• So really, what
changed
geographically?
The Battle at Crecy 1346 A.D.
• France had 36,000 knights.
• England had 12,000 with 7,000 of
them being bowman.
• England won! (huh?!)
• The longbow makes knights in full
armor unnecessary.
How did the longbow “kill” knights and Feudalism?
A young French girl…
• Inspires France
• Leads the French army to
victory (dressed as a man)
• Kicks the English out of
France
• Is captured, sold to the
English, and burned at the
stake as a witch!

Feeling of nationalism emerged in England
and France – King a national leader, fighting
for the nation
 power and prestige of French monarch
increased
 English fell into War of the Roses, in which
two noble houses fought for the throne
* Hundred Years’ War marks the “end” of the
Middle Ages
Factors leading to the end of
Feudalism
• The Crusades helped by uniting the
knights against a common enemy.
• The Magna Carta limited the power of
kings.
• But the main factor in the end of
feudalism though was the Black Death.
Dang you
Magna Carta…
I used to be so
buff!
Job Specialization
• As with most medieval cultures, most
Europeans were farmers.
• As time went on though more and more
jobs were available.
• People could start making money and
no longer had to rely so heavily on the
feudal lords.
