Anticipation Guide What’s your opinion? Agree or disagree: Successful governments should establish a firm separation between the powers of church and state Individual rights do not need to be included and defined in a constitution Farming societies promote more secure and peaceful lifestyles than do societies that are centered upon industrial growth

Periods of Study 1. Early Middle Ages: 476 – 1050 CE (Dark Ages?) Barbarian tribes sack and destroy the Western Roman Empire – Eastern world flourishes Small independent kingdoms spring up in Italy, France, Spain, Germany and Britain. 2. Late Middle Ages: 1050 – 1450 CE Development of Feudalism (knights, lords and vassals), the Crusades, Magna Carta, Black Death, Hundred Years War, Age of Exploration…

Rise of the Barbarian Warlords as the Western Roman Empire collapsed, warlords fought for control Italy was occupied by invading tribes and ruled by ‘chieftans’/warlords Most influential tribes were: (see map) Huns (East) Vandals Angles Saxons Lombards Franks Barbarian tribes caused chaos, but left a legacy too (stirrups, pants, the yoke, butter, rye bread, water mills, barrels…) The most successful chieftan was Clovis, king of the Franks (481-511) Frankish kingdom est. from Belgium to Mediterranean Sea Clovis baptized as a Catholic – important precedent set Charles Martel (‘The Hammer’) stops the Arab advance of Islam into Europe (732) beginning of the Merovingian line of kings (descended from J.C.???) Martel’s son Pepin starts new line of rulers – Carolingians relationship with the church secured

Charlemagne most famous of the Carolingian rulers of the Franks (Gaul) ‘Charlemagne’ = Charles the Great appointed Holy Roman Emperor by Pope Leo III in Rome on Christmas Day, 800 CE successful military general his rule is known as the ‘Carolingnian Renaissance’ – period of great revival of learning established schools to educate clergy enforced church law and encouraged all to live a “Christian life” Latin standardized Educated and competent administrators

The Spread of Christianity missionary monks bring Christianity to pagans in northern and eastern Europe between 400 and 1100 CE known as the “Age of Faith” church becomes more powerful than kings or nobles!!! - own government, laws, courts, and tax system missionaries – responsible for spreading Christianity and converting non-Christians: St. Patrick – Ireland 432 St. Augustine – England 597 St. Boniface – Germany 601 By 1100 nearly all of Europe was Christian Stained glass windows were used to educate the illiterate about Christianity
