Homework 9/23: Ch. 13, Sec. 2

Read Chapter 13, Section 2 in your textbook (pages 322-326) then answer the following questions. You may type the answers, or submit a hand-written version in BLUE OR BLACK INK. There are five questions and I expect full, thought-out, well-composed answers.

DUE: Wednesday 9/24 (Period 7), Thursday 9/25 (Period 8)

1. What was the impact of Viking, Magya, and Muslim invasions on medieval Europe? List them separately.

2. What are the key characteristics of feudalism?

3. How might the decline of trade during the early Middle Ages have contributed to the self-sufficiency of the manor system?

4. What exchange took place between lords and vassals under the feudal system?

5. Based on the quote on page 326, what does the quote suggest about the problems peasant families faced?
