CH5 Citizens, princes, and the pope

The time of Cities and States

What do these words mean?

What does that tell you about this period of time?

Can you already tell me what a big difference with the time of Monks and Knights might be?  

5.3 Cities are back! Trade is back!

What caused cities to come back? 

Please read the opening of 5.3 (p101)

Cog - medieval ship that carries a big load and travels both river and sea.

Questions that come to mind...

Why was a ship found on land (Flevoland) - how is that possible?

Why don't we know exactly how this ship was built?

Why was a ship like this not necessary during the time of Monks and Knights?

Taking notes with mindmaps

You need to stay active as you listen - it'll stick!

You can use your mindmap to revise 

Write as you go - but come back and update later!

Takeaway tips

Make a big fancy title

Use colours to make things stand out 

Use branches for different topics and ideas 

Only put the key things in, you dont need everything

A mindmap on...

Cities and trade make a comeback!

Reminder!

Many people left cities when the Roman army couldn't keep them safe. There was little trade (no safety!) and food could not get to cities anyway.

More food!

From the year 1000: the harvests in Europe got bigger! Why? 

- Making forest and swamp suitable for farming

- More horses and oxens are used for farming 

- Invention of the iron plough 

Food that was spare was sold on the market

Markets arose

New markets started 

- Near intersections of roads

- Near rivers

- Near castles 

- Near monasteries

New and old cities

New cities arose around markets

Less people need to be farmers because of all the food 

So cities grew more!

Even old cities grew back! 

Safety

It was safe enough for all of this because:

- There were no more mass migrations 

- The Vikings had stopped raiding

- Most people were Christian
