During the late 1000s, the Seljug Turks, a Muslin people from Central Asia, gained control of Palenstine-know among Christians as "the Holy Land." The Byzantine emperor called on Pope Urban 11.The Crusades is a series of military expeditions to regain the Holy Land. At least 10,000 Europeans took up the cause. The sewed a cross of cloth on their clothes and were called crusaders. Some went to save there soul, knights hoped to gain land and wealth, and some merchants saw a chance to make money.
The First Crusade lasted from 1096-1099. French and Italian lords led several armies of crusaders from europe-constantinople. The crusaders also marched down the the coast toward Palenstine and their main target- the holy city of Jerusalem. Thr crusaders' capture of Jerusalem brought much of the Holy Land under European control. As a result, Euroopean customs and institutions were put into place in parts of southwest Asis and the Holy Land.
For almost 100 years, European Christians held onto Palenstine. Little by little, the Turks won back therir lost lands. Popes adn Europeans rulers tried to stop them during three more major crusades.
In 1147 the second Crusades began. In 1187 the Muslim leader Saladin gained control of Jerusalem. Three European rulers then led seperate armies into the third Crusades. Pope Innocent 111 gathered a group of French knights for the Fourth Crusades. In 1212 the short-lived and unfortunate Children's Crusades took place.
The goal of the Crusades was to take the Holy Land from the Turks. All the Crusades except the first failed to reach that goal. By the end of the Crusades, the Muslims again controlled Palenstine.
During the Crusades the weapon of choice for many European soliders was the crossbow.It requires far less skill to use than the regular bow. It was a deadly weapon that was capable of penetrating chain mail and plate armor.From the Byzantines and Muslims, Europeans discovered new ways to wage war- undermin walls and use catapults. From the Muslims, they may have learned about gunpower.
To raise money to go on crusade some lords had sold their land. without land they had no power in the feudal syatem. WITH FEWER LORDS THE POWERE OF EUROPEAN KINGS GREW STRONGER. All these changes helped bring an end to feudalism.
Between 1096-1291, thousands of crusaders traveled through the Holy Land. They exchanged ideas with crusaders from other parts of Europe. They also gained knowledge from the Byzantines and Muslims whom they met. Change in trade took place. Ships from Italian cities carried crusaders to the Holy Land.

Vow of Silence
Today I did not like the fact that we couldn't talk, but I liked the silence. It was pretty hard not to talk especially when we were doing group and partner activities. I could barley make two class periods not talking. There is no way I could ever make it through the whole day. It would be extremley hard, and when you have to ask someone something you can't just say it. You have to write it down or use your hands. Today I learned that I am blessed with a voice. Some people can't talk. They were born like that, but I never take the time to realize how all the small things add up, big time. When my group worked together we used our hands alot to try to get what we wanted to say out. We also would write notes. The notes made the non-verbal communication a lot easier!

*The Anglo-Saxon concept came about during this time period.
*Shires-people who would collect there taxes (sherif)
*Alfred the Great was the first Anglo-Saxon. Edward the confessor was the last.
When Edward the confessar died there i going to be a war because he does not have a son or a brother. Harold Godwinthin was the brother in law of Edward, but he was english. The othere person who wanted the thrown was Willian the Duke of nurmerty, but he was from Nurmerty, France. But he was blloood related to Edward. This led to the Battle of Hasstly. It was basically over before it began. William kicked Harolds butt. he then got the nickname Willlian the conquer.
When William took the thrown he wanted to take quick action with english men. he was the first to collect a census in those times. The census would come to ur house and keep track of how many animals and kids and people u had, and they would use it to tax you. He took all this information and piled it together in a book called the domesday book. They nicknamed it dooms day book.
When willian dies he was reeplaced by Henry 1. Henry 1 grandson was replaced by his gradon henry2. Henry2 decide he was going to be like William and kick some butt. So firs he decided to change the law about the clergy not being held accountable for something. Thomas Backet and Henry 2 were BFFs. Thomas disagreed with Henry's changing of the church, so he decided he was going to go visit him and discuss it with him. They started argueing quickly. So Thomas stormed out and Henry mumbled I wish he would die. Henrys knights were listening through his door, the knight followed thomas to a church and stab him in the back on Christmas eve until he dies.
John replaced him. He doesnt know how to be a leader. He wants to go to war with everyone. To go to war u need money so he decided to tax people very heavily(83) the people met at runnymeady because they were tired of it so they came up with the omata carta. King john was forced tio sign it. Its so important because it was the foundation of our usconstitution.
The magna carta purpose was to limit the kings power and protect the nobles feudal rights. It made the king and his subjects had to obey the law or face revolt and overthrow. Over time the freedoms guaranteed by magna carta spead to all citizens.

France
The first attraction I would visit in France would be the Eiffel Tower. I would go to top and just admire the view. Then, I would go to the Fountainebleau Forest and Castle. After that I would visit the Notre-Dame de Paris. It is famous from the "Hunchback of Notre-Dame." The Effiel Tower would definitely be the high light of the trip.
