  5. Setting the Stage • Western Roman Empire has just collapsed in 476 CE • Germanic tribes are attacking and terrorizing all areas of Europe • People are fleeing the cities to avoid the attacks of the Germanic tribes • Power, learning and trade are all no longer as strong as they once were • Only area where there is growth is in the Catholic church (Christian religion)

  6. The Middle Ages • Definition: medieval period in Europe leading from 500-1500 CE • Took place as a result of the gradual decline of the Roman Empire and fragmentation of Europe • Primary unifying force: Roman Catholic Church (AKA THE Church) • How? • The Pope anointed Holy Roman Emperors • Missionaries carried Christianity to the Germanic Tribes • Church served social, political, and religious needs of the people

  7. Foundation of Early Medieval Society • Classical heritage of Rome: Roman culture still important, even though in decline—giving way to Germanic culture • Christian Beliefs: most of Western Europe (including most Germanic tribes) • Customs of Germanic Tribes: i.e. oral tradition of song and language, no written language, violence, and warfare

  8. Changes in Western Europe • Disruption of Trade: frequent invasions caused trade to break down, causing a decline in cities and a lack of money in Western Europe • Downfall of Cities: cities were abandoned, lack of leadership • Population shifts: people left cities for rural areas • Decline of learning: invaders!! Couldn’t read or write, Roman culture in decline, knowledge of Greek nearly disappeared, only literate people= monks and priests • Loss of a common language: different dialects of Latin gave rise to Romance languages—(ie French and Spanish)

  9. Disruption of Trade

  10. Influence of the Roman Catholic Church in the Early Middle Ages • Roman authority declined, while church authority grew • Monasteries preserved Greco-Roman cultural achievements • Monks were the few who could read and write=literate • Missionaries carried Christianity and the Latin alphabet to Germanic tribes • Pope Leo III anointed Charlemagne as the Holy Roman Emperor in 800 CE • Parish priests served religious and social needs of the people

  11. Medieval Monks-Learning

  12. Pope Leo III and Charlemagne

  13. The Franks • United by Clovis • Converted people to Christianity • Other important leaders: • Charles Martel (came to power in 719) • Why was he important? • Charlemagne (came to power in 771) • Expanded his kingdom by attacking neighboring tribes • Unified Europe for the 1st time since the fall of the Roman Empire

  14. Clovis—Baptism for Strategy

  15. Charles the Hammer—Bane to Muslims

  16. Charlemagne—Savior of the Holy Roman Empire

  17. Frankish Kings and the Church • Frankish kings used military power to expand their territory to include most of Western Europe • Empire united by the building of churches, roads, and schools • Connection with the Church reestablished Roman culture in Western Europe • Charlemagne-crowned Emperor of the Holy Roman Empire • Church power extended to political, or secular, affairs

  18. Hmm… • As Charlemagne’s authority breaks down…what do you think will happen next?

  19. Tombstones for the Franks Example Alexander the Great "A tomb now suffices him for whom the world was not enough“ MLK, Jr "Free at last. Free at last. Thank God Almighty I'm Free At Last." • For each of the following events/individuals, create an epitaph for a tombstone heading that includes: • Their name • Their major accomplishments • a symbol to represent them (drawn) • It should be creative and memorable • The Roman Empire • Clovis • Charlemagne • Charles the Hammer

  20. Feudalism

  21. The Rise of Feudalism • Background • Invaders destroyed Roman ability to protect the people of Western Europe • People, in response to this lack of protection, entered into feudal agreements with land-holding lords who promised them protection

  22. Fief: piece of land • Lord: landowner—granted land to a vassal in exchange for loyalty and military service • Vassal: one who received land from a lord, pledged loyalty and military service • Serf: workers/peasants who were tied/bound to the land—worked to maintain the manor • Feudal obligations: see above

  23. Medieval Manor: lord’s estate—houses and land. Had its own: • Rigid class structure (social) • Self-sufficient economy (economic system)
