CHAPTER 10
Lesson 3: Plague and the Hundred Years’ War

2. 7.) I can describe the effects of the plague on European society.
The plague killed one-third (33%) of Europe’s population.
Wars stopped and trade declined.
There was a shortage of labor for landowners.
The labor shortage allowed for workers to demand higher pay and this helped to weaken feudalism.

3. 8.) I can identify the causes and outcome of the Hundred Years’ War.
William, Duke Of Normandy, claimed to be the King of England. He captured England and tied the nobility of England to the nobility of France. This caused great tension.
England claimed territory in the southwest of France.
France was supporting Scotland’s fight against England.
There were debates about sea travel rights in the English Channel.
The fighting began when France tried taking the land back from England.
The French, led by Joan of Arc, drove the English out of France and ended the Hundred Years’ War.

4. The longbow could shoot arrows that penetrated the knight’s armor.
9.) I can explain the significance of new warfare technologies developed during the Hundred Years’ War.
The longbow could shoot arrows that penetrated the knight’s armor.
Gunpowder weapons were developed by the English.
These new weapons could easily defeat knights.
4. These weapons also changed the intensity and organization of war.

5. 10.) I can trace the emergence of modern European nations.
Medieval Europe Early Modern Europe
Weaker monarchies Stronger monarchies
Powerful nobility Weaker nobility
Mostly agricultural Rising trade importance
Loyal to local leaders Loyal to the king
Knights Longbow & gunpowder weapons
