Western Europe in the Middle Ages After the fall of Rome, Western Europe had constant warfare Medieval kingdoms lacked trade, common language, & cultural diffusion Because the Middle Ages were so dangerous, Western Europe the Middle Ages people used a variety in of strategies to survive Feudalism offered protection when land-owning lords Western Europe in the Middle Ages gave fiefs to knights who swore to protect the manor Castles were built to protect the lord & his peasants Medieval Europeans lived on self-sufficient manors; The manorial system allowed peasants to farm the Western Europe in the Middle Ages lord’s land in exchange for part of the food harvested Besides feudalism & the manorial system, what else was important in the Middle Ages? The Role of the Medieval Church Feudalism & the manor system divided people, but the shared belief in Christianity unified medieval people The Role of the Medieval Church ■ Roman Catholicism was the dominant religion in Western Europe during the Middle Ages: –Without a common government to hold everyone together, the Catholic Church filled an important role in peoples’ lives –The Catholic Pope became the strongest political leader in Western Europe The Catholic Church conducted spiritual rituals The Role of the Medieval Church (called sacraments) & created a system of rules called Canon Law that all Christians had to follow Kings or lords who Christians who violated violated Canon Law Canon Law could be could face interdiction excommunicated (ban on religious (banished from the church) services in a king’s lands) After a disagreement with king Henry IV, Pope Gregory VII issued an interdict; Henry was so upset he begged for 3 days for the Pope to forgive him EachRole territory in medieval EuropeChurch had a The of the Medieval church which provided order on the manor Priests controlled peoples’ access to heaven by delivering the sacraments & absolving sins Peasants’ lives were hard, but the hope of a salvation in heaven kept them loyal & obedient the Church Local priests were the main contact most people had with the Catholic Church Christians paid a tax to the church called a tithe Medieval Christianity was so important Early medieval cathedrals were built with The Role of the Medieval Church that small churches were built on manors, Romanesque architecture but large cathedrals were built in cities But in the late medieval period, Gothic architecture was introduced Tall spires & pointed arches directed the eye towards heaven Flying buttresses allowed for fewer columns & more open space inside Two Christian Thinkers ■ St. Augustine – Wrote City of God – No earthly city can last forever – Only the City of God in Heaven is eternal – Because our understanding is limited, we must put our faith in God ■ St. Thomas Aquinas – Summa Theologica – provided a summary of Christian beliefs – Showed how the writings of Greek philosophers were compatible with Christian teachings – We should trust reason as well as faith – Believed in “natural” or “universal laws” – Beginning of civil disobedience Why did Christians go to Jerusalem during the Middle Ages? Pope Urban II issued a call Crusades to Christians for aThe Crusade (a holy war) to regain In 1095, the Islamic control of the Holy Land Empire invaded & took the holy city of Jerusalem Over the next 300 years, Christians fought Muslim armies in 9 different Crusades Why did Christians go on the Crusades? Merchants wanted access to trade routes The Pope wanted to unite Knights wanted to Roman Catholic & Eastern support the Church; Orthodox Christians & regain Many hoped to gain holy lands from Muslims land & wealth Christian soldiers took But, Muslims took back The Crusades back Jerusalem during Jerusalem & kept it during the First Crusade the Second & Third Crusades More Crusades were fought, but Christians never regained the Holy Lands Effects of the Crusades The Crusades brought cultural diffusion & introduced new ideas into Western Europe Increased desires for luxury goods like silk, cotton, sugar, & spices Introduced technologies like compass, astrolabe, ship designs, & gunpowder Introduced ideas like Arabic numbers, chemistry, algebra, telescope During the Middle Ages, only Greek ideas priests could read & write After the Crusades, learning increased & more people were educated Roman ideas Islamic ideas Ideas about the Bible Chinese ideas After the Crusades, people wanted Trade Medieval led to thefairs growth brought of cities High Middle Ages—Crusades more luxury goods & began to trade iron & salt to the feudal manors; this was a very rare thing Bring out your dead! One reason for the decline of the manorial system was the plague, known as the Black Death In 1347, a trade ship arrived in Italy carrying plague-infested rats The plague swept quickly throughout Europe along trade routes The Black Death Attempted “cures” for the plague Bathing in Isolation Leaches Prayer urine Placing dead animals in the home Pomanders The plague killed 25 million people in 5 years The plague caused a labor shortage; those that survived could demand higher wages & more rights Conclusions ■ The role of religion in the Middle Ages: –The Roman Catholic Church played an important role in the lives of Europeans both before & after the Middle Ages –The Crusades failed to secure Jerusalem from the Islamic Empire, but these holy wars increased cultural diffusion & helped bring an end to the Middle Ages
