Travelling government
  • Charlemagne's empire was very large:

  • But it was too slow and took a lot of time
  • There had to be a better way...

Slide 12 - Diapositive

McDonald's
Imagine that you are the boss of McDonald's. Then you have 37,000 restaurants in 120 countries.
It is, of course, very difficult to manage all these restaurants on your own.
So what is a good solution to this problem?

You let some people help you! You lend the restaurants to 120 people who arrange everything in their country! They get to choose, for example, what is on the menu and how it is advertised. In exchange, they only have to give you a part of the money.

That's also how Charlemagne ruled the Frankish empire!

Slide 13 - Diapositive

The feudal system
  • Charlemagne asked for help from the nobility
  • He gave authority over a territory to nobleman
  • The area remained Charlemagne's, but they were allowed to loan it.
  • We call this the feudal system or feudalism
You could become a count or a duke:
  • Count: The boss of a small area, a county. This was less important
  • Duke: The boss of a large area, a duchy (e.g. Brabant). This was very important

  • First wooden buildings, but later real castles

Slide 25 - Diapositive

Knights
  • In the Middle Ages (500-1500), knights were the most powerful part of the armies in Europe
  • The first knights were soldiers from the armies of the noblemen
  • From 1100 onwards, only noblemen could become knights
  • They had to behave chivalrously: brave, loyal and just.

Knights wore helmets to protect themselves
on their bodies, knights wore iron armour
