Common law - Made by kings, general

Feudal law - king grants land to nobles and protection, nobles give loyalty, taxes, military aid. Nobles make laws in counties

Hereditary rule family that controlled france for a few centuries

east rome was better but west was no bueno

muslims were in Jerusalem for hundreds of years, attacked constantinople

divine providence

Crusades

Council of clermont, he helps byzantine emperor drive out muslims

4 yearls after council they capture jerusalem

•POSITIVES – Trade expanded - march took them east into the trade empire / Returning Crusaders came back with goods / increased the power of the monarchs - by getting Jerusalem *kinda, mostly because most soldiers did it voluntarily and goal was accomplished, also kings and leaders were there with the people so people saw them as better / wider world view - saw what life could be like– travel

•NEGATIVES – Atrocities committed by Muslims and Christians / Mistrust of Religions / Severe persecution of the Jews – who would flee

ok but stfu

the christians taking back the land they had lost in spain. (iberian peninsula)

QUEEN ISABELLA COMPLETES THE RECONQUISTA AND ATTEMPTS TO IMPOSE RELIGIOUS UNITY (CHRISTIAN) –

REMEMBER THE BATTLE OF TOURS

•NON CONVERTERS JAILED / EXPELLED / BURNT AT THE STAKE

muslims push christianity out of spain and christians hold in gaul francs help push muslims back and christians start attacking the muslims in spain

ships with rats with fleas probably

1 IN 3 DIED, economies 👎

italy recovered quick - renaissance

shortage of labor, wages go up

less food, cost to make go up, prices of food go up

Started using livestock because it was cheaper and needed less labor

peasants went to cities, over crowding, plague gets worse

start to rebel

seperation

pope clement (french) move papal court to Avignon, France until pope gregory moves it back to rome (angers french cardinals) French king wants the church in France.

Election for new pope after gregory death - italian vs french cardinal

Italian won - probably rigged/dishonest

French were angry - dont accept new pope, elect their own.

both excommunicate eachother

group of cardinals get tired of this, make their own pope (german part)

power of church weakened because people lost faith

france and england fighting over france because lots of partly french english kings, (many french fought for england too)

political system of england turned into a elective or smth monarchy (parliament gains power)

french monarchy got stronger - bc they won (growing sense of nationalism)

said she had visions with archangels/angels telling her to lead french to victory over english (cray cray)

The king believed her , gave her military position

started to win battles

increases jealousy of others and increases king’s support of her

She is captured and put on trial in England for the visions and for dressing like a man,

burned at the stake

she was canonized a few centuries later and her trial verdict was deemed untrue
