Poverty and its Relief in Medieval England

The collapse of the medieval social structure paved the way for policies focusing mainly on promotion of the poor. This has led to improved remedies for the poor for groups that are socially disadvantaged. During 1547, the beggar was classified as "V" and forced to be enslaved for two years. The law in 1572 continues to use this method, stating that defamation should be punished and that the third crime should be sentenced to death. The only help for the poor is through private charity.

From the medieval point of view, sometimes poor salvation is a charity, sometimes it is not so. When it is a charity, its intention is not so bad on its own. There are at least some more than that. Contrary to the concept of charity - not about it - it is commanded to look blindly and totally examined as a purely absolute function - the medieval charity is at least very emphatic of the public imagination . Before the medical and philanthropic welfare state, Mirror Rubin wrote: "

In the medieval Christians, according to the traditions of late ancient ancestry, we have a rich theory that poverty and its spiritual significance, meaning to God, meaning for a fair society, and wealthy people are responsible for the poor It has developed. In the center is the statue of Christ and himself is a poor man: "You, the Lord of all things, even in the early stages of your life you do not need anything, you will experience inconvenience We do not refuse to do that. "St. Anthony wrote in the second half of the 11th century," All people who want comfort, comfort, increasing dirtiness, God is with you in your poverty. " I will. At least, the Christian world has all been able to provide dignity and even sanctity for poverty and to provide rights and perceptions to the poor.
