Recognize Cause and Effect Explain at least one cause and effect of the Papal Schism of 1378.

In 1309, Pope Clement V, a Frenchman, moved the papal court from Rome to Avignon, France. While in Avignon, many clerics grew to adopt a more secular lifestyle. Even many Avignon popes lived very lavishly. Anticlerical sentiment grew and led many in the Church to seek reform. In 1378, reformers elected their own pope to rule from Rome; French cardinals responded by choosing a rival. Compounding the schism was the fact that legitimate leaders of the Church had elected both popes.

Summarize Explain how Muslim scholars advanced medieval thought.

Muslim scholars had translated works of Aristotle and other Greek thinkers into Arabic.

Finally, Europeans adopted the Arabic numeral system over the ancient and cumbersome Roman numeral system.

Categorize The Crusades resulted in dramatic changes throughout medieval Europe. Describe two positive and two negative effects of these changes on the lives of Europeans.

Positive effects: The Crusades encouraged the growth of a money economy because nobles needed money to finance their journeys to the Middle East. They therefore allowed peasants to pay rents in money rather than grain or labor, a practice that began to undermine serfdom. Also, contact with Muslims led Europeans to realize that other cultures existed. This helped remove Europe from centuries of isolation. In addition, trade increased and expanded after crusaders brought luxuries back from the Middle East. Negative effects: Both Muslims and Christians committed atrocities in the name of religion. Some crusaders in Europe massacred communities of Jews. The Crusades left a legacy of religious hatred among Christians, Jews, and Muslims. Also, the fourth crusade pushed the Byzantine and Roman churches farther apart after crusaders looted Constantinople.

Determine Relevance How did the Domesday Book help to establish the power of the English monarchy?

The Domesday Book, commissioned by William the Conqueror, was a listing of every castle, field, and pigpen in England. Information in the book allowed William(and later monarchs)to build an efficient system of tax collection. This increased the wealth and power of the monarchy.

Recognize Cause and Effect Explain how the Hundred Years' War caused the political systems in England and France to develop differently.

The war created a growing sense of national feeling in France, increasing the power of French kings. However, since English rulers had to turn to Parliament for funds to fight the war, it helped Parliament win the power of the purse. This gave Parliament greater political power. Also, after England lost its French lands, English rulers turned their attention to new trading ventures overseas.
