    Landowners bought larger pieces of land to use as fields for farming called enclosures. People also thought of different methods for farming that produced more crops. A horse-drawn seed drill was invented to plant seeds in straight rows. Farmers also used crop rotation, rotating where crops were planted each year. Crop rotation allows the soil to keep its nutrients and remain healthy. “This country so famous in the farming world...The great improvements have been made by the following methods: by enclosing without the help from Parliament, by the introduction of a four year rotation of crops, by growing turnips, clover and ryegrass, by the country being divided chiefly into large farms.” (doc 8) England was able to produce more crops.…

    The legacy of the Middle Ages, while being debatable, is most closely tied to that of an “Age of Faith” due to the Roman Catholic Church’s power over most aspects of medieval culture. From the 5th to the 15th century, Christianity reigned over any other structures that had power over the Medieval Era, allowing the church to have the most lasting impact on the age and most other time periods that followed. The church was able to outlast any dark or golden age, overpower the feudal system, and gain the complete and utter faith of most people in Europe, giving the age its ultimate title as one of faith.…

    During the Medieval period, European society was divided into three estates. The first estate included the Holy church, and it made up about 5-10% of the population. The second estate was the nobles, knights, and warrior, and they also made up 5-10% of the population. The majority of the population was made up of the commons, the third estate. The only form if government the medieval times had was feudalism. Feudalism is a loose system of government where vassals give their obedience and service in exchange for land and protection. This form of government helped the lesser lords.…

    Fourteenth century Europe could be best described as the “Dark Ages” of Europe. Between 1300 and 1450, Europe experienced series of catastrophic moments from economic difficulties, plague, war to increased crime and violence. The Black Death caused Florence to lost between one half and two-thirds of its 1347 population of 85,000. War also played an important part in Europe’s history. The Hundred Years’ Year (1337-1453) brought social and economic difficulties to both France and England. In France, hundred and thousands of acres of farmland were destroyed turning France into a shamble. Although the war provided unusual opportunities for all social groups, when the war ended knights and nobles went back…

    Without the chaos in Europe during the fourteenth century, Europe would not have become a newly unified power. Famine, cold, wet, and deadly conditions set place in Europe during the middle ages. Poor leadership and unlucky sequences caused the massive economic/political meltdown in Europe and the consequences were immensely costly to the general population for more than a 100 years. Northern Europe endured a large economic turnaround during the Little Ice Age because they heavily relied on agriculture. Agriculture became a growing concern due to the cold weather and the lack of production caused shortages which resulted in The Great Famine. The lack of food caused the prices to rise and since the general population already suffered from the appalling economy, they could not afford the prices which made them resort to violence and disturbing food selections. Disease from Asia mainly known as the Black Plague riddled Northern Europe causing a large population decrease and a change in balance of power.…

    Design and architecture was also an important part of medieval European culture. The plague tore at the lavish artistic European lifestyle in another very evident way. It halted the production of intricate, aesthetically pleasing architecture. It is known that, “because of the Black Death and the recession the building industry was also affected. Building in the medieval Europe would never be as extravagant as in the century before the Black Death. If the Black Death did indeed have a direct impact on landowner building practices, it was chiefly in the area of self defense.” The plague pressured people to begin designing more practical, stronger buildings that would be able to protect them from the inescapable wrath of the Plague. This lead…
