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).
