What do you mean by "proper?"

Yeah it would have been a violation, but do you really think that most people would have cared? They probably figured that they could just go to confession or have a priest say a few masses for them after they died or have someone pay for an indulgence for them or something to make up for their unchastity.

>>1317788
Violations of chastity were reserved for proper girls of good bearing. They didn't much apply to prostitutes like the witness in that case. The question was more 'how to make sure prostitutes didn't infiltrate proper society' and less 'how to make them chaste.'

>>1317888
The text doesn't really mention that these women were prostitutes though.

Spanish native speaker here (not so good with English though so I'll try my best to explain myself).

If you say "gente independiente" it feels more like you're talking about a group of individuals who are (individually) independent.
However when you say "pueblo independiente", now you're bringing in the cultural thing. A group of people who are part of the same nation (and not just the same state) or share the same culture.
For example:
"En este barrio vive mucha gente gitana" -> "In this neighbourhood there live a lot of gypsy people"
"El pueblo gitano" -> "The gypsy people"
In the second sentence you're talking about the whole gypsy ethnicity, across all states.

You can say "¡Poder para la gente!" and also "¡Poder para el pueblo!" both meaning something like "Power to the people!".
"Gente" is ambiguous. Both the worker from a factory and a banker are "gente". But "pueblo" is more often used for the proletariat. That's why "gente" has been lately used in Spain by social democrat parties like Podemos, while "pueblo" has always been a term used by Communists and Anarchists.

By the way, "pueblo" can also mean just "village".

I hope I made myself clear, I'm not very good at explaining myself, let alone in English. If you have any other question ask away.

>>1317572
Do you speak spanish, OP? The definitions in the RAE might be useful for you.

The other anon more or less explained it well, but I'll try to do it myself too. They both are people but, like people, they both have different definitions.

"Gente" is basically just a bunch of individuals. It's a countless word that has no plural (normally) but it basically works as a plural of "person".

Pueblo is way more specific. El pueblo is "the people" as in the lower/working classes or in general the population of a place. You can say "el pueblo ha hablado" for example when there are elections or a referendum. You could say "la gente ha hablado" too, but you're not giving it the same importance.

Probably related to that, pueblo/s can also mean the people of a country. It's basically synonymous with country, nation or ethnicity. This is the meaning it has in this context of your sentence.

Also like the other anon said pueblo means small urban place, village or town.

How can you be an immigrant and be born here?

>>1317584

I should have said "Every person with an immigrant background".
I'm a European. Because those fuckers don't adapt, we still consider them immigrants, because they might as well have arrived a week ago.

Pretty sure if they didnt learn english the locals would start harassing them. For example Finnish imigrants to America got some shit thrown at them for being slow to learn english.

Italy remained somewhat urban during the Middle Ages, what with being the centre of the former Roman Empire and all, and cities = trade.

>>1317549
Ships sink, prices change, the power a Merchant held was always in flux and they depended on cooperation with merchants and principalities for security.

However a landowner was a military power and had complete control of life and death over everyone on their land, they were a class above a merchant. To gain notoriety like the Borgias they needed control over a state.

>>1317549

The ruling elite always try to keep themselves in power and potential rivals in check. This is why feudal societies-- where the elite are a rural warrior class-- treats merchants as beneath contempt,and also why modern liberal capitalist societies treat aristocrats as irrelevant and inherently morally bankrupt.

>>1317405
No.

>>1317433
Why?

>>1317441
Because it was made for a meme tournament and no one here can /gd/

Significant in what way?

Any?

If so, I'd say Napoleon Bonaparte.

>>1317359
Hegel or Napoleon
But if you think about it, the starting and ending of centuries is completely arbitrary and that means that a person who was important in 1803 is far more influential than someone important in 1899.

>>1317359
probably napoleon. honestly, I'd put lincoln forward, just because he held the states together. that sort of set the stage for US becoming a superpower. or maybe TR. I'd be interested in figures from other countries that did similar things.

>>1317186
I thought medieval 2 had background info on all units? maybe read the description in game and google what they put down.

>>1317186
Vanilla Medieval Total War is less historically accurate than the Patriot, you know this right?

Download a mod if you're looking for something a bit more accurate. They also tend to include historic information in the unit descriptions.

>>1317186
A lot of medieval 2 total war stuff were based on stereotypes more so than actual history,the whole voice lines of the muslim factions were a prime example of this.

Are you arguing against Catholics or critics of Catholicism?
Sorry

>>1316980
Jesus founded a Church, he didnt write a book. The Church made the bible and decided in councils which books belong to it..

>taking Christianity seriously

kek

Anyone?

>>1316826
The u.k would have to be neutral our allied with the central powers for that to have happened

>>1316826
US would be unlikely to ally with some random mainland European power as the did stay out of European political affairs, however if we just assumed that the UK didn't intervene, that the "scrap of paper" really was just a scrap of paper, then via the Schlieffen-Plan first France and then Russia would have been easily beaten by Germany and AH.
The Central Powers would have created "Mitteleuropa" a EU-esque conglomeration of newly created states in Eastern Europe and the Caucasus (United Baltic Duchy, Lithuania, Poland, Ukraine, Belarus etc) which all would have been economically dependent on Germany

>>1316883
I'm under the assumption that Germany could've tore threw the french forts as easily as they did the Belgian forts t bh

South Africa had shit to give them.

>>1316716
South Africa didn't actively try to piss off Britain.

>>1316730
but making minority rule in Rhodeisa fall helped destabilizing south africa. There is no way they didn't expect that to happen
>>1316739
Please explain

The Indian emperor concluded a peace treaty which involved giving the king several hundred Indian war elephants which were used to great effect throughout the west.

They dominated huge swathes of the middle east and Western Asia, having an empire stretching from the highlands of Anatolia to the fertile Indo-Gangetic plains. Toward the end of their Dynasty (150 BCE - 63 BCE) they were driven back by the expanding Parthian Empire, before finally being absorbed by the Roman Republic.

Islam was constantly trying to get into India, and usually losing.

The Moguls conquered India, but all it amounted to is a small minority of Muslims in India that get shit on by everyone else.

Most of the countries that went hard Buddhist were physically separated from the Arab world by India and the Himalayas, but Arab traders brought Islam to southeast Asia.

Traditionally, Islam in Southeast Asia has been a milder, more tolerant variant, but Saudi funded madrassas have started to change that over the last generation.

>was constantly trying to get into India, and usually losing.
What is the Mughal empire? What is the modern Indian Muslim minority?

>>1316608
India was conquered, but it didn't convert.

Hindu game too strong.

No, she was relevant because her brother killed Pompey.

first Ptolemy to learn fluent Egyptian

>>1316532

This 2bqh. She was a pretty interesting character on her own. But sure, she wouldn't be a household name if not for her role in the lives of Romans.

I'm okay with this

So, when it is said that God is merciful, what they actually mean is that God is evil and unfairly rewards sinners over the pious? Is that what the parable of the Prodigal Son is really about?

>>1316506
So says the book.
