 * In this picture is a castle built during the 12th Century in Carcasses France. In exchange for loyalty and service the Feudal Lords protected everyone who lived and worked inside the walls of the castle. This castle was conquered in 1209 by the army of Simon de Montfort IV but withstood many other attacks and was restored in the late 19th century. The purpose of this castle was not only for housing the lords but was to protect those who lived in it and who worked at it. The ecomoical impact was from the manors having serfs and peasents to work their lands and produce crops.Which then led to more trade, which gained money and other gifts. The social impact was from the cannons bombing the castless which could kill anyone in the castle. ALso the wars around the manors trying to take them over. Which killed many people. || This picture represents what happened in the Hundred Years War. It was a series of battles fought from 1337 to 1453 between England and France. England and France had long been rivals. The first set of conflicts started when the death of the last Capetian king of France, Charles IV. One of the next to inherit the throne after Charles died in 1328 was England's king, Edward III, a nephew of Charles and a grandson of Philip IV. Therefore a legitimate successor. The French nobles decided that Philip VI would be the next to take the throne. Although Edward is unhappy with his decision to accept the choice of the French peers. When Philip attacked Edward's land, Edward invaded France and he claimed the right to the French throne causing the first phase of the war. Battle of Crécy in 1346 was the first maor war ending in a victory for the English. The English defeated the French and killed thousands of French soldiers along with French Nobles and John II the French king. Warfare was a costly enterprise for both sides even though the English had been winning. in 1389 a truce was signed, but once again the two sides could not last at peace. In 1415 Henry V claimed his right to the French throne and led the invasion into France. English victories followed, leading to the Treaty of Troyes. Each kingdom emerged from the Hundred Years' War. During the remainder of the 15th century, England spent much of the time in the War of the Roses. || In this picture is in Milan, Italy. You see depicting torture and execution of men accused of infecting others with the plague known as the Black Death. Across Europe Jews, vagabonds, and witches were accused of trying to purposely spread the disease around. While others saw the plague as God's punishment for human wickedness. There are three forms of plague and twenty five million people had died within two to seven days after being diagnosed with the disease. All three forms were caused by bacillus, Yersinia pestis a bacterium that typically lives in the bloodstream of rodents.It is believed that the first outbreak of the Black Death was in Central Asia but eventually spread to North Africa, and the Near East, North Africa and most of Europe with an exception of Poland. The impact of the Black Death varied widely between areas. Some places were hit lightly where not to many people where sick but other areas were hit very hard killing most of the people in the communities to the point that villages had to be completely abandoned. Economically, the immediate effect of the Black Death caused prices to drop and there was a low demand for goods and services because if the low population. Later on the prices rose back up as a result of a lack of workers. Another result of the plague was a transfer of wealth to families.1351 marked the last major outbreak of this plague. ||
