Did any part of the crusades not have to do with religion?
Why did the cities get so impacted by the Muslims just by being exposed to their culture?
http://www.medievalcrusades.com/- this is a link I found to a site that explains the crusades even more. There is a map that is on there that might help you understand it more. Also at the top right of the page there is a coin that I found interesting of Amaury I King of Jerusalem showing the Church of the Holy Sepulchre.
The reading talked about spices. Where did the three thousands spices come from?
What was the Council of Clermont?
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Council_of_Clermont Wikipedia helps give a beginning introduction to help better understand what the councils of Clermont is/was.
http://www.africa.upenn.edu/CIA_Maps/Tunisia_19888.gif I was wondering where Tunisia and Liberia were. This map shows where these two countries were.
I was also wondering where Aquitaine was. These links give a map to show where it is. http://www.livebordeaux.com/images/maps/aquitaine-france.gif
I was wondering some more about the weaponry of the crusades (or the time of the crusades) One ting i found really interesting was that, even though the cross bows couldnt shoot as far as mongol bows, they could kill a soldier in full armor. Also i had never heard of a bill hook, (which was a weapon) and it turns out to be like a hooked sword with an ax like head.
for more weapon INFO: http://www.middle-ages.org.uk/middle-ages-weapons.htm
Eleanor of Aquitaine was the subject of my research paper, and the reading mentioned Antioch, which at one point was controlled by Eleanor's uncle. So, I wanted to learn more about it...
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Antioch#Crusader_era
Scroll down to "crusader era". It describes how the city was pillaged, churched were destroyed, and christians persecuted. (and includes a couple pics)
Question: Spain was orginally Muslim (Cordoba), it became at come point, a Christian nation..did that happen during the Crusdades? If it did, when did it happen?
Posted by Kristen http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peace_and_Truce_of_God This is a site that explains the Truce of God.The movement started the first organized attempt to control civil society in medieval Europe through non-violent means.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Santiago_de_Compostela The reading mentioned the Santiago de Compostela Shrine and I wanted to know where it was.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Eleanor_of_Aquitaine Eleanor of Aquitaine really interested me. The reading says she was the most powerful women in Europe of the Middle Ages. She was queen of both France and Britain and the mother of two kings.
I noticed that Kara was wondering about Spain becoming a Christian nation and I thought that that is a really great question. This link tells us a little about how spain became a christian country. Based off of this link I do not think that the fall of the Muslims in spain was related to the crusades but I am still confused about this
I thought it was interesting how a war would promote trade and spread culture. I would like to learn some more about how that would work. I was also wondering about the effects of the Crusades on different groups and what kinds of effects it made. I found a site that pretty well explains that. http://www.middle-ages.org.uk/effects-of-crusades.htm
Zach Dresher I decided to learn more about a crusade that was not mentioned in the reading. The children's crusade. This is an event that happened in 1212
Here is a wikipedia on it http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children%27s_Crusade#Version_of_events
here is a map showing the area of the Childrens Crusade http://psychicinvestigator.com/Geo/Map03.gif

Posted by Madeline Burroughs: 1) What does the word "pious" mean? It was used in the sentence "Genuinely pious pilgrims traveled under royal protection..." (page 3, paragraph 2)
2) What is the Bayeux Tapestry specifically?
3) I think it was interesting how on page 3 it said "without the rivalry between popes and kings..." <-- this shows the significance of what happened in 800 with Charlemagne and the pope. It brings to life how important that event was.
If both china's Han dynasty and the Abbasid caliphate both dissolved into succers states, why did imperial Rome collapse as well and follow there bad example?
A troubadour is a "composer and performer of Occitan lyric poetry during the High Middle Ages (1100–1350)."
The troubadors kind of took over for the monks because people were tired of hymns and "new stories were sang, while music was played on strange, new musical instruments, brought back to Western Europe from the Crusades. Verses became quite complex in style and ranged in topics from satire, love, and politics, to debates, laments and spinning songs."
Each song appealed to different people- men generally wanted to hear about brave tales of warriors, women wanted to hear love songs, and childern wanted to hear stories with entertaining aspects.

ReplyDelete2) How greatly did England and France depend on there farms, what did they use before the plow?

what is the bayeux tapestry?
ReplyDeletewhere the crusades 100% about religion?
why were certain regions of europe so populated?
Why were laws enacted that made serfs free once they moved into the city?
ReplyDeleteWho created the Bayeux Tapestry?
Here is a link on the Bayeux Tapestry.
http://www.bayeuxtapestry.org.uk/
It is from the United Kingdom therefore it is told from the British perspective
I was most into the weaponry (like Kramer) and I also noticed that the second crusade was not mentioned, but I may have just missed it.

This is a great site on the second crusade put together as a school project by someone. It is very informative.
