Activity 3 - 3rd powerpoint 1) Feudalism was a social, political, and economic system that dominated all aspects of medieval life. ===‍2) The economic portion of feudalism was centered around the lord's estates or manor. === ===‍3) Spiritual: Religion was a central part of life for medieval people from baptism to marriage. Secular: In addition to being the social center of the village, the church had economic power and political power. The Church was the largest landholder, gained wealth through tithing and had its own laws and courts which frequently clashed with King’s authority. Some parish priests ran schools. === ===‍4) The reasons for the crusades were because the pope wanted to increase his power, nobles wanted to gain wealth, Serfs hoped to escape feudal oppression. === ===‍5) This fundamentally altered the way people lived in Europe, and marked the beginning of the end of feudalism as serfs began to pay their feudal obligations with cash instead of service. An economy based on money, not barter emerged. === ===‍6) It was a golden age in the arts, literature and sciences. Large city-states in northern Italy, Thriving centers of trade and manufacturing ===

‍8) Michelangelo, Leonardo da Vinci
===‍9) Books became more available, literacy increased, ideas spread rapidly. === ===‍10) Problems within the church. Corruption among church leaders. Increased fees for marriage, baptism and indulgences for the pardon of sins. === ===‍11) Promoted radical idea that faith in God alone, not the Pope granted pardon for sins. === ===‍12) Strengthen the Catholic Church and keep Catholics from converting to Protestantism ===
