Welcome back, future leaders!
For today’s warm-up please do the following:
• Grab your student log and notebook from the crates.
• Take out your homework - (Monday’s illuminated chivalry tale)
• Write in today’s date and objective on your student log.
• Open your notebook and respond to the following prompt:
The Middle Ages represent a bit of a lull in original thought
across Europe, but a 200-year long series of wars called the
Crusades is about to change all that. How could centuries of war
possibly help pull Europeans out of a “rut” in history? Write one
full paragraph.
Make effort, not excuses.
USE YOUR TIME WISELY!

Map activity!
Grab an atlas from the
shelf and open it to
pages 30 – 31. Use the
map there to answer
the questions listed on
your handout!
This is classwork, and classwork
earns PRIDE cards, sooooooo...
USE YOUR TIME WISELY!
The Crusades:
________________________________________________________
Why did the Crusades begin?
Feuding Feudalists:
The Crusades were a way
to get rid of warring knights
who threatened the stability
of kingdoms and the wealth
of the Church
Certainty of death,
*small* chance of
success... What are
we waiting for?
The Crusades:
________________________________________________________
Why did the Crusades begin?
The Holy Land:
A war to reclaim Christian “holy land”
(Jerusalem) from Muslims would unite the
Christian world
You have my
sword…
And my axe!
The Crusades:
________________________________________________________
Why did the Crusades begin?
Individual Motives:
Pope: Crusades would increase his power in Europe
Christians: Believed that their sins would be forgiven if they
fought in the Crusades
Nobles: Gained wealth and land by participating
Adventurers: A chance for travel and excitement
Serfs: Could escape feudal oppression by fighting
Merchants: New goods, markets, and consumers to give them
wealth
The Crusades:
________________________________________________________
Key Players:
Pope Urban II
Encouraged bishops to
retake the Holy Land at
the Council of Clermont –
launched the first, and
only truly successful,
Crusade
The Crusades:
________________________________________________________
Key Players:
Saladin (an honorary title which stands for “The Righteousness of the Faith”)
United the Muslim world
in the late 1100s and
led them in the Third
Crusade - seen as
heroic, honest,
compassionate, and
brave by Muslims and
Christians alike
The Crusades:
________________________________________________________
Key Players:
Richard the Lion-Hearted
Became King of England
in 1189 and battled
Saladin – advanced close
to Jerusalem, but never
reclaimed it –
slaughtered 3,000 men,
women, and children after
a successful siege of the
city of Acre
Yesh,
that’s me!

What else happened?
- Coined money increased in use
- The gold standard for currency was established in Europe
- Trade increased as European ports opened in the Middle East
- University learning was expanded as new concepts were introduced
- Shipbuilding and navigation both improved and increased
- Achievements in geography grew as the need for accurate maps increased
- Goods such as the handkerchief, rouge, henna, and glass mirrors were introduced to Europe
- Art: mosaics, stained glass windows are brought to Europe
- Music: the guitar and violin were introduced to Europe
- Math: Arabic numbers become the standard - decimals, trigonometry, algebra…
- Science: physics, astronomy, the pendulum, optics are brought to Europe
- Herbs and spices: cinnamon, cloves, mace, nutmeg, and pepper are tasted in Europe
- Foods: sugarcane, syrup, lemons, apricots, plums, dates, rhubarb, almonds, and watermelons
- Cloth: silk, linen, cotton, and velvet are brought to Europe
So Europe is slowly being pulled out of the “Dark Ages” by…
CULTURAL DIFFUSION!
