§ 12. Political fragmentation in Rus'
§ 12. Political fragmentation in Rus'
Question to point 1. What important events took place in the XI-XII centuries. in Germany, France, England?
In Western Europe, including France and Germany, feudal fragmentation began during this period. In England it was not fully there, but periodically there were wars between pretenders to the throne with both candidates relying on the largest feudal lords of the kingdom.
Question to point 2. What reasons, besides the dominance of subsistence farming, existed for the onset of a period of fragmentation in Western Europe?
Other reasons:
- the territories of large feudal lords became economically independent;
- royal power weakened;
- fragmentation was to the advantage of the Catholic Church, because it could play on the struggle of feudal lords with each other;
- trade ties between regions have weakened;
- The layer of knights, who grew rich from military spoils, strengthened.
What rights did large feudal lords have in their domains in Western Europe?
On their lands, feudal lords owned all the land, and in the High Middle Ages, they also owned the peasants who depended on them. They had the right to the results of the peasants' duties, could even sell them themselves, disposed of their property, had judicial power over the peasants and recruited their military detachments from them.
In your opinion, can an individual family live in a subsistence economy in our time?
A family can live in primitive conditions, and then live in isolation. This is how the Lykovs lived back in the 1970s.
But a modern person must buy almost everything. The same TV cannot be made at home.
What role did the Catholic Church play in Western Europe during the period of fragmentation?
During the period of fragmentation, the Catholic Church was the strongest political player and fought on equal terms with the strongest monarchs. At the same time, she often acted as an arbiter in disputes between feudal lords. The church's attempt to stop the wars between feudal lords is interesting, but not the fragmentation itself: the Pope intended to direct the military fervor of the knights against the Muslims, calling for the First Crusade.
Question for point 5. What was the role of the steppe inhabitants in the collapse of the Old Russian state?
The steppe inhabitants accelerated the collapse of the state, because in many strife they took the side of one or another prince. But they did not cause fragmentation: wars between the princes began without their participation, they only took advantage of the situation, ruining the Russian lands.
Questions for the paragraph
What connection existed between the economic development of individual lands and political fragmentation?
The cities grew richer, each of the large specific centers was able to exist independently, some even tried to surpass the capital. This helped the beginning of fragmentation, because many cities, and therefore principalities, could economically exist separately and did not need a single state.
What were the political reasons for the fragmentation of the Old Russian state?
Political reasons:
- after the congress of princes in Lyubech in 1097, the ladder system was abandoned; now each prince received part of his father’s land, therefore he did not care about the unity of the state, which he now had no chance to lead, but about the prosperity and independence of his inheritance;
- The boyars were now getting rich not at the expense of part of the tribute to the prince, but at the expense of their estates, and therefore they also only cared about the prosperity and independence of the estate in which the estates were located.
What do you think, which segments of the population and why were interested in liberating their lands from the power of Kyiv?
- For independence from Kyiv there were local princes, who thanks to this became independent rulers.
- Thanks to their independence, the boyars fought only for the interests of their principality, and not of distant Kyiv, they cared about the interests of this inheritance, along with which their estates grew rich.
- There were also townspeople in favor of independence, who benefited from a prince who protected only their interests.
- Only traders were against the formation of new borders, but with the weakening of trade routes they turned out to be weak.
- The peasants basically didn't care.
Select quotes from the text of the paragraph that confirm the creation of conditions for fragmentation in Rus'.
“The order of land ownership has changed.” “...princes and warriors lost the opportunity to enrich themselves through overseas trade.” “Trade between different parts of Rus' was poorly developed and irregular.” “Each land had its own veche, had its own elected government, its own people’s militia.”
What prevented the complete collapse of Rus'?
The idea of a unified Russian land continued to exist, many cultural figures called again for unity.
In addition, a single nationality continued to exist. The language remained unified, although the dialects differed more and more and over time could become separate languages. The customs remained similar, although they gradually diverged more and more from principality to principality.
What historical events are associated with the creation of “The Tale of Igor’s Campaign”?
“The Word...” describes the campaign of the Novgorod-Seversk prince Igor Svyatoslavich against the Polovtsians, undertaken with small forces in 1185.
How did public administration change in Rus' during the period of fragmentation?
The unified management system of the Old Russian state practically disappeared, but local systems largely copied it. Each appanage principality had its own prince, who relied on the squad and at the same time was forced to take into account its opinion (especially the opinion of the senior warriors - the boyars), as well as the city council.
We think, compare, reflect:
Do you think that political and trade ties between Rus' and other countries accelerated or slowed down its disintegration into separate lands? Explain your point of view.
In conditions of weakening trade along the main routes through the Dnieper and Volga, each appanage prince had his own trade and dynastic ties. This means that they were part of those very separate interests of each principality, concern for which accelerated the onset of fragmentation.
Compare the system of government of the principalities during the period of fragmentation with the system of government during the reign of Vladimir Monomakh in Kyiv.
The system of governing the principalities during the period of fragmentation basically repeated the system of governing Kiev during the reign of Vladimir Monomakh, although many lands had their own peculiarities.
Find out the role of the Church in maintaining the desire to restore unity in Rus' and in the countries of Western Europe.
The Church remained united, under the control of one metropolitan. Therefore, she encouraged the desire for unity. In addition, the church has traditionally opposed wars between Orthodox Christians. Many calls to stop strife came from church writers.
But the church did not have exactly such a role everywhere. For example, in Novgorod, the archbishop was elected by the veche, because he was more concerned about the orders of his voters, and not the metropolitan, because this archbishop was most often a champion of the independence of Novgorod, and not the subordination of this very Novgorod to Kyiv.
Was it possible, in your opinion, to prevent the onset of a period of fragmentation in Rus'? Explain your opinion.
Everything that led to fragmentation was not a conscious choice of people. They acted the way they did. And even the princes could not help but distribute lands to their sons, because this is how the worldview of themselves, their sons and their subjects was built. Therefore, fragmentation could hardly be prevented.
