of the group. This includes holding courts, leading the populace in toasts to the Crown, and other ceremonial tasks which provide a sense of medieval pageantry to an event. The Baron and Baroness also recognize excellence with awards, and honor effort with public recognition and with thanks. * To serve as a symbol of the ideals of the group, and lead through example. This includes fostering the arts and sciences through sponsoring and entering contests, encouraging a period atmosphere by remaining aware of their own appearance and actions, and motivating volunteers by jumping in themselves to get tasks done. * To create a welcoming and open attitude within the Barony. A friendly greeting from the Baron and Baroness can go a long way toward making a newcomer feel welcome and accepted within the group. They can also help the person become integrated into the group by introducing them to gentles with similar interests. (Helpful Hint: Newcomers are encouraged to approach the Baron and Baroness and introduce themselves!) In large Baronies, the Baron and Baroness may also work to encourage interaction amongst different sub-groups of the Barony, keeping them connected as a whole unit made up of diverse parts. * To attend to the long-term health of the Barony. They are charged with long-term planning, with keeping an eye to the general mood of the group, and with working to make the Barony what the populace wants it to be. They also serve as mediators in conflicts, ensuring that a working solution is found. * To serve as Ambassadors for the Barony, representing it in the eyes of the Kingdom at large. They support neighboring groups by attending events, attend kingdom events, and conduct all dealings with an awareness that they play a big part in establishing the image of their Barony in the eyes of others. * To be a source of information. Barons and Baronesses often serve as an information hub, and need to know a wide variety of information about upcoming activities and events, both locally and Kingdom-wide. They also should be well-rounded S.C.A. participants so they can answer a wide variety of questions, and know whom to refer people to for more information. * To work with the seneschal and other officers of the Barony to ensure the smooth running of affairs. In most groups, the seneschal is responsible for the mundane business of the group, and the day-to-day functions of event planning and officer duties. The Baron and Baroness oversee this, provide advice and input, and make the decisions that affect the long-term functioning of the group.
