What were the Middle Ages?

We will look at events in both Europe and Asia during the Middle Ages. The Middle Ages is a historical time period between (or in the “middle” of) the fall of the Western Roman Empire (476 C.E) and the beginning of the Renaissance (beginning around 1500 C.E). We will look at events in both Europe and Asia during the Middle Ages. 2

The Middle Ages in Europe

Western Europe in Decline Invaders swept across the fallen Western Roman region Trade was slow Towns were empty Education no longer truly existed 500 to 1500: Known as the Middle Ages (Dark Ages) Medieval: Latin meaning, “middle age” The Catholic Church was very powerful in Medieval Europe. The King may have been ruler but he feared the Church and the Pope. The King allocated 25% of available land for Church use. The King was considered to be on the throne because of ‘divine right’ – i.e. that God put him there. If the King went against the wishes of the Pope, or the rules of Catholicism, he could be excommunicated.

Rise of Germanic Kingdoms Franks– Germanic tribe that conquered present-day France (named for the Franks) and neighboring lands in the 400s Frankish kings used military power to expand their territory No written laws 486: King Clovis: conquered former Roman province of Gaul Converts to Christianity: gains allies The Franks served as a unifying force in Western Europe after the fall of the Western Roman empire. Muslim empire threatens Europe Islam began in Arabia in 600s (Muslims) Muslim army invades France Charles Martel rallies Frankish warriors Battle of Tours 732: Christian warriors triumph https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5itBgiz35T8
