Germanic Kingdoms Unite Under Charlemagne(NO ZOMBIES)
- The Middle ages(roughly 500 AD-1500 AD)
- The term Medieval simply means "of or relating to the middle ages"
- The dark ages was the period in Western Europe between 500 (the fall of Rome) and 1000 AD
- The dark ages
- Magyars and vikings raided western European church monasteries and destroyed many of these centers of learning
- Due to this, Europe was thrown backwards in time where science culture and learning were not focused on as much as they had been with Ancient Rome and Greece
- The invasions and fall of the Roman Empire caused the following problems in Europe-
- The disruption of trade
- centralized Roman authority broke down and with it went the protection of trade
- without Roman power and protection, roads and trade routes were no longer safe
- without trade and commerce, the economy tanked
- downfall of cities
- with the disruption of trade, cities were no longer the vital economic centers
- with the breakdown of central Roman authority, cities were no longer needed as centers of government
- people moved to the countryside
- London, Paris, Rome, Florence, Milan, among others were still around
- population shifts
- with the cities no longer the important places they once were, people started migrating to the country
- they could grow their own food and felt safer there
- decline of learning
- The Germanic "barbarians"could not read or write
- The Germanic languages started becoming important, but they lacked a writing system
- Important info was all in Latin or Greek
- The science and philosophy of ancients Greece/Rome got ignored/lost as the Germanic people didn't have much use for it
- Church leaders were the only people that remained educated
- loss of common language
- As the Roman Empire was divided among the different Germanic tribes, the Latin language started evolving differently i n the different regions
- The changes came partly from the separation among the peoples as well as the influence of the Germanic peoples living in the particular areas
- these dialects became the Romance languages
- decline of infrastructur
- all the great public works fell into disrepair;the aqueducts, the public baths, libraries, arenas, etc
- The Germanic leaders didn't really destroy them, they just didn't see the need to maintain them or spend money to do so
- it didn't help that thing were mainly located in cities, which people were leaving
- The disruption of trade
- Germanic tribes
- unlike the Roman Empire, the Germanic tribes focused on family ties and personal loyalty to unify society
- every Germanic chief led a band of warriors ho had pledged their loyalty to him
- in peace time, these followers lived in theirs lords hall and were provided food, weapons, and treasure by their cheif
