100 years war
Warfare
The longbow and gunpowder changed warfare during hundred years war because the longbow, made the classic attack of sword, lance or joust useless, for the most part. When someone could kill a soldier from a hundred yards, there was no need to get close enough for horse or foot soldier to fight. Gunpowder brought in the canon, and this was a weapon that was effective even farther than the long bow. It could kill multiple people at long range, plus, it made the stone castle obsolete, because canon balls could blast them apart.
Growth of TradeThe Crusades and travel during the Medieval times of the Middle Ages opened new trade options to England
England started to move from land based economy to a money based economy |
Hundred Years warUnder feudalism the King was answerable to the Pope. At the end of the Middle Ages King Henry VIII clashed with the Pope and England subsequently broke with the Catholic church of Rome and the power of the Pope. This led to the establishment of the Church of England and the Dissolution of the Monasteries. It was the final 'nail in the coffin' of the Medieval Feudal System, feudalism, in England.

The Black Death
1347 Dear Diary,
Today I live in Eastern Roman Empire, where the bubonic plague. I am Logan Wirtz and I see my parents infected with the bubonic plague near the shoulder and neck. I feel like I am starting to be infected by the bubonic plague. I am beginning to get red pussy bumps all over my body. My friends are all dead due to this terrible disease. My family and I are being infecting by this terrible disease. When people become sick we have tried drinking our own urine. I have seen them throw bodies over the walls hoping the disease would go away ,but it seems to be just getting worse. Afterwards we dispose of the bodies.
Sincerely,
Logan Wirtz

Barter Economy
Lords brought peace and nobility to bartering ,so their would be more trading and population in the town. More people in the town because you would go into the town to barter and you would see the town and maybe want to come back. Finding the right person is a problem because you don't know if they're going to be truthful when you're bargaining.They might not bring the right amount of trading supplies you asked for ,or they might steal from you and not even pay you back with something that has equal value. Maybe you have too little of something and you can't split it up into a fair way ,so you loose profit from making someone come the journey to trade with you. A problem might also come across as if the values are equal or if you are determining the right value. You might loose something for a while and then you won't have anything to trade.
