• III. Western Church– A. Politics and the Church– Pope looked to gain both religious and political power by
crowning Charlemagne the king of the Holy Roman Empire– Western Europe was under 3 legal traditions: Germanic
Feudal law, church law, Roman law– Germanic law: ordeal vs. wergild– Wergild – “money for a man” – a system using a fine was
developed to avoid bloodshed after crimes such as murder• Injured party’s family was paid a set amount of money
(varied by social status)– Ordeal – one way of determining guilt, based on a belief
that the gods would not let an innocent person be punished• If the accused was unharmed after a physical trial, they
are presumed innocent

Empire, building churches, adopting the alphabet, and trading with Constantinople
![Page 47: Chapter 9: Christian Societies Emerge in Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816178550346895dd104d7/html5/thumbnails/47.jpg)

– B. Society and Culture– Poor agricultural land, short growing season, and
primitive farming technologies led to Kievan state relying on trade more than production
– Christianity spread slowly through Russia but polytheism was still persistent until 12th century
• V. Western Europe Revives, 1000-1200– A. Role of Technology– Populations began to grow because of new
technologies– Technologies: horse collar, heavy moldboard plow,

– The recovery of trade was due to the use of high value gold and silver coins, which were not used during the Middle Ages
– During the 12th century Europeans began to mint silver and then gold coins
![Page 53: Chapter 9: Christian Societies Emerge in Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816178550346895dd104d7/html5/thumbnails/53.jpg)

and Christians both want to control– Pope Urban II in 1095: initiated the first Crusade
when he called upon the Europeans to stop fight each other and fight the Muslims instead
– he promoted the concept of a "Truce of God" which would restrain violence at home; and he called for the first crusade.
![Page 54: Chapter 9: Christian Societies Emerge in Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816178550346895dd104d7/html5/thumbnails/54.jpg)
• "...advance boldly, as knights of Christ, and rush as quickly as you can to the defense of the Eastern Church. For she it is from whom the joys of your whole salvation have come forth, who poured into your mouths the milk of divine wisdom, who set before you the holy teachings of the gospel."
![Page 55: Chapter 9: Christian Societies Emerge in Europe](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062501/56816178550346895dd104d7/html5/thumbnails/55.jpg)

• All who die by the way, whether by land or by sea, or in battle against the pagans, shall have immediate remission of sins. This I grant them through the power of God with which I am invested. O what a disgrace if such a despised and base race, which worships demons, should conquer a people which has the faith of omnipotent God and is made glorious with the name of Christ! With what reproaches will the Lord overwhelm us if you do not aid those who, with us, profess the Christian religion! Let those who have been accustomed unjustly to wage private warfare against the faithful now go against the infidels and end with victory this war which should have been begun long ago. Let those who for a long time, have been robbers, now become knights. Let those who have been fighting against their brothers and relatives now fight in a proper way against the barbarians. Let those who have been serving as mercenaries for small pay now obtain the eternal reward. Let those who have been wearing themselves out in both body and soul now work for a double honor. Behold! on this side will be the sorrowful and poor, on that, the rich; on this side, the enemies of the Lord, on that, his friends. Let those who go not put off the journey, but rent their lands and collect money for their expenses; and as soon as winter is over and spring comes, let them eagerly set out on the way with God as their guide

– B. Impact of the Crusades– Helps to end the stronghold of feudalism– The Crusades increased trade and some Italian
cities benefited economically– Led to the deaths of many knights and nobles– Kings gained power as they took over unoccupied
lands– Brought knowledge of Muslim culture to Europe
