Current Events Quiz

Issue #1: “Little Ice Age” : bad weather, shortened growing season, famineIssue #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

NOTES: Late Middle Ages: Disease, War, Decline of Feudalism

• 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

Results of Black Death

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

Hundred Year’s War (1337-1453)

I. (1337-1429) = ENGLISH VICTORIES, Medieval technologyI. 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 – FrenchHorses stick in mud, 1500 nobles die

Course of War:

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 toOrleans = French Victory- captured by English in 1430, burned at stake in1431 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

Turning Point

• 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

Decline of the Middle Ages

• 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!!!!!!
