Hi @helpernow

Answer 2

Hi @likeabossssssss

Answer 3

Considering the middle ages occured from 500 - early 1400's, you can argue that


1_ After the Fall of Rome, led the rise of nation-states of areas making their own countries, each having a monarchy to reign over (with certain exceptions, but it was most countries based on it)

2_ Churches became a heavy part of the middle ages as the church was an influence over the legitimacy of a monarchy (they legitimised rules as people from God, approved of marriages which kings needed to make alliances), as well as making the staple of education during that time (scholasticism such as St. Augustine, St. Thomas). This was the golden age of Christendom in Europe

3_ Crusades were a period of events that led to the prevention of Muslim invasions and to the fall back as we saw that the Church (more specifically Pope Gregory) was able to unite Kings in order to fight off Muslim nations such as the Ugayan empire, the moors, reclaim christian land and capture Jerusalem.

Answer 5

Thanks @helpernow I appreciate all the helpful information, but I would like to know how they are all related.

Answer 6

Hmmm,

To make it more simple

Kings need the Church to legitimize their rule, the Church needs the Kings to continue with keeping their churches safe, their christian members safe, which led to the crusades of reclaiming Christian territories.
