Medieval Ages
Continuity and change
• Historians recognise that over time some things stay the same, while others change
• Historians refer to aspects of the past that have remained the same over time as continuities. Aspects of the past that do not stay the same are referred to as changes.
• E.g.: Many aspects of history influence how we act and live today. For example, barbers and barber shops are common today as they were during medieval times.
-
Cause and effect
• The concept of cause and effect is used by historians to identify chains of events and developments, both in the short term and in the long term.
• identify, examine and analyse the reasons why events have occurred and the resulting consequences or outcomes.
• E.g.: Sometimes the link between cause and effect is very clear. For example, heavy rain over many weeks (cause) leads to flooding and the destruction of crops (effect).
• During the 14th century, a terrible plague known as the Black Death swept across Europe, Asia and parts of Africa. Historians estimate that at least 75 million people across Asia, North Africa and Europe died as a result

The medieval ages was the end of the ancient world and start of the modern world with big empires collapsing and new cultures, religions new ideas and new societies taking territory when the empires collapsed.
The key features of the medieval world were systems and religions,, governments/laws, conflict/war, trade between different societies.
Feudalism in western Europe was introduced between 8th-11th century and was a social system based on people rights and obligations to land ownership
Feudalism was a social hierarchy where everyone worked for everyone and feudalism is where people get listed by there importance, so the king who was given protection gives back land and was at the top then the nobles and church officials who provide money for the king and they get protection ordered by the king then the knights who gave protection in return for money and food and then the peasants are last who provide food and work and in return they get land
By the 11th century the medieval societies had its many differences between the poor and rich between what they wore and there was actually a law to enforce this, that only people of royal blood could wear gold and silver materials and women nobles could were veils and dresses made of satin and velvet
Charlemagne was a very important king in medieval Europe because he made sure his kingdom was running smoothly and had messengers to keep up on his town and this led to his kingdom to rise and become one of the most powerful in western Europe.
The spread of Christianity was was one of the most significant events in the medieval ages because it gave people hope, belief and respectfulness to their life and a way to live.
Architecture was another change in medieval ages because when people went to war they would see what other societies have built and created and when they go back to their home they can give their town, village or kingdom another way to build something and a different way to represent things in building structure.
Kingdoms would use warfare as a way to gain more territory and to stop invaders from gaining some of their territory
The black death first broke out in 1330s north eastern china and then just kept on spreading all the way through china and then the whole of Europe wiping out half the worlds population.
The growth of trade was huge, people were travelling from one kingdom to another trying to sell goods and look for new ideas and new things to sell back at their home kingdom.
the living conditions in the 12th century were very harsh because of the population boom and that made it tough to find accommodation and the competition for food was humongous
The black death was plague that broke out in parts of Asia Africa and Europe between the the early 1330-1350 and this was a infectious disease that spread through the human population and this plague was said if you had it that you were in hell because of the pain people were in if you got it.
In today's society we have way better medicine that wouldn't let something like the plague to spread. But the medicine they had back then was not advanced enough to tackle something like the plague and thats why it spread so much because there was no cure and the people back then had no idea why so many people were dying and they had no ideas about germs and bacteria.
Even though the people back then had no idea why this devastating disease were killing so many they tried to find out why it was caused, many thought that it was a message from god because of their bad sins they would die and that lead to so many people confessing about their sins and praying but some tried to blame other people and because Christianity was the biggest religion that Jews made up a small minority of that population and because Christians believe that Jews crucified Jesus that Jews were often a target
