GRAPES of Europe in the Middle Ages
Mr. Hernandez
Geography
• There are many large
rivers and bodies of
water.
• These were used mainly
for travel and trade.
• There are rugged
mountain ranges
• These helped separate
kingdoms, prevent a lot
of trade until towns
grew, and protect them
from invaders
• There are diverse
climates which led to
diverse crops
throughout Europe.
Religion
• The Roman Catholic Church ruled all in
the Middle Ages in Europe.
• The church was the center of life for
people in Medieval towns.
• People thought world events like famine
and disease were punishments from
God
• The Pope was the head of the Church
• The Church owned the most land in
Medieval Europe and they could
excommunicate and tax people
• The Church also helped educate eligible
students as well.
• Christians at this time hoped to make a
pilgrimage to Jerusalem and Rome once
in their life.
• Kings believed they had a divine right to
rule.
Achievements
• The Roman Catholic Church
built large and beautiful
gothic style cathedrals.
• These cathedrals often had
statues of hideous beasts
and gargoyles on them.
• The Church educated
students in monasteries and
later in universities
• People in Medieval towns
named minstrels played
instruments and
participated in plays that
were centered on stories
from the Bible
• Longbows and crossbows
were invented to fight
battles more efficiently and
effectively.
Politics
• Kingdoms belonged to monarchs (kings
and queens).
• The king would keep some land for
himself and give fiefs, or grants of land,
to lords. In return the lords gave the
king loyalty and the protection of his
knights.
• Kings, lords, vassals, and nobles were
considered powerful because they
governed fiefs.
• The Roman Catholic Church had the
power to tax people and also owned the
most land in Medieval Europe.
• The language of the Roman Catholic
Church, Latin, was the only common
language in Europe
• Church officials were the only people
who could read which led to them being
trusted advisors for monarchs.
Economics
• Because Europe was separated into
their own small kingdoms, the same
money was not used everywhere.
• Instead of money, the amount of land
one owned is was what made someone
wealthy.
• The Roman Catholic Church owned the
most land in Europe at this time.
• Trade in the Middle Ages at first was
not widespread. People made their
own food, clothing and household
items.
• As towns grew, so did commerce (trade
and the buying/selling of goods).
• People would go to the market to buy
and sell goods within their own towns.
• People who produced the same goods
joined together to form guilds. These
were like early labor unions
Social Structure
• The Roman Catholic Church owned the most
land in Europe, therefore, the head of the
church, the Pope, had a great deal of power
in Europe in the Middle Ages.
• Europe was split into to several kingdoms.
Their structure consisted of:
▫ Monarchs (kings/queens) were at the top
and ruled their kingdom as they wished.
They lived on a manor.
▫ They gave pieces of land (fiefs) to lords to
manage in return for loyalty and
supplying knights in times of war.
▫ Lords would rely on lesser lords and their
knights to watch over smaller areas of
land for them. In return they received
land to live on.
▫ At times, lords would grant land to
peasants who would live on the land. In
return, they would work the land.
▫ Serfs were at the bottom of society. They
were tied to the land, had to work, and
could not leave.
