The End of Feudalism• Build on What You Know :– The Crusades began the decline of feudalism in

Europe. – You learned about a series of crises—including the

plague—that further weakened feudalism in Europe.

• Before the end of the century, the plague had killed tens of millions of people in Europe, North Africa, and western Asia. In Europe, about one-third of the total population was killed.

The Effects of the Black Death• The plague that struck western Eurasia in the mid-

1300s is called bubonic plague. – Its victims experienced severe chills, fever, convulsions,

and vomiting. – Victims also developed dark spots on their skin and

swollen glands. – A person infected with the bubonic plague was usuallydead within a few days. – The plague of the 1300s became known as the Black Death.

Reaction to the Plague

• Christians and Muslims reacted differently to the plague.

• Christians often saw the plague as a punishment for sin.

• By comparison, Muslims saw the plague as testing their faith in God.

• Regardless of their faith, the plague had killed 20 to 30 million people by 1400.

The Decline of the Feudal Social System

• European workers were so scarce that those able to work could demand higher pay for their labor.

• The shortage of labor and higher wages weakened feudalism because workers began to migrate in search of higher wages.

• In Europe, the hostility toward Jews that developed during the Crusades continued during the bubonic plague.

• Jews were often accused of causing the plague by poisoning water wells.

Philip VI of France vs Edward III of England

The Beginning of the 100 Years War

• In the 1300s, England and France faced not only the plague but frequent warfare as well.

• Between 1337 and 1453, England and France fought each other in the Hundred Years’ War.

• It was actually a series of wars—not one continuous battle.

Background for the War- where it began!

• William, Duke of Normandy, was from the Norman region of France.

• He claimed to be the rightful king of England. In 1066, William captured England in what is called the Norman invasion.

• He became known as William the Conqueror and tied the nobility of France with the nobility of England.

• Over the years, tensions grew over who had the right to rule either region.

Years of Battle: 100 years war• Those tensions reached a crisis point in the early

1300s:1. England claimed territory in the southwest of France.2. France was supporting Scotland’s fight

against England. 3. There was also debate about rights to sea travel in the English Channel.

The Beginning• Fighting began when the

king of France tried to take the territory claimed by England in southern France.

• The English king responded by claiming that he was the rightful king of France.

• In 1337, England attacked France.

The 100 Years War• The English had several victories however, in 1428, the English

attacked Orleans, one of France’s last major strongholds. • A French peasant girl known as Joan of Arc led the French to

victory. • By 1453, the French had driven the English from France and

ended the war.

Joan of Arc (c. 1412–1431)

• Joan of Arc was born a peasant in France, around 1412.

• She was a devoted Catholic and when she was about 13, she believed that religious visions were urging her to fight the English during the Hundred Years’ War.

• In 1429, she went to Charles, the French heir to the throne and convinced him that her visions were divine.– Charles made her a knight.

Joan of Arc (c. 1412–1431) • In May 1429, Joan led the

French to victory in the battle against the English at Orleans.

• A year after the victory at Orleans, Joan was captured by allies of England.

• She was eventually executed in 1431.

• She became a national heroine in France and was declared a saint by the Catholic Church in 1920.

ARC IS NOW RENOWNED AS A

New Weapons• New weapons changed warfare in Europe and

around the world:– A longbow shot arrows that could penetrate a

knight’s armor. – Europeans also took advantage of new gunpowder

weapons. • Gunpowder technology came from China, but Europeans

developed the technology into a major instrument of war. • The longbow and gunpowder weapons could easily defeat

knights. – Over the next 300 years, the development of gunpowder

weapons would greatly change the intensity and organization of warfare.

New Weapons

• What weaponry advancements have we had present day?

• How have these weapons changed what we know as warfare?

The End of the Middle Ages

• For centuries, many European societies followed the feudal structure.

• Due to the Plague, the Crusades, and the 100 Years War, European feudalism broke down and signaled the end of the Middle Ages.

Social and Political Changes

• Social and Political Structures European trade and towns grew throughout the Middle Ages.

• People kept moving from the country to towns seeking their fortune.

• Towns required stability to make business and trade more reliable.

• Stronger monarchies could provide that stability. • As a result, towns increasingly became centers of

support for monarchies, and monarchies in turn expanded their power.

Social and Political Changes

• Monarchies gained even more strength after the Hundred Years’ War. – For example, the French monarchy no longer had to

worry about an English claim to their throne. • The French Monarchy would eventually become

the best example of an absolute monarchy under King Louis XIV (1643–1715).

• With guidance from skilled councilors, Louis would make France the most powerful nation in Europe.

New Ideas• For many historians, the end of the Middle Ages

began with the development of large nations that had powerful central governments run by kings.

• As the Middle Ages came to an end, scholars continued the study of classical texts

• New ideas about learning, science, and art developed in Italian cities.

• The new ideas spread along European trade routes.

• This new era is called the Renaissance
