A feudal household could be quite large. Important nobles could have a household of as many as200 people. This meant a lot of management. Some of the work had to be delegated to variouspeople, such as those in charge of the preparation and serving of food and wine or the manufactureand maintenance of clothing and linens. These people, in turn, made sure that the work was done. Inaddition, enormous quantities of food had to be gathered and purchased. Guests had to be enter-tained by musicians and performers. Horses and livestock had to be overseen, and farm work carriedout and supervised. Children needed to be cared for and educated. Rooms had to be cleaned andwarmed. Often, a chapel operated as a church and was attended at least once a day. Letters to lordsand vassals had to be written. Rents had to be collected.

An Italian Writer Describes the Black Death
Giovanni Boccaccio was a thirteenth century Italian writer who wroteDecameron, the story of a group of men and women who survive theBlack Death by fleeing their city. Read this excerpt from the introduc-tion of his book to learn more about what it was like during the time of thisterrible epidemic.
Guided Reading In this selection, read to understand some of the effects of an epidemic plague on people in theMiddle Ages.
The symptoms were not the same as in theEast, where a gush of blood from the nose wasthe plain sign of inevitable death; but it beganboth in men and women with certain swellingsin the groin or under the armpit. They grew tothe size of a small apple or an egg, more or less,and were vulgarly called tumours. In a shortspace of time these tumours spread from the twoparts named all over the body. Soon after thisthe symptoms changed and black or purplespots appeared on the arms or thighs or anyother part of the body, sometimes a few largeones, sometimes many little ones. These spotswere a certain sign of death, just as the originaltumour had been and still remained.
No doctors advice, no medicine could over-come or alleviate this disease, An enormousnumber of ignorant men and women set up asdoctors in addition to those who were trained.Either the disease was such that no treatmentwas possible or the doctors were so ignorant thatthey did not know what caused it, and conse-quently could not administer the proper remedy.In any case very few recovered; most peopledied within about three days of the appearanceof the tumours described above, most of themwithout any fever or other symptoms.
The violence of this disease was such thatthe sick communicated it to the healthy whocame near them, just as a fire catches anythingdry or oily near it. And it even went further. Tospeak to or go near the sick brought infectionand a common death to the living; and to touchthe clothes or anything else the sick had touchedor worn gave the disease to the person touching.
...Such fear and fanciful notions took posses-sion of the living that almost all of them adoptedthe same cruel policy, which was entirely to
avoid the sick and everything belonging tothem. By so doing, each one thought he wouldsecure his own safety.
Some thought that moderate living and theavoidance of all superfluity [non-essentials]would preserve them from the epidemic. Theyformed small communities, living entirely sepa-rate from everybody else. They shut themselvesup in houses where there were no sick, eatingthe finest food and drinking the best wine verytemperately, avoiding all excess, allowing nonews or discussion of death and sickness, andpassing the time in music and suchlike plea-sures. Others thought just the opposite. Theythought the sure cure for the plague was todrink and be merry, to go about singing andamusing themselves, satisfying every appetitethey could, laughing and jesting at what hap-pened. They put their words into practice, spentday and night going from tavern to tavern,drinking immoderately, or went into other peo-ples houses, doing only those things whichpleased them. This they could easily do becauseeveryone felt doomed and had abandoned hisproperty, so that most houses became commonproperty and any stranger who went in madeuse of them as if he had owned them. And withall this bestial [animal] behaviour, they avoidedthe sick as much as possible.
In this suffering and misery of our city, theauthority of human and divine laws almost dis-appeared, for, like other men, the ministers andthe executors of the laws were all dead or sick orshut up with their families, so that no dutieswere carried out. Every man was therefore ableto do as he pleased.
Many others adopted a course of life mid-way between the two just described. They did

A Day in the Life: Europe in the Middle Ages
Cooperative Learning Activity 10
BACKGROUNDEuropean society during the medieval period was characterized by rigidly stratifiedclasses. The class divisions were derived from the feudal system and were com-prised of king and queen, clergy, noble lords and ladies, rural peasants or serfs, andthe few merchant or craftsman freemen and their families. By working as a groupto create a five-minute play that illustrates life in the Middle Ages, you will learnmore about medieval life and society.
GROUP DIRECTIONS1. As a group, review the roles and classes that made up medieval society in the
High Middle Ages from about A.D. 1000 and 1300. Use your textbook chapters 9and 10 as a quick reference.
2. Brainstorm ideas for a short dramatic presentation that would illustrate rolesand interactions among classes. Be specific about scene, plot, and characters.Describe how the characters would interact and what they would say.
3. Create a script and assign all group members roles in the play. You might wantto assign a group leader role to one member to act as director and to another asscript or dialogue coach to help individual actors write and deliver their linesand rehearse their roles. Possible roles include the following.rural peasant priestmerchant or craftsman monklord/noble lady/nobleknight king or queenbishop nun
Your plot and dialog should showcase the different, yet interdependent classesthat existed in medieval society. The more interaction among the characters and classes that you can build into your drama or comedy, the better your playwill be.
4. Present your play to the class. Use props or costume enhancements where possible.
ORGANIZING THE GROUP1. Group Work/Decision Making As a group, appoint a director to oversee the
development of the script and the details of the short play. Brainstorm possiblescenarios in which medieval roles and characters might interact. Decide on abasic setting and plot for the play. Create a list of characters, with names, to fitinto your scene and setting. Assign roles to individuals and let them improviseand spontaneously play act some possible dialogue and plot ideas. The charac-ters might want to use jot notes to record their lines. Create a final version ofthe script from which all the actors will rehearse.

Old and New Solutions for the Problem of Poverty
Critical Thinking
Directions: Answer the following questionson a separate sheet of paper.1. Making comparisons: Compare the
sources of money for poor relief in theMiddle Ages with those in modern times.
2. Making inferences: Why do you thinkhelping the poor is important to the wellbeing of a community or state?
3. Synthesizing information: Why did theleaders of medieval towns take stepsagainst paupers? Do research in the libraryand on the Internet to discover which legalmeasuresbesides banishmentweretaken against petty criminals and vagrants.Write a brief report of your findings andexplain how harsh punishment might havecontributed to a rise in the crime rate.
Then In the late Middle Ages, when townsand cities began to develop around local mar-ket centers, a variety of charitable institutionsbegan to spring up. Hospitals and almshouseswere the most prevalent of these institutions.Originally, hospitals served any person whowas in need of either health care or shelter.Almshouses provided food, clothing, and shelter.
Lay people, as well as religious leaders,founded, supported, and served in these insti-tutions. Some lay people joined the clergy incharitable organizations called confraternities.Guilds established almshouses for impover-ished members and made loans to thosetemporarily out of work. Guilds also set asidefunds to support the widows and orphans ofdeceased members. City governments ranoffices that were dedicated to the relief ofpoverty. Cities also contributed money to thecharitable organizations run by individualsand trade organizations. Wealthy people oftenwilled small annual donations to the poor intheir parish.
As urban populations increased, an ever-growing number of poor people furtherstrained the resources of the different supportgroups. In order to make the distribution ofrelief to the poor more efficient and effective,city governments began to take on a greaterrole in distributing aid than did private organi-zations.
Some civic leaders began to view paupersas potential revolutionaries and/or criminals.To reduce the threat of social unrest, civic lead-ers designed work programs for beggars andbanished them from the city if they refused towork.
Now Providing for the poor in modern societyhas become a highly centralized function.Although private and religious organizationsstill play a significant role in fighting poverty,the governments of nations have taken overmost of the job. In the United States, individualstates make the welfare laws; the federal gov-ernment provides the funds necessary to enactthe different welfare programs.
Most of the Western democracies help theircitizens through illness, unemployment, oldage, and other periods of financial insecurity.In some countries, the government provides itscitizens with medical care. All democratic gov-ernments offer a free education through atleast secondary school.
Citizens pay taxes to support the benefitsthey enjoy. Lately, an influx of immigrants todeveloped nations has placed a heavy burdenon these nations welfare systems. Since manyimmigrants are unable to secure employmentthat pays a living wage, they depend uponpublic assistance. Some people consider this tobe unfair, arguing that newcomers to a countryshould not automatically be supported by thatcountry. Yet others believe that public assis-tance should be available to all people wholive in a country. Most immigrants however,regardless of their income level, still pay theirshare of taxes.
Lately, government officials have begun toreconsider many welfare policies. Politicalleaders in the United States have pointed outthat issuing welfare checks has created a cul-ture of dependent people. Consequently, theyhave enacted work programs designed to takepeople off welfare. In countries with moderatesocialist governmentssuch as Swedensome citizens have become willing to give uptheir benefits in exchange for lower taxes.

Troubadour music was composed by and for theupper classes. Knights possessed vast wealthand leisure time, both of which they liked to display.In addition to giving lavish banquets, they pursuedthe arts in order to gain a reputation for being cul-tured. Around this time, upper-class women beganto be revered and referred to as ladies.
The words in a troubadours song were of foremostimportance. The music was simple so that it would not
interfere with the poetry. The poems tended to beabout courtly and chivalrous love, in which a lady wasworshiped from afar with great respect and dignity.The object of the troubadours affection was depictedas so perfect that she was unobtainable. These werenot despondent poems, howeverthe troubadourwas content never to possess his beloved. Often thetroubadour would imply that he would be dis-appointed or disillusioned if she accepted his offers.
TroubadoursSometime during the mid1000s, poet-musicians called troubadours began
to appear in southern France. Most were male members of the nobility. Somewrote songs, some sang, and some both wrote and sang. Occasionally, trouba-dours accompanied themselves on stringed instruments. Their songswhichwere written in the everyday language of the peoplewere at first taught orallyand memorized. It was not until much later that these songs were written.What this meant was that a troubadour could easily change the words of asong to suit his circumstances. Amazingly, more than 2,500 songs survive.
DIRECTIONS: Read the passage below about these travelling musicians. Thenanswer the questions in the space provided.

Whether lifting our eyes to the soaringnave vaults, or peering into the depths ofthe aisles, the whole atmosphere is one ofreligious mystery. . . . [One] cannot butexperience a little of that unearthly joy sokeenly felt by the devotees of our cathe-dral. What impression do these words byEtienne Houvet, curator of Chartres, giveof this French cathedral?
Reflecting the central role of the Churchin peoples lives during the Middle Ages,cathedrals were built for the glory of God.During the A.D. 1100s, a new system ofconstruction that originated in France
Gothic Cathedrals

Gothic design broke free of the thick central walls and heavy, rounded arches that characterized Romanesque cathedrals.
Ribbed vaults brought new height to cathedral ceilings with support from pointed arches. The arches were formed by narrow stone ribs that extended from tall pillars.

Flying buttresses helped open up the interior space. These stone beams supported the main walls which could then enclose stained-glass windows.

signaled a change in architectural stylefrom Roman to Gothic. The Gothic style ofarchitecture would allow people to achievenew heights in honoring God.
A fine example of Gothic architecture, OurLady of Chartres was rebuilt following a firein A.D. 1194. The new structure, with a vaultthat reaches 11 stories into the sky, attests tothe success of medieval builders in devisingnew ways to distribute the weight of cathe-dral walls. Ribbed vaults, pointed arches,and flying buttresses allowed stained-glasswindows to fill the interior with light andthe walls to stretch to the heavens.

She was beautiful and just, imposing and modest, hum-ble and elegant . . . who surpassed almost all the queensof the world.
nuns of Fontevrault in their obituary of Eleanor of Aquitaine
Eleanor of Aquitaine had many impres-sive titles in her life, including queenofboth France and England. Her remarkableaccomplishments and turbulent life contin-ue to intrigue people even today, 800 yearsafter her death.
Eleanor was born to a royal family andgrew up in an atmosphere of poetry, litera-ture, and music. Singers and poets wereoften in her home. Her education was notconfined to needlework, as often happenedwith young women at the time. In fact, shelearned to read and write both Latin andProvenal, the local French dialect. By allaccounts, she was beautiful, industrious,and intelligent.
Upon the sudden death of her father,Eleanor became engaged to Louis VII, theonly surviving son of the king of France.They were married in 1137, when Eleanorwas just 15 and Louis was 16. One weekafter the wedding, Louiss father died, andEleanor found herself married to the newking of France. Masterful and energetic,Eleanor exercised much control over herhusbandand thereby over France. WhenEleanor accompanied Louis on the SecondCrusade to Antioch, a disagreement grewbetween them on strategic policy, whichwas fueled by his intense jealousy. Theirmarriage ended in annulment in 1152.
Less than twomonths later, 29-year-old Eleanor marriedthe 18-year-oldgrandson of KingHenry I of England.Two years later, herhusband became KingHenry II, and Eleanorwas now queen ofEngland. Eleanor was more than 10 yearsolder than her husband, but their marriagewas reasonably happy for 15 years, withEleanor bearing 5 sons and 3 daughters.
Eleanor separated from Henry andmoved back to France in 1168, when shediscovered Henry had a mistress. Legend,which is not substantiated by historians,states that she ruled at Poitiers over a socie-ty of troubadours, knights, and fair ladieswho participated in courts of love. Morelikely she spent time undermining the loy-alty of two of her sons to their father. In1173, these two sons attempted to seize hisFrench lands, sparking an uprising againstHenry in England. Henry squelched therebellion, captured Eleanor, and put her inprison for her role in the affair. Over time,her confinement was relaxed, and Eleanorlived a life of semifreedom.
Eleanor lived to see her sons Richard Iand John crowned kings of England and tosee her granddaughter marry the futureLouis VIII of France. She died at the age of82 and was buried between her estrangedhusband Henry II and her son Richard I.

Critical Thinking Skills Activity 10 Evaluating Information
Evaluating information means analyzingwhat you read and then drawing conclu-sions about it. It may also involve recogniz-
There was a monk; a nonpareil was he, Who rode, as steward of his monastery,The country round; a lover of good sport,A manly man, and fit to be an abbot.Hed plenty of good horses in his stable,And when he went out riding, you could hearHis bridle jingle in the wind, as clearAnd loud as the monastery chapel-bell.Inasmuch as he was keeper of the cell,The rule of St. Maurus or St. BenedictBeing out of date, and also somewhat strict,This monk I speak of let old precepts slide,And took the modern practice as his guide.He didnt give so much as a plucked henFor the maxim, Hunters are not pious men,Or A monk whos heedless of his regimenIs much the same as a fish out of water,
In other words, a monk out of his cloister.But thats a text he thought not worth an oyster;And I remarked his opinion was sound.What use to study, why go round the bendWith poring over some book in a cloister,Or drudging with his hands, to toil and labourAs Augustine bids? How shall the world go on?You can go keep your labour, Augustine!So he rode hardno question about thatKept greyhounds swifter than a bird in flight.Hard riding, and the hunting of the hare,Were what he loved, and opened his purse for.I noticed that his sleeves were edged and trimmedWith squirrel fur, the finest in the land.For fastening his hood beneath his chin,He wore an elaborate golden pin,Twined with a love-knot at the larger end.
DIRECTIONS: The following passage from Geoffrey Chaucers The Canterbury Talesdescribes a medieval monk. After you have read the excerpt, evaluate the informa-tion given in the poem.
ing whether the author is biased in anyway, even in descriptions.
1. What does this monk like more than anything else?
2. What does this monk think of the rules of his order?
3. What does this monk look like? What is he wearing and what animals does he have?
4. Look at Section 4 on the reasons why there were calls for reform. Evaluate the descrip-tion of the monk in terms of the corruption of the Church. Why might a reformer objectto the monks appearance and behavior?

Social Studies Objective: The student will interpret maps to answer geographic questions, infergeographic relationships, and analyze geographic change.
Cartographers draw maps to scale. On each map, a measured distance will represent a fixeddistance on the earth. For example, one inch on a map may represent 100 miles; however, onanother map, one inch might represent 1,000 miles. This relationship, or scale of distance, often isshown on a map scalea line with numbers specifying the unit of measurement and the numberof miles or kilometers this unit represents. On some maps, the scale appears as a fraction.
Practicing the SkillDIRECTIONS: Study the map on this page andcomplete the activity.
Learning to Use a Map ScaleTo measure distances on a map, use the following guidelines.
Find the map scale or scale fraction. Identify the unit of measurement and the
distance that unit represents. Using this unit of measurement, measure the
distance between two points on the map. Multiply that number by the number of
miles or kilometers represented by each unit.
ACTIVITY 10Reading a Map Scale
There are as many different kinds of maps asthere are uses for them. Being able to read a mapbegins with learning about its parts. The map keyunlocks the information presented on the map.On this map of Germany, for example, dots markcities and towns.
On a road map, the key tells what map linesstand for paved roads, dirt roads, and interstatehighways. A pine tree symbol may represent a park,while an airplane is often the symbol for an airport.
The compass rose is a direction marker. Amap has a symbol that tells you where thecardinal directionsnorth, south, east, andwestare positioned. An intermediate direction,such as southeast, may also be on the compassrose. Intermediate directions fall between thecardinal directions.

Life in Londonn the twelfth century, William Fitz-Stephen spoke of Lon-don as one of the noblest cities of the world: It is happy
in the healthiness of its air, in the Christian religion, in thestrength of its defences, the nature of its site, the honor of itscitizens, the modesty of its women; pleasant in sports; fruit-ful of noble men.
To Fitz-Stephen, London offered a number of opportunitiesand pleasures: Practically anything that man may need isbrought daily not only into special places but even into theopen squares, and all that can be sold is loudly advertised forsale. Any man, according to Fitz-Stephen, if he is not agood-for-nothing, may earn his living expenses and esteemaccording to his station.
Sporting events and leisure activities were available inevery season of the year: In Easter holidays they fight battleson water. In summer, the youths are exercised in leaping,dancing, shooting, wrestling, casting the stone; the maidensdance as long as they can well see. In winter, when thegreat fen, or moor, which waters the walls of the city on thenorth side, is frozen, many young men play upon the ice;some, striding as wide as they may, do slide swiftly.
To Fitz-Stephen, every convenience for human pleasure isknown to be at hand in London.

Somersaulting was done for entertainment and leisure in medieval London.
Why It MattersOne would hardly know from Fitz-Stephens cheerful description thatmedieval cities faced overcrowdedconditions, terrible smells from rot-ting garbage, and the constant threatof epidemics and fires. The rise ofcities was one aspect of the newburst of energy and growth thatcharacterized European civilizationin the High Middle Ages, the periodfrom about 1000 to 1300. Newfarming practices, the growth oftrade, and a growing population created a vigorous European society.

One monk reported in the twelfth century how his monastery used a local streamto grind grain and make cloth:
Entering the Abbey under the boundary wall, the stream first hurls itself at the millwhere in a flurry of movement it strains itself, first to crush the wheat beneath theweight of the millstones, then to shake the fine sieve which separates flour frombran. . . . The stream is not yet discharged. The fullers [people who finished the manu-facture of woolen cloth] located near the mill beckon to it. One by one it lifts anddrops the heavy pestles, the fullers great wooden hammers. How many horses wouldbe worn out, how many men would be weary if this graceful river, to whom we oweour clothes and food, did not labor for us.
The Medieval Machine, Jean Gimpel, 1976
Gradually, the growth of trade and manufacturing and the rise of towns laid thefoundations for the transformation of Europe from a rural, agricultural society to amore urban, industrial one.
The New AgricultureIn the early Middle Ages, Europe had a relatively small population. In the High
Middle Ages, however, population increased dramatically. The number of peoplealmost doubled between 1000 and 1300, from 38 million to 74 million people.

of labor-saving devices. For example, the people of theMiddle Ages harnessed the power of water and windto do jobs once done by human or animal power.
Many of these new devices were made from iron,which was mined in various areas of Europe. Iron wasused to make scythes, axes, and hoes for use on farms,as well as saws, hammers, and nails for building. Ironwas crucial in making the carruca, a heavy, wheeledplow with an iron plowshare. Unlike earlier plows,this plow could easily turn over heavy clay soils.
Because of the weight of the carruca, six or eightoxen were needed to pull it. However, oxen wereslow. Two new inventions for the horse made it possi-ble to plow faster. A new horse collar spread theweight around the shoulders and chest rather than
What caused this huge increase in population? Forone thing, conditions in Europe were more settledand peaceful after the invasions of the early MiddleAges had stopped. This increased peace and stabilityalso led to a dramatic expansion in food productionafter 1000.
In part, food production increased because achange in climate during the High Middle Agesimproved growing conditions. In addition, moreland was cultivated as peasants of the eleventh andtwelfth centuries cut down trees and drainedswamps. By 1200, Europeans had more land forfarming than they do today.
Changes in technology also aided the developmentof farming. The Middle Ages witnessed an explosion

Harnessing the Power of Water and Wind
Watermills use the power of running water to do work.The watermill was invented as early as the second cen-tury B.C. It was not used much in the Roman Empire becausethe Romans had many slaves and had no need to mechanize.In the High Middle Ages, watermills became easier to build asthe use of metals became more common. In 1086, the surveyof English land known as the Domesday Book listed about six thousand watermills in England.
Located along streams, mills powered by water were at first used togrind grains for flour. Gradually, mill operators were able to mechanizeentire industries. Waterpower was used in mills for making cloth and insawmills for cutting wood and stone, as well as in the working of metals.
Rivers, however, were not always available. Where this was the case,Europeans developed windmills to harness the power of the wind. Histori-ans are unsure whether windmills were imported into Europe (they wereinvented in Persia) or designed independently by Europeans. Like thewatermill, the windmill was first used for grinding grains. Later, however,windmills were used for pumping water and even cutting wood. However,they did not offer as great a range of possible uses as watermills.
The watermill and windmill were the most important devices for har-nessing power before the invention of the steam engine in the eighteenthcentury. Their spread had revolutionary consequences, enabling Europeansto produce more food and to more easily manufacture a wide array of prod-ucts.

I. The New Agriculture (pages 315317)
A. The number of people almost doubled in Europe between 1000 and 1300, from 38 to 74million people. One reason is that increased stability and peace enabled food produc-tion to rise dramatically.
B. Food production increased also because a climate change improved growing condi-tions, and more land was cleared for cultivation. Europe had more farmland in 1200than it does today.
C. Technological changes also aided farming. Water and wind power began to do jobsonce done by humans or animals. Also, iron was used to make scythes, axes, hoes,saws, hammers, and nails. Most importantly it was used to make the carruca, a heavy,wheeled plow with an iron plowshare pulled by animal teams. A new horse collar thatdistributed the weight throughout the horses shoulders and the horseshoe allowedhorses to replace the slow oxen to pull the extremely heavy carruca.
D. Using this heavy-wheeled plow led to the growth of farming villages. The plow wasso expensive that communities bought one plow. People also shared animals. The shiftfrom a two-field to a three-field system of crop rotation also increased food produc-tion. Earlier, peasants had one part of their field lie fallow and the other wascultivated. Now, one part of the field was planted in the fall with grains for a summerharvest, a second part was planted in spring with different grains for a fall harvest,and the third would lie fallow. Only one-third of the land now was not being used,and the rotation kept the soil from being exhausted so quickly.

and be subject to the lords control. By 800, probably 60percent of the people of western Europe were serfs.
A serfs labor services included working the lordsland. The lords land made up one-third to one-halfof the cultivated land scattered throughout themanor. The rest of the estate's land was used by thepeasants to grow food for themselves. Such tasks asbuilding barns and digging ditches were also part ofthe labor services. Serfs usually worked about threedays a week for their lords.
The serfs paid rents by giving the lords a share ofevery product they raised. Serfs also paid the lordsfor the use of the manors common pasturelands,streams, ponds, and surrounding woodlands. If aserf fished in the pond or stream on a manor, heturned over part of the catch to his lord. Peasantswere also obliged to pay a tithe (a tenth of their pro-duce) to their local village churches.
In the feudal contract, lords and vassals were tiedtogether through mutual obligations to each other.On individual estates, lords had a variety of legalrights over their serfs. Serfs could not leave themanor without the lords permission and could notmarry anyone outside the manor without the lordsapproval. Lords often had political authority on theirlands, which gave them the right to try peasants intheir own courts. Peasants were required to pay lordsfor certain services, such as having their grainground into flour in the lords mills.
Even with these restrictions, however, serfs werenot slaves. The land assigned to serfs to supportthemselves usually could not be taken away, and

Robin Hood In 1261, a resident of Yorkshire, England,William De Fevre, was named an outlaw bythe Sheriff of Nottingham. De Fevre laterescaped to Sherwood Forest, where he joineda band of outlawed citizens and gained fameby robbing from rich figures of authority andgiving to the poor. Robin Hood, as he becameknown, was noted for treating the poor withgreat kindness and courtesy, in contrast to thecruelty that was often part of medieval life.
the throat. Now a series of horses could be hitched up,enabling them to pull the new, heavy plow faster andturn over more land. The use of the horseshoe, an ironshoe nailed to the horses hooves, made it easier forhorses to pull the heavy plow through the rocky andheavy clay soil of northern Europe.
The use of the heavy-wheeled plow also led to thegrowth of farming villages, where people had towork together. Because iron was expensive, a heavy-wheeled plow had to be bought by the entire com-munity. Likewise, one family could not afford a teamof animals, so villagers shared their beasts. The sizeand weight of the plow made it necessary to plow theland in long strips to minimize the amount of turningthat would have to be done.
The shift from a two-field to a three-field system ofcrop rotation added to the increase in food produc-tion. In the early Middle Ages, peasants divided theirland into two fields of equal size. One field wasplanted, while the other was allowed to lie fallow, orremain unplanted, to regain its fertility. Now, how-ever, lands were divided into three parts. One fieldwas planted in the fall with grains (such as rye andwheat) that were harvested in summer. The secondfield was planted in the spring with grains (oats andbarley) and vegetables (peas and beans) that wereharvested in the fall. The third field was allowed tolie fallow.
The three-field system meant that only one-third,rather than one-half, of the land lay fallow at anytime. The rotation of crops also kept the soil frombeing exhausted so quickly, which allowed morecrops to be grown.
Analyzing What were the mostimportant factors leading to the dramatic increase in population during the High Middle Ages?
The Manorial SystemYou will remember from reading Chapter 9 that
feudalism created alliances between nobles (lordsand vassals). The landholding nobles were a militaryelite whose ability to be warriors depended on theirhaving the leisure time to pursue the arts of war.Landed estates, located on the fiefs given to a vassalby his lord, and worked by peasants, provided theeconomic support that made this way of life possible.
A manor was an agricultural estate run by a lordand worked by peasants. Although free peasants con-tinued to exist, increasing numbers of free peasants became serfs, or peasants legally bound tothe land. Serfs had to provide labor services, pay rents,

a main room for cooking, eating, and other activitiesand another room for sleeping. There was little pri-vacy in a medieval household.
A hearth in the main room was used for heatingand cooking. Because there were few or no windowsand no chimney, the smoke created by fires in thehearth went out through cracks in the walls or, morelikely, through the thatched roof.
Cycle of Labor The seasons of the year largelydetermined peasant activities. Each season brought anew round of tasks. Harvest time in August and Sep-tember was especially hectic. A good harvest ofgrains for making bread was crucial to survival in thewinter months.
A new cycle of labor began in October, whenpeasants worked the ground for the planting of win-ter crops. In November came the slaughter of excesslivestock, because there was usually not enough foodto keep the animals alive all winter. The meat wouldbe salted to preserve it for winter use. In February
and March, the land was plowed for the planting ofspring cropsoats, barley, peas, and beans. Earlysummer was a fairly relaxed time, although therewas still weeding and sheepshearing to be done.
In every season, of course, the serfs workednot only their own land but also the lordslands. They also tended the small gardensnext to their dwellings, where they grew thevegetables that made up part of their diet.
Peasants did not face a life of constant labor,thanks to the feast days, or holidays, of theCatholic Church. These feast days celebrated
the great events of the Christian faith, or thelives of Christian saints or holy persons. The
three great feasts of the Catholic Church wereChristmas (celebrating the birth of Christ), Easter
(celebrating the resurrection of Christ), and Pentecost(celebrating the descent of the Holy Spirit on Christsdisciples 50 days after his resurrection). Other feastsdedicated to saints or the Virgin Mary, the mother ofJesus, were also celebrated. A total of more than 50days were essentially holidays.
Religious feast days, Sunday mass, baptisms, mar-riages, and funerals all brought peasants into contactwith the village church, a crucial part of manorial life.The village priest taught the peasants the basic ideasof Christianity so that they would gain the Christiansfinal goalsalvation. However, village priests wereoften peasants themselves; most were not able to read.It is difficult to know how much church teaching thepeasants actually understood. Very likely, they saw

Answer: Women worked in fields,took care of children, and managedtheir households.
God as an all-powerful force who needed to beappeased by prayer to bring good harvests.
The position of peasant women in manorial soci-ety was both important and difficult. They wereexpected to work in the fields and at the same timebear children. Their ability to manage the householdmight determine whether a peasant family wouldstarve or survive in difficult times.
Food and Drink Though simple, a peasants dailydiet was adequate when food was available. Thebasic staple of the peasant diet, and of the medievaldiet in general, was bread. Women made the doughfor the bread. The loaves were usually baked in com-munity ovens, which were owned by the lord of themanor. Peasant bread was highly nutritious becauseit contained not only wheat and rye but also barley,millet, and oats. These ingredients gave the bread adark appearance and very heavy, hard texture.
Numerous other foods added to the peasants diet:vegetables from the household gardens; cheese fromcows or goats milk; nuts and berries from wood-lands; and fruits, such as apples, pears, and cherries.Chickens provided eggs and sometimes meat. Peas-ants usually ate meat only on the great feast days,such as Christmas and Easter.
Grains were important not only for bread but alsofor making ale. In the Middle Ages, it was not easy toobtain pure sources of water to drink. Consequently,while wine became the choice of drink for membersof the upper classes, ale was the most common drinkof the poor. If records are accurate, enormous quanti-ties of ale were consumed. A monastery in the twelfthcentury records a daily allotment to the monks ofthree gallons of ale a day. Peasants in the field proba-bly consumed even more.
Explaining What role did peasantwomen play in manorial society?
The Revival of TradeMedieval Europe was basically an agricultural
society in which most people lived in small villages.In the eleventh and twelfth centuries, however, newelements changed the economic foundation of Euro-pean civilization. The new features included a revivalof trade and an associated growth of towns and cities.
The revival of trade in Europe was gradual. Dur-ing the chaotic times of the early Middle Ages, large-scale trade had declined. By the end of the tenthcentury, however, people were emerging with boththe skills and products for trade.
Reading Check Cities in Italy took the lead. Venice, for example,had emerged by the end of the eighth century as atown with close trading ties to the Byzantine Empire.Venice developed a mercantile fleet (a fleet of tradingships) and by the end of the tenth century hadbecome a major trading center.
