Better Farming
Began using the IRON plow pulled by a HORSE-could cut through thicker, tougher soils at a much faster rate
Developed a THREE-FIELD crop rotation system-1/3 land planted with spring crops;1/3 with winter crops; 1/3 left fallow (unplanted)
Monks called the CISTERCIANS cut down forests, drained marshes, bringing huge areas of land under cultivation. Introduced sheep farming to regions, increasing wool production.

Better Trade
Surplus crops from one area were traded for surplus crops from another
Manufactured goods like wool, expensive clothes, weaponry, and jewelry began being traded long distance to Africa, Middle East, and Asia
Merchants needed safer way to carry coins, so Italians developed bills and banking (exchanging the bills for coins)

Better Towns
Towns became centers of trade and industry Number of skilled craftworkers increased and
those that had the same skills banded together, creating GUILDS.
Members paid fees to guilds and in return for protection. If worker died, guild paid for funeral and cared for the family.
Guilds regulated business; only those trained and tested could have own business. Controlled quality of products and prices.

markets, all the people and money. What are you going to
do?

Famine and The Hundred Years War
1315-1317, rained so much that crops were ruined, cattle died from disease, people died of starvation. Known as the Great Famine (serious shortage of food)
Hundred Years War started with Edward III of England claiming the French throne.
Lasted from 1337-1453 had few battles but roaming armies destroyed crops and brought starvation to peasants.
England and France becoming unified nations, not a bunch of small manors so war was a nation war, not feudal.

Weapons and Joan of Arc English won early battles because of the
longbow. Arrows struck with great force, piercing the armor of the French.
Eventually both sides began using guns (shot through armor) and cannons (shot down walls)
Early 1400s peasant French girl Joan of Arc claimed she heard voices from heaven had told her to dress in knight’s clothing and lead the French army. French began winning

The Black Death 1347 Europe struck by the bubonic plague. Began in Central Asia and spread along trade
routes to China, India, and eventually Europe on a merchant ship that docked at Italy.
Victims died within a few days in agony. Disease carried by fleas on rats AND through the
air. 1/3 of all Europeans, tens of millions of people,
died. Looked for someone to blame so Christians falsely
accused the Jews of spreading the plague by poisoning wells. Jews were exiled or killed if they didn’t convert.

Peasant’s Revolt
So many died that there were two few people left to farm and lords were desperate for workers.
Serfs demanded wages and left manors for places offering higher wages. Lords tried to limit serfs movements and freeze wages.
1381 English peasants mounted the Peasant’s Revolt, killing lords, burning manors, destroying feudalism
