Today in class, we discussed the major power struggles that existed during the Middle Ages. They are between:

1. Popes vs. Kings

- at the beginning of the Middle Ages, who had more power?

- by the end of the Middle ages, who had more power?

2. Lords vs. Kings

- at the beginning of the Middle Ages, who had more power?

- by the end of the Middle ages, who had more power?

Next, students took out their guided notes that they completed from ABC-Clio (last week) on "Feudalism and the Three Orders" and the handout with the image of the 3 Pillars of the Middle Ages. We reviewed key definitions (vassal, fief, etc), and then continued our discussion of feudalism (see attached PowerPoint).
