What is the difference between Feudalism and Manorialism?
1. Feudalism: Economic, political, and social organization of
medieval European relationships Deals mostly with upper class relationships Lords and Vassals
2. Manorialism: Agricultural, legal, and social organization of land The land and its’ inhabitants were the manor. Both belonged to a lord

weather new agricultural practices less threats from invaders Influence from Romans and Comitatus
What were the results of feudalism?
Revival of cities Internal and external colonization Altered power structure Relationships became more personal
The Feudal Milieu Social Environment Kings could not longer protect all of
their people so people turned to neighbors that were stronger.

by religious festivals and holidays

manorialism 3. Increase agricultural activity 4. New economic opportunities
What happens as population grows?
Populations EXPAND internally and externally
When areas populate quickly what tends to happen? Create a list of possible outcomes
War (N) Peaceful expansion (P) Overpopulation (N) Economic growth (P) Clash of cultures (N) Blending of cultures (P) Spread of diseases (N) Spread of ideas (P)
Internal Colonization Clearing of forests and marshes to
expand agricultural space Lords began to offer freedom to
encourage colonization of new land
How did they name these new settlements?
External Colonization (Conquest) German nobles pushed east beyond the
former borders of the Frankish empire People moved to the Baltic Sea, Finland,
and Austria. “Drang nach Osten” drive to the east
that offered new land and low rent By the end of the 15th century the size
of Germany had tripled
Reconquista The reconquest and resettlement of the
Iberian Peninsula. In the mid 11th century Christian kings
took the offensive against the Muslims By 1275 only Granada remained under
Muslim rule.
Ferdinand and Isabella Ordered the
expulsion of all Jews and Muslims from Spain between 1480-1492
Responsible for the Spanish Inquisition
The Hauteville Brothers (Norman) William Iron-Arm, Humphrey, and Drogo
wanted to seek out fortunes as mercenaries.
They started as mercenaries but began carving their own estates.
Succeeded in defeating the Muslims and Byzantines in southern Italy and Siciliy.
They united the two regions into one kingdom called the Kingdom of Naples and Sicily.
Rebirth of Urban Life Before 1200 no town in Western Europe
included more than 30,000 people As trade increased, the size of cities
increased. Towns were the one place that offered
vertical social mobility. Houses were close together, 2-4 stories
high, there was great entertainment, and the rich and poor lived side by side.
