Around 600 AD, waves of invaders were
sweeping across Europe
Trade slowed to a trickle, towns emptied, and
learning virtually ceased
The period from about 500-1450 AD is known
today as the Middle Ages because it came
between the fall of Rome and the start of the
modern era
During the Middle Ages, Europe was a backward
region cut off from advanced civilizations
Medieval civilization---blended Greco-Roman,
Germanic, and Christian traditions






Europe is relatively small---the second
smallest in land area of the seven continents
It lies on the western edge of Eurasia, the
giant land mass that stretches from presentday Portugal in the west all the way to China
in the east
Despite Europe’s size, its impact on the
modern world has been enormous
WH Chapter 8 Section 1 Notes




From about 500-1000 AD, this region was a
frontier land---sparsely populated and
undeveloped area
Resources---dense forests, rich earth,
minerals, seas, rivers and streams







The Germanic tribes had a culture that
differed greatly from that of the Romans
Differences---they were farmers and herders,
lived in small communities instead of cities,
had no written laws
They elected kings to lead them in war
Warrior nobles swore loyalty to the king in
exchange for weapons or loot
WH Chapter 8 Section 1 Notes









Between 400 and 700 AD, Germanic tribes carved
Western Europe into small kingdoms
The strongest kingdom to emerge was that of the
Franks
In 486 AD, Clovis, king of the Franks, conquered
the former Roman province of Gaul
He ruled his new lands according to Frankish
custom but also preserved Roman legacy in Gaul
Clovis took an important step when he converted
to Christianity
He gained a powerful ally in the Christian Church
of Rome by doing so
WH Chapter 8 Section 1 Notes








As the Franks and other Germanic peoples
carved up Europe, a new power was emerging
across the Mediterranean
The religion of Islam appeared in Arabia in
632 AD
From there, Muslims built a huge empire and
created a civilization
European Christians were stunned when
Muslim armies overran Christian lands from
Palestine to North Africa to Spain






When a Muslim army crossed into France,
Charles “The Hammer” Martel rallied Frankish
warriors
At the Battle of Tours in 732 AD, Christian
warriors triumphed over the Muslim armies
This was supposedly a sign that God was on
their side
The Battle of Tours was important because it
stopped the Muslim advance into Western
Europe, although the Muslims continued to
rule Spain



Around 800 AD, Western Europe had a moment
of unity when
The Hammer’s grandson built an empire reaching
across France, Germany, and part of Italy
This emperor was known as Charlemagne
(Charles the Great)
He loved battle and spent much of his 46-year
reign fighting Muslims in Spain, Saxons in the
north, Avars and Slavs in the east, and Lombards
in Italy
His conquests united reunited much of the Old
Roman empire



In 800 AD, Pope Leo III called on Charlemagne for
help against rebellious nobles in Rome
Frankish armies marched south and crushed the
rebellion
On Christmas Day, the pope showed his gratitude
by crowning Charlemagne and proclaiming him
Emperor of the Romans
This was a significant event because a Christian
pope had crowned a German king successor to
the Roman emperors
In the long run, the crowning of Charlemagne
helped widen the split between the eastern and
western Christian worlds






Charlemagne tried to exercise control over
his many lands and create a united Christian
Empire
Working closely with the Church, he helped
spread Christianity to the conquered peoples
on the fringes of his empire
Missionaries converted many Saxons and
Slavs








Charlemagne appointed powerful nobles to
rule local regions
He gave them land so that they could offer
support and supply soldiers for his armies
To keep control of these provincial rulers, he
sent out officials called “missi dominici”
Their job was to check on roads, listen to
grievances, and see that justice was done








Charlemagne wanted to make his court at
Aachen a “second Rome”
He set out to revive Latin learning in his
empire
Education had declined so much that even
educated clergy were often ignorant
Charlemagne himself could read but not write
WH Chapter 8 Section 1 Notes









Charlemagne founded a school at Aachen under
the direction of a respected scholar, Alcuin of
York
Alcuin created a curriculum based on Latin
learning
The curriculum included grammar, rhetoric,
logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and
astronomy
Alcuin also hired scholars to copy ancient
manuscripts, including the Bible and Latin works
of history and science
Alcuin’s model would become the educational
model for medieval Europe
WH Chapter 8 Section 1 Notes





After Charlemagne died in 814 AD, his
empire soon fell apart
He heirs battled for power for nearly 30 years
Finally in 843 AD, Charlemagne’s grandsons
drew up the Treaty of Verdun which split the
empire into three regions







Charlemagne left a lasting legacy
He extended Christian civilization into
northern Europe and furthered the blending
of German, Roman, and Christian traditions
He also set up strong, efficient governments
Later medieval rulers look to his example
when they tried to strengthen their own
kingdoms








Charlemagne’s heirs faced new waves of
invasions
Despite the victory at Tours, Muslim forces
still posed a threat to Europe
About 896 AD, the Magyars settled in what is
today Hungary
From there, they overran eastern Europe and
moved on to plunder Germany, parts of
France, and Italy
Finally, after 50 years, they were pushed back
into Hungary






The Vikings snapped the last threats of unity
in Charlemagne’s empire
These expert sailors burst out of Scandinavia,
a northern region that now includes Norway,
Sweden, and Denmark
Starting in the 900s AD, they looted and
burned communities along the coasts and
rivers of Europe

The Vikings were not just destructive raiders
They were also traders and explorers who
sailed around the Mediterranean Sea and
across the Atlantic Ocean
Vikings opened trade routes that linked
northern Europe to Mediterranean lands
Vikings also settled in England, Ireland,
northern France, and parts of Russia
Around the year 1000, Leif Erikson set up a
short-lived Viking colony on North America

According to Viking mythology, Valhalla was a great hall in
the grandest palace of Odin, king of the gods
The walls of Valhalla were gold, and its roof was made of
battle shields
Vikings believed that if they died heroically in battle, they
would spend eternity fighting and feasting in Valhalla with
Odin
To make the voyage to Valhalla, a Viking hero needed a
proper funeral
This included being buried with is weapons, his clothing,
and a ship
Servants of Viking warriors were buried with them to serve
their masters on the journey and beyond
Sometimes, instead of being buried, the fully stocked ship
was cast adrift and burned

Let’s listen to the Immigrant Song by Led
Zeppelin and interpret the lyrics to see how
they relate to the Vikings!!!

WH Chapter 8 Section 1 Notes

  • 2.      Around 600 AD, waves of invaders were sweeping across Europe Trade slowed to a trickle, towns emptied, and learning virtually ceased The period from about 500-1450 AD is known today as the Middle Ages because it came between the fall of Rome and the start of the modern era During the Middle Ages, Europe was a backward region cut off from advanced civilizations Medieval civilization---blended Greco-Roman, Germanic, and Christian traditions
  • 3.    Europe is relatively small---the second smallest in land area of the seven continents It lies on the western edge of Eurasia, the giant land mass that stretches from presentday Portugal in the west all the way to China in the east Despite Europe’s size, its impact on the modern world has been enormous
  • 5.   From about 500-1000 AD, this region was a frontier land---sparsely populated and undeveloped area Resources---dense forests, rich earth, minerals, seas, rivers and streams
  • 6.     The Germanic tribes had a culture that differed greatly from that of the Romans Differences---they were farmers and herders, lived in small communities instead of cities, had no written laws They elected kings to lead them in war Warrior nobles swore loyalty to the king in exchange for weapons or loot
  • 8.       Between 400 and 700 AD, Germanic tribes carved Western Europe into small kingdoms The strongest kingdom to emerge was that of the Franks In 486 AD, Clovis, king of the Franks, conquered the former Roman province of Gaul He ruled his new lands according to Frankish custom but also preserved Roman legacy in Gaul Clovis took an important step when he converted to Christianity He gained a powerful ally in the Christian Church of Rome by doing so
  • 10.     As the Franks and other Germanic peoples carved up Europe, a new power was emerging across the Mediterranean The religion of Islam appeared in Arabia in 632 AD From there, Muslims built a huge empire and created a civilization European Christians were stunned when Muslim armies overran Christian lands from Palestine to North Africa to Spain
  • 11.     When a Muslim army crossed into France, Charles “The Hammer” Martel rallied Frankish warriors At the Battle of Tours in 732 AD, Christian warriors triumphed over the Muslim armies This was supposedly a sign that God was on their side The Battle of Tours was important because it stopped the Muslim advance into Western Europe, although the Muslims continued to rule Spain
  • 15.      Around 800 AD, Western Europe had a moment of unity when The Hammer’s grandson built an empire reaching across France, Germany, and part of Italy This emperor was known as Charlemagne (Charles the Great) He loved battle and spent much of his 46-year reign fighting Muslims in Spain, Saxons in the north, Avars and Slavs in the east, and Lombards in Italy His conquests united reunited much of the Old Roman empire
  • 18.      In 800 AD, Pope Leo III called on Charlemagne for help against rebellious nobles in Rome Frankish armies marched south and crushed the rebellion On Christmas Day, the pope showed his gratitude by crowning Charlemagne and proclaiming him Emperor of the Romans This was a significant event because a Christian pope had crowned a German king successor to the Roman emperors In the long run, the crowning of Charlemagne helped widen the split between the eastern and western Christian worlds
  • 19.    Charlemagne tried to exercise control over his many lands and create a united Christian Empire Working closely with the Church, he helped spread Christianity to the conquered peoples on the fringes of his empire Missionaries converted many Saxons and Slavs
  • 20.     Charlemagne appointed powerful nobles to rule local regions He gave them land so that they could offer support and supply soldiers for his armies To keep control of these provincial rulers, he sent out officials called “missi dominici” Their job was to check on roads, listen to grievances, and see that justice was done
  • 21.     Charlemagne wanted to make his court at Aachen a “second Rome” He set out to revive Latin learning in his empire Education had declined so much that even educated clergy were often ignorant Charlemagne himself could read but not write
  • 23.      Charlemagne founded a school at Aachen under the direction of a respected scholar, Alcuin of York Alcuin created a curriculum based on Latin learning The curriculum included grammar, rhetoric, logic, arithmetic, geometry, music, and astronomy Alcuin also hired scholars to copy ancient manuscripts, including the Bible and Latin works of history and science Alcuin’s model would become the educational model for medieval Europe
  • 25.    After Charlemagne died in 814 AD, his empire soon fell apart He heirs battled for power for nearly 30 years Finally in 843 AD, Charlemagne’s grandsons drew up the Treaty of Verdun which split the empire into three regions
  • 26.     Charlemagne left a lasting legacy He extended Christian civilization into northern Europe and furthered the blending of German, Roman, and Christian traditions He also set up strong, efficient governments Later medieval rulers look to his example when they tried to strengthen their own kingdoms
  • 27.      Charlemagne’s heirs faced new waves of invasions Despite the victory at Tours, Muslim forces still posed a threat to Europe About 896 AD, the Magyars settled in what is today Hungary From there, they overran eastern Europe and moved on to plunder Germany, parts of France, and Italy Finally, after 50 years, they were pushed back into Hungary
  • 28.    The Vikings snapped the last threats of unity in Charlemagne’s empire These expert sailors burst out of Scandinavia, a northern region that now includes Norway, Sweden, and Denmark Starting in the 900s AD, they looted and burned communities along the coasts and rivers of Europe
  • 37.      The Vikings were not just destructive raiders They were also traders and explorers who sailed around the Mediterranean Sea and across the Atlantic Ocean Vikings opened trade routes that linked northern Europe to Mediterranean lands Vikings also settled in England, Ireland, northern France, and parts of Russia Around the year 1000, Leif Erikson set up a short-lived Viking colony on North America
  • 42.        According to Viking mythology, Valhalla was a great hall in the grandest palace of Odin, king of the gods The walls of Valhalla were gold, and its roof was made of battle shields Vikings believed that if they died heroically in battle, they would spend eternity fighting and feasting in Valhalla with Odin To make the voyage to Valhalla, a Viking hero needed a proper funeral This included being buried with is weapons, his clothing, and a ship Servants of Viking warriors were buried with them to serve their masters on the journey and beyond Sometimes, instead of being buried, the fully stocked ship was cast adrift and burned
  • 45.  Let’s listen to the Immigrant Song by Led Zeppelin and interpret the lyrics to see how they relate to the Vikings!!!
