6 The Four Horsemen Important image-Middle Ages the Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse. Riders represented the primary fears of the people of the Middle Ages: famine, war, pestilence, and death. –– Their appearance signaled the end of the world. During the 1300s it seemed as if the four horsemen had come to Western Europe.

7 Famine After 1300, Western Europe suffered a dramatic population decline. Population level had begun to outstrip the food supply. The Little Ice Age produced famine in the early decades of the 14th century, which began to reduce the population.

8 War Hundred Years War –began in 1337 had three basic causes: »– Rivalry over the provinces of Aquitaine and Gascony. »– The English kings attempt to take the French throne when the male Capetian line died out. »– Rivalry over the commercially rich territory of Flanders. The English claimed the throne of France –France fought for independence from England over the 122 years

10 English Conflicts with France Eng kings held fiefs from Fr kings. French rulers reclaimed most lands by early 13 th cent, Eng still held important lands in Aquitaine and Gascony. Fr and Eng clashed over control of the Flemish woolen industry- depends on Eng raw wool. Fr supported the efforts of the Scots to win independence from Eng- pissed Eng off. Braveheart- Scottish desire Independence from England

11 Beginnings of the War Estates General of France rejects Eng claim and selected as king, Philip of Valois, as heir to the Capetians royal line. Philip confiscated Eng held Aquitaine in 1337 on the grounds that Edward refused to honor his obligations as a vassal. Edward asserts his claim to Fr throne to go to war making good his claim.

12 First Phases of the War First phase of war lasted from was nearly fatal to Fr. Eng armies won great battles at Crecy in 1346 and Poitiers in –– French knights were completely routed by English longbow men. –– This helped put an end to knights on horseback as the dominant weapon of warfare.

13 Effects of the Battle of Poitiers At Poitiers, King John of France was captured and taken to England. Power in France now lay with the Estates General. –– In an attempt to increase their own power, the privileged classes forced the peasantry to pay higher taxes and to repair war-damaged property without being paid. –– A peasant revolt soon followed called the Jacquerie.

14 Treaty of Bretigny Eventually, John bought his release by accepting the Treaty of Bretigny (1360). John paid a huge ransom and gave Edward III full title to Guienne as well as a small territory in northern France, including the key port of Calais. In exchange, Edward, renounced his claim to the throne of France.

15 The Middle Years Treaty of Bretigny did not end the ancient rivalry. The next phase from 1364 to 1415 saw sporadic but indecisive fighting. Effective military action was impeded by serious internal problems in both of the rival kingdoms. France flourished under Charles V, who rebuilt French military power, but these gains were negated during the reign of Charles VI.

16 Civil Wars France –– Charles VI was only 15 when he came to the throne and was the victim of bouts with insanity. –– Rivals to the throne (Duke Philip of Burgundy and Duke Louis of Orleans) put France into a civil war. England –– After Edward IIIs death, the English war effort lessened partly because of domestic problems within England. –– During the reign of Richard II, England had peasant rebellions, when in 1381, lead by John Ball and Wat Tyler, peasants & artisans joined in a revolt. –– Parliament deposed Richard and elected Henry IV, whose sole right to rule was based on Parliaments approval. John Wycliff- many felt he inspired the rebelllion

18 The English Resurgence In 1415, Henry V reopens the 100 Yrs. War, when Eng invaded France and crushed a French army at Agincourt. With the help of the Burgundians, he controls most of Northern France In 1420, he forces the humiliating Treaty of Troyes on Charles VI and marries his daughter and they have a son and heir. Henry V and Charles VI died in 1422, leaving an infant as king of both nations.

19 Joan of Arc France will recover from what seemed like a disaster. In 1429, the dauphin Charles was visited by a young girl named Joan of Arc, who told him that she had seen a vision from God, revealing that Charles must free France and assume the throne that rightfully belonged to him. Joans message stirred hope into Charles. In 1429, the French along with Joan of Arc defeated the English at Orleans. This victory led to the coronation of Charles.

20 Trial of Joan of Arc These events marked the beginning of a series of French victories that Joan of Arc would not live to see. In 1430, Joan was captured by the Burgundians and handed over to the English. The English put Joan on trial before an ecclesiastical court that convicted her of heresy and ordered her burned at the stake in At her execution, one onlooker cried:We are lost, we have just killed a saint. –– Joan was granted sainthood in 1920.

21 Joan of Arc

22 French Victory In 1435, the duke of Burgundy made peace with Charles VII, and a united France went on a drove the English out of France except for the port city of Calais. The war officially ended in While France ended the war as a united country, England collapsed into a civil war.

24 English Civil War This conflict was known as the War of the Roses. It was a struggle for the throne by two families, the Yorks (represented by the white rose) and the Lancasters (represented by the red rose). In 1485, Henry Tudor, a member of the Lancaster family defeated the Yorkist king and married the daughter of a York unifying both families. The English people, tired of war and disorder, were willing to accept the strong government that Henry VII established. Henry Tudor Richard III

25 Death Although famine and war killed thousands of people, the most devastating catastrophe to Western Europe was called the Black Death. The Black Death was an epidemic of the Bubonic Plague that first spread over Europe and then returned periodically during the next two centuries. The disease was brought to Europe from the east by rats infested with fleas whose bites transmitted the bacilli to the human blood. Once the disease was loosed in western Europe, it caused and immense loss of life among a population made vulnerable by malnutrition and primitive sanitation conditions.

26 Effects of the Plague The disease struck with stunning speed. –– It took little more than 3 days to die from the disease. –– First there would be swelling and black bruises on the body. »» It attacked the lymph node system. –– Victims suffered heavy sweats and convulsive coughing. –– You would then vomit blood and die an agonizing death.

27 Results of the Plague The best estimate suggests that a third of Europes population was wiped out between 1347 and The Plague killed about 2/5 of Europes population. Some people turned to witchcraft and magic to stop the disease. Others believing that they would die soon anyway, plunged wildly into wild human pleasures. Others saw the plague as Gods punishment and whipped themselves to show they repented their sins. Many Christians blamed Jews for the disease saying that they had poisoned the well. –– Thousands of Jews were killed during this period.

28 Death The appearance of the Four Horsemen may have been for real during this period in European history. Europe lost over 40% of its population during the 14 th and early 15 th century. Effects of the of the Four Horsemen had a dramatic effect on Western Europe in regards to production, demand for goods, labor supply, prices, social relationships, and mass psychology.

33 Boniface VIII versus Philip IV As nationalism increased, papal claims to authority met with opposition. In 1294, Philip IV (the Fair) demanded that the clergy pay taxes to the national treasury. Boniface VIII hesitated to challenge Philip since France had long supported the popes against the German emperors. –– Still he feared that taxation of the clergy by national governments would weaken the power of the Church. In 1296, Boniface issued the Clericis Laicos, ordering the clergy not to pay taxes to Philip. Boniface VIII Phillip IV

34 The Conflict Begins Philip struck back at the Clericis Laicos by forbidding the export of gold and silver from France, thus cutting off payments to Boniface. –– Boniface was forced to modify his pronouncement by permitting the clergy to make voluntary contributions for the necessary defense of their lands. In 1302, Boniface issued the Unam Sanctum, stating that the power was supreme on earth in both spiritual and temporal matters.Unam Sanctum Philip called for a general council of the Church to bring Boniface to trial for heresy. –– Though seized by Philipss envoy, Boniface was quickly released but died soon after.
