1. Discuss the Lay Investiture struggle and give its effects. What was really at stake?
The Lay Investiture struggle was between the people of the Church and the rulers of Europe. The rulers wanted to have power over the church which would require the church officials to become dependent upon the government. Not only would the pope and the other officials of the church not have their independence in the church but also the land and religious offices would be at stake.
The hunger for more power began with Otto I, who demanded that the pope crown him as Holy Roman Empire’s emperor. Otto I’s crown

Medieval kings followed specific outlines of treaties and slow but sure glorification because of the initial weak position. One of the more important specific events involved was the Norman Conquest of England.
The medieval societies and cultures were articulated through distinguishing styles and institutions such as the Gothic cathedral, the scholastic Summas, the manors, and the guilds. Medieval politics formed a parallel countenance in the old-fashioned monarchy as it flourished throughout the High Middle Ages. Greater rudimentary diversity were present in medieval politics more so than in social or cultural practices.
The agricultural improvements bore new ingredients to the rural life. Some peasants were almost free farmers, having few debts to their lords. Noble landlords mainly served military functions only, as they owned horses and armor, which was required in order to be able to fight to the end of the medieval period. Nobles, well most of the nobles, rejected the defect of exchanges, Nobles found that too much money-grubbing was patronizing. Nobles did use trade as a way to advance the living standards and implement more refined behaviors. The chivalrous writings of the late Middle Ages revealed the new way of life. http://history-world.org/midchurchhigh.htm http://occawlonline.pearsoned.com/bookbind/pubbooks/stearns_awl/medialib/IM/ch16.pdf

During the middle ages the lack of protection and a stable government after the Fall of Rome created the need for a new political system. Feudalism was the political system that emerged and shaped the lives of people socially and politically. Manors were small communities that were made up of a castle, church, village, and land for farming. The structured society provided a place and responsibility for everyone. The feudal obligations showed that in exchange for one thing they would be provided with something else. Serfs and peasants would work and produce goods for the rest of the manor and in return had their land and promised protection. The vassals would need to obtain land from the Lord and in return would provide the Lord with military service, loyalty, and ransom if asked for (Doc. 4). To make clear the vassal’s specific allegiance to their lord whom they owed in for exchange for their fief they would take the Homage Oath (Doc. 2). This interdependent system required everyone to do their part and it created social classes that they were born into. Their daily lives were centered on the manor and that was how it stayed until towns began to

To begin, Europeans lived under a system called feudalism which was important to their social status. “Feudalism was a political, economic, and social system in which nobles were granted to use of land that legally belonged to the king”(Doc1).The kings provided money for the knights(Doc1). Then the knights provided protection and military services for the serfs,nobles and kings(Doc1). The serfs farmed the land. Lastly the nobles gave land to the serfs, collected food from them, and reported to the king (Doc. 1). These roles were important because their rank in feudalism controlled their social status.
The Middle Ages, or Dark Ages, of the 15th century, established a policy regarding the practice of agriculture that later became known as feudalism. The monarchy bestowed vast tracts of land and an ennobling title to individuals who were tasked with keeping a functioning economy in their lands and maintaining a private militia for the protection of the realm and fiefdom they owned. These aristocrats allocated parcels of land to the serfs, or peasants, in exchange for complete rustic servitude and the privilege being allowed to live on that lord's land. Any crops or animals that were cultivated belonged to the realm and peasants were only permitted to keep a meager portion of their efforts. This archaic practice, established during the era

The rise of towns in the late middle ages had a direct effect on the feudal system in the middle ages. As agricultural practices improved production of crops was accomplished with less labor this allowed farmers to turn their attention to other endeavors which allowed them to make more money. The noble class was forced to sell the peasants their freedom so they could fund the crusades, pay loans and buy luxury items. The peasants not being tied to the farm, produced goods that could be sold at the local market place which gave many the funds to by their freedom. The market place where they sold these goods was located along trade routes, towns evolved from these market places. With the ability to buy their freedom most of the peasants moved to these growing towns looking for work. Most had
The Pope made a rule that the king cannot choose anyone from the clergy to be his vassal and the king did not want to abide by this rule. There was a election for the Bishopric for Milan which was very important to both the king and to the Pope but i different ways. They both got involved in the election. They both wanted their candidate to win so the king had the Pope deposed and he retaliated with excommunication of the king. This fight went on until a compromise between a new king and new Pope. The papal was now able to depose of the king should he wish. This conflict started the divide between the church and the king and led to the Crusades because they both got power hungry.
When people conjure images of the Middle Ages, people think of chaos, war, and little improvement. In fact, much of this is true. During the Middle Ages, a system called the Feudal System was formed to maintain order. It might have made life tough for peasants, but it kept nobles, or upper-class people, rich and in power. The Feudal System greatly affected daily life for everyone, but, in time, it collapsed.
The medieval government in western Europe exercised feudalism which also established the structure of political powers. Kings held the most authority while lords and knights were above peasants. These relationships were able to continue since government was local rather than centralized. Though the government remained local in a majority of kingdoms, leaders wanted to expand their land. Wars became
