Title in English: Masculine Visions of Women Rape in England, in the Period of the Plantagenet Family (A.D. 1154- 1485)

Abstract

The Middle Ages period is one of the periods that is unique in highlighting the role of men, youth, masculinity, and chivalry in various fields of life, and this appeared socially through men controlling women. Here, the most important problems of the study appear, which is that England is far from the Church of Rome, the source of Catholicism, in addition to the heterogeneity of its population of Bretons, Anglo-Saxons and Normans, which led to the emergence of a group of divergent visions about looking at women in general and women's issues in particular. In view of the length of the study period represented in the era of the Plantagenet family (1154-1485 AD); The aim of the study is to highlight the development of masculine literary, judicial and political visions on the issue of rape of women, which was common in the period under study The direct result of this research is that the prevalence of women's rape represents one of the episodes of people's consistency with the English rulers, who took the initiative to do so for political justifications.
