The New Agriculture (cont.)
• The European population doubled in size
between 1000 and 1300.
• The large population increase in Europe was
due in part to a more peaceful environment
and changes in technology.
• Food production was increased by using
scythes, axes, and hoes.
The New Agriculture (cont.)
• A new plow called the carruca led to the
growth of farming villages. People had to
work together to buy the iron needed to
make the plow and share the team of
animals needed to pull the plow.
• Europeans also started using three-field
rotations, harnessing wind and water, and
using animal power to save labor and
produce more crops.
The Manorial System (cont.)
• The manor was an agricultural estate run by
a lord and worked by serfs.
• Serfs provided labor services, paid rents,
and were subject to the control of the lord.
• The life of European peasants was very
simple. They lived in wood framed cottages,
generally consisting of one or two rooms.
The Manorial System (cont.)
• The seasons of the year dictated peasant
activities.
• Religious holidays provided peasants with
time away from work and brought them into
contact with the Church.
• Peasant women had to work in the field,
raise children, and manage the household.
The Peasant’s Wheel of Life
The Manorial System (cont.)
• Grains were used for making bread, the daily
food of peasants, and ale. Vegetables,
cheeses, and sometimes meat
supplemented the meals of peasants.
• Water was not easy to obtain, so wine was
the drink of the upper classes and ale was
the drink of the poor.
The Revival of Trade (cont.)
• Cities in strategic locations, such as Venice
and Flanders, grew in size and wealth.
• Trade fairs were initiated by cities to
encourage more trade.
The Revival of Trade (cont.)
• As trade increased, demand for gold and
silver coins increased. Eventually, a money
economy replaced the barter system.
• New trading companies and banking firms
led to the economic system of commercial
capitalism.
The Growth of Cities (cont.)
• The revival of trade led to a revival of cities.
• Merchants and artisans moved into these
newly revitalized cities and became known
as bourgeoisie.
• The people in the cities and towns slowly
gained their independence from local lords.
The cities created their own governments,
and patricians were elected legally or
illegally.
Medieval Trade Routes
The Growth of Cities (cont.)
• Medieval towns were surrounded by stone
walls and were cramped and dirty. Pollution
and the threat of fire plagued the city
inhabitants.
• People began to organize themselves into
business associations. These guilds played
a leading role in the economic life of cities.
The Growth of Cities (cont.)
• A person who wanted to learn a trade went
through a series of steps.
• People started as unpaid apprentices,
earned wages as a journeyman, and could
become a master by producing a
masterpiece.

controlled the Papal States.
• Pope Gregory VII wanted to free the Church
of political interference from lords and kings
and ended the practice of lay investiture.
• Gregory claimed that the pope had authority
over the entire Christian world including its
rulers. If rulers did not accept this, they
would be removed.
The Papal Monarchy (cont.)
• Henry IV of Germany disagreed with the
pope’s view and a struggle known as the
Investiture Controversy ensued.

in 1122, a bishop in Germany was elected by
the Church, and then the bishop paid
homage to the king.
The Papal Monarchy (cont.)

Pope Innocent III who used the interdict to
get his way.

• In 1098, a group of monks who were
unhappy with the lack of discipline at their
monastery started the Cistercian order.

religious orders. Intellectual women, such as
Hildegard of Bingen, found convents a
haven for their activities.

simplicity and devotion to the poor.
New Religious Orders (cont.)

churches were built in the Romanesque style.
• The construction of the Romanesque
churches was similar to the basilicas of the
Roman era, except that instead of flat roofs,
they had arched vaults.
Architecture (cont.)
• Romanesque churches required massive
pillars to hold up the stone roofs, and had
little light due to the lack of windows.
• A new style, called Gothic, utilized ribbed
vaults and flying buttresses to allow for
higher ceilings and thinner walls.
• Gothic cathedrals were spectacular churches
with stained-glass windows that symbolized
the spirituality of the people.

University Locations
Universities (cont.)
• Theology, the most highly regarded subject,
was influenced by scholasticism.
• Scholasticism attempted to reconcile
Christian teachings with the works of the
Greek philosophers such as Aristotle, who
reached conclusions by rational thought, not
by faith.
• In the 1200s, Saint Thomas Aquinas wrote
his masterpiece Summa Theologica which
concluded that reason could not conflict with
truths arrived at through faith.

Church and schools.
