Important Events in the "Middle Ages"

The Crusades: They were a group of people that had wars against European Christians, Muslims, Jerusalem, and the Holy Land as there prize. Even though they did not remain there power over Jerusalem. They had great succes with meeting with a Higher Civilization. Meeting a Higher Civilization they were able to get contact mathematics, astronomy, architecture, and cafts.



The Martyrdom of Thomas a Becket:Henry the second and Thomas a Becket had arguments about ruling the county because Henry was the King and Thomas was the Arch Bishop.Soon enough Thomas Becket the Arch Bishop was killed by some men that over heard King Henry the Second say that if he didn't have him around that ruling his country would be a lot easier. When this killing happen the Catholic church became bigger because one of their leaders were killed. I guess eventually they had to get someone to take his place. Thomas a Becket will never be forgotten the Catholic Church history.

The Magna Carta: This gave some of England's people some power and rights. The people became so furious at the Goverment for having so much power. They took it upon themselves to make the Goverment stop having so much power. From what the people did they rights such as trial by jury and also legislative taxation. I believe that England still goes by that today.

The Black Death: It was called the Bubonic Plauge and it was very contagious. It was a plauge that effected England. It took a third of England to it population fall. Fleas from infected rats effected the people and that was what started the plauge. Not everything was negative about this situation because it gave the lower class more leverage than ever before. This ended in 1349.
