Question 01 - UTFPR 2007 - Summer - “The process of gestation of Feudalism was quite long, going back to the Roman crisis of the 3rd century, passing through the constitution of the Germanic kingdoms in the 5th-6th centuries and the problems of the Carolingian Empire in the 9th century, to finally conclude at the end of that century or beginnings of the X.”

Question 03 - FATEC - 2015/2 - Read an excerpt from one of the versions of the legend O País da Cocanha, widespread among medieval peasants.
Welcome to Cocanha, which no other land can match. Here good things abound, without anyone needing to sow in order to reap. There is never winter or frost, never drought or hunger. And no lord comes to rob our barns or devastate our crops. Come, you will be my guest! (MASSARDIER, G. Tales and legends from medieval Europe São Paulo:Companhia das Letras. 2002. pp.27 35.)
Dreaming of a place where there was plenty of food, these workers expressed a constant concern in their lives:hunger. About the conditions of production and distribution of food in the High Middle Ages, it is correct to say that
a) European peasants had little disposition for manual work, preferring the collection of low wild fruits, which resulted in low agricultural productivity and the consequent fear of famine.
b) the fear of famine was constant, because European soils were unsuitable for the cultivation of agricultural products, which forced medieval man to adopt a diet based on the consumption of game meat. which, in turn, was rare.
c) hunger, in the High Middle Ages, was caused by the religious fervor of the peasants, who, encouraged by the authorities of the Catholic Church, adopted fasting and self-flagellation as a form of sacrifice in exchange for the salvation of their souls.
d) the development of extensive monoculture of sugarcane in medieval Europe occupied all productive lands, and peasants did not have land where they could work in subsistence crops. e) Medieval peasants were subject to famine because the cold and wet climate, floods and precarious equipment made it difficult to grow grain and, in addition, they had to hand over part of the production to landlords, as payment of taxes.

To our very dear friend, the glorious Count Hatton, Eginhardo, eternal greetings from the Lord. One of your servants, named Hun, came to the church of the holy martyrs Marcellin and Peter to ask for mercy* for the fault he committed in contracting marriage without your consent [...]. We come, therefore, to ask your kindness, that you may be lenient towards this man on our behalf, if you think that his fault can be forgiven. I wish you good health with the grace of the Lord. (Letters by Eginhardo. Translation by Ricardo da Costa. Extracts from medieval documents on the peasantry (5th-15th centuries).

Question 05 - CEPERJ - 2013 - SEDUC-RJ - There was, at the beginning of the High Middle Ages, an important change in the social and educational history of the West. This change made a new space for spiritual and cultural formation fixed, which ended up giving rise to a characteristic model of Christian culture, which, at the same time, became heir to the classical tradition and stimulator of solitary reflection and reading. Roughly speaking, we can say that a first model of “Christian school” emerges, with initiatives such as those of Benedict of Nursia (480-547). It is a reference to the following historical event:
