  established a new religious order, they dedicated
  their lives to religion with common rulers.
• Living apart from society-most monks lived apart
  from society, but two new religious orders

Religious Architecture

  most beautiful architecture. Their spires and
  high ceilings and colorful stained glass windows
  are all designed to bring people closer to god.
  Everything inside the church, from the walls to
  the clergy's robes to the books used, were also
  work of art.

summary

  people in the European middle ages, life revolved
  around their church. They held their religious
  ceremonies there. In this way the church became a
  major feudal lord, also church officials became
  political advisors to rulers.

Magna Carta causes changes in England.

Magna Carta

• Magna Carta-document written by English nobles
  and signed by king john listing rights the king
  could not ignore.
• Who demanded this agreement- a group of English
  nobles decided to force the king to respect their
  rights.
• Effects of Magna Carta- the Magna Carta led to
  more changes. Faced with war and financial
  troubles, the kings turned to a council of nobles
  for advice and money.

Changes after Magna Carta

• Changes after Magna Carta- no one could be kept
  in jail without reason, and even the king must
  obey the law. Faced with war and financial
  troubles , the kings turned to the nobles for
  advice and money.

15
What did M/C inspire the noble to do

• A council of nobles was created to advise the
  king. In time the council developed into
  parliament.

16
How did the king limit m/c

• In Europe kings were not giving up their power
  easily, but other events political change. A
  major event was the hundred year war, a long
  conflict between England and France. The war
  helped increase the power of parliament because
  the king needed parliaments approval to raise
  money to pay for the war.

17
speech

• They should have a free way of speech because
  letting the people have a say in the government
  would cause less trouble of the people saying
  that they dont have a say and it would cause
  less drama with your people.

18
peace

• This would be a very important role in my Magna
  Carta because with peace it can solve many issues
  that are rising. Such as when there is a problem
  about whos land that is instead of arguing about
  it what they can do is build a barrier and then
  they will have peace.

19
religion

• Religion will play a big role because.. There Is
  so many people out here in this world that have
  different religions and when you separate the
  different religions in this case you will have to
  separate your religions on different pieces of
  land.

  battles.

  take over his place. The society is kingless and
  has no one to take over and control.

23

  occurred was France. In 1328 the king of France
  died with no sons, and two men claimed his
  throne. One was French and the other was the king
  of England. In the end, the French man became
  king.

  other hand the kings power grew. During the war,
  the king had become popular with his nobles.

  them. As a result, the nobles supported the king
  after the war as well.

  soon, but for now we dont have it since it just
  died out in England and it will eventually
  migrate from place to place.

Black death
31
Black death

• Where it came from-the crisis was the black death
  a deadly plague that swept through Europe between
  1347-1351. it came from central Asia.
• How it spread

Traders unknowingly brought rats carrying the
disease to Mediterranean ports. From there it
quickly swept through much of Europe.
32
How many died

• The disease was- it was several forms of plague.
  One form called bubonic plague could be
  identified by swellings called buboes.
• the plague killed millions of people in Europe
  and millions more around the world . Europe lost
  a third of their population about 25 million.

33
What happened to it

• In most places the manor system fell apart
  completely. There weren't enough people to work
  the fields. Those peasants and surfs who survived
  the plague found their high skills demand wages
  for their labor. Once they had money many fled
  their manors completely, moving instead to
  Europe's growing cities. And they all cleaned up
  the towns of what they could and sanitized
  everything, it eventually faded away.
