  13. Current Events Quiz • Who is this, and what happened: • Pick one of the following, and tell me what the big story is: • Egypt • Iran • One other current event from your research

  14. NOTES: Late Middle Ages: Disease, War, Decline of Feudalism • Issue #1: “Little Ice Age” : bad weather, shortened growing season, famine • Issue #2: DISEASE • Mongol Invaders: took over China, Russia, established Silk Road = easier to spread disease • 90% of Beijing died, China population from 120 to 80 million • 1347: Arrival of Bubonic Plague on a Genoese merchant ship brought to Sicily • Between 1347-1351, European population fell from 75 mil to 38 million • 50-60% death rate in Italian cities

  15. Results of Black Death • Religious Fervor • “Flagellants” = beat themselves, created hysteria • Anti-Semitism • Jews accused of poisoning wells • POGROMS started in Germany – 60 communities exterminated, fled to Eastern Europe • POPULATION decline! • TRADE declines • Feudalism weakened: • Shortage of Workers = higher wages = more power = decline of Serfdom • Fewer people = lower demand for food = lower prices for food

  16. Hundred Year’s War (1337-1453) • England vs. France • Background: • France =ruled by King Philip VI, but has lots of “Duchies” • England = ruled by King Edward II, who’s also Duke of Glascony in France! • France seizes Glascony, England declares war on France

  17. Course of War: • (1337-1429) = ENGLISH VICTORIES, Medieval technology • Fought by medieval knights (cavalry), at first, then English brought in Welsh longbow to replace crossbow Battle of Crecy: 1346 (won by longbow) Battle of Agincourt: 1415 – French Horses stick in mud, 1500 nobles die

  18. Turning Point • By 1429…England ruled northern 1/3 of France, which is ruled by the timid dauphin Charles. Seems doomed until…. • JOAN OF ARC (1412-1431) • - French peasant girl • - convinced Dauphin to let her go with army to • Orleans = French Victory • - captured by English in 1430, burned at stake in • 1431 for being a witch. • (Exonerated 1456, sainted in 1920) • FRENCH go on to use the CANNON (gunpowder from China), win battles of Normandy and Aquitaine, win the war by 1453

  19. Decline of the Middle Ages • 100 Years War = knights obsolete • Feudalism breaking down • Kings just tax, hire professional soldiers • Church declines: GREAT SCHISM (1378-1417) • It’s height of power = 1200’s • Sources of power: excommunication, witholding sacraments, NOT TAXED • Power struggle with monarchs: • King Philip IV (France) tries to TAX the church (c. 1300)- Pope Boniface VIII says he can’t…and is brought to trial in France, dies from the trauma • France engineers election of new pope that leaves Rome, resides in Avignon, France (1305-1377) • $$$$$$, corrupt, worldly

  20. Papacy returns to Rome in 1377, but when that pope dies… • Romans threaten cardinals they must elect Italian pope or die…Pope Urban VI • 5 month later, French cardinals declare election invalid, elect Clement VII, who goes back to Avignon, Fr. • = TWO POPES, each excommunicate each other, call the other the “antichrist”, Catholicism looks BAD!!!!!!
