One question, as this is Birmingham ca. 1300, it was mentioned that people brought their corn to the town's mill, but corn was not introduced to the world until the XVI century. What was being brought to be ground into flour? Thanks
@ralphtallis34455 жыл бұрын
The word 'corn' is an old english/germanic word for a crop of wheat, barley or oats(AKA cereal crops). The corn you are referring to is called maize in UK and Corn in USA. So saying 'people brought their corn to the town's mill' is correct. Hope that explains it, if you want to double check just search for the etymology of the word corn. BTW it would have been barley and wheat, wheat being for the richer consumers off the period with poorer families existing on barley.

I bet life was better for the average person back in Birmingham in 1300. I’m sure it was very quiet and safe. Obviously, people generally didn’t live as long, but there was more leisure and everyone knew everyone else, so nobody was lonely. Once in a LONG while, some war came along, but most villages just surrendered and went on with their lives under new management. Travelling entertainers visits were probably the most exciting thing to happen, and you would get news from other places that way (and from visiting merchants). I doubt people got bored because there was always something that could use some work, and new houses and buildings were always under construction. And very little was done in a hurry. Major cathedrals took centuries to build, so, no one was stressing about being “behind schedule”.

Many years ago a chap who was an authority on the Black Country, told me that the West Midlands accent was probably influenced by Danes who settled there in the Dark Ages. Apparently, towns ending in "all" were Danish settlements Pelsall, Walsall, Rushall, etc. As a piece of useless information, there is a Rushall in my adopted county of Norfolk where it is pronounced Rooshall (the oo as in kangaroo). As a Brummie, I noticed on my visits to the Black Country how the accent changed from town to town. People from Lye, Old Hill and Cradley Heath spoke with an accent unlike Brummie.
@kensheldon60777 жыл бұрын
Not true. Midlands accents are/were influenced by our Anglo-Saxon roots. The Midlands continued to be a Saxon stronghold after the Norman invasion and the Germanic roots of the Saxon language, Old English, are still very much in evidence, particularly in the Birmingham and Black Country dialects.

Words are funny. Why we call things what we call them has always interested me. A similar instance occured with 'Oranges' as relates the fruit and color, as well. Prior to intensive trade with East India, the common word for 'orange' in Europe was geoluread, which is a concatenation of the words 'yellow (geolu [je-lu]) + red (read [red])'. 'Orange' is actually a bastardization of a sanskrit word used in the Himalayan regions , where the fruit is believed to have first been cultivated: naranga. Basically as the trade routes opened and the market distances the fruits were traded increased, the word begins to be introduced into other languages. Farsi during the Persian and later ottoman empires, then into Europe, then into England. naranga > naranj > arancia > pom d'orange > orange. The oldest documented use of using 'orange' as a synonym of geoluread in english is in the 1510s. However, it was over that century that the term would spread to completely displace it. As the northern european climate is inhospitable to heat and humidity loving oranges, Northern Europeans desperate to get these fruits in a stable supply began experimenting with artificial habitat. By the middle of the 1500s the Italians who were practiced in fruit cultivation and the use of growing fruits against a vertical earthen structures to extend the season (what later became known as espalier) began experimenting with enclosing the citrus trees behind panes of glass. And as this system showed promise, it was continually developed into stand alone glass buildings called arancias (orangeries). These were the first green-houses in europe, and they were built almost exclusivly for the cultivation of oranges. And this is when the term exploded through Europe, and why it is mainly ubiquitous in almost all european cultures. As the italian ideas and results propagated outward on the construction of arancias, the name stuck but was transliterated into most european languages. By the 1650's, orange had completely displaced geoluread in English, however the term 'orangeries' to refer to green-houses fell out of favor as their use in general horticulture increased.
