This is my King John Meme. On the picture it says if I wanted to limit my own power, I would sign the Magna Carta. I wrote this because the Magna Carta limited King John's power. The Magna Carta impacted the Middle Ages because King John was abusing his power, so the Barons went to King John and made him sign the Magna Carta.
The Magna Carta impacted the Bill of Rights. Some similartites are that both documents gave more freedom to people and gives less power to the people or peoples that are controlling them. Some differences between them are that there were lots of people that signed the Bill of Rights, but only one person signed the Magna Carta. Also, the people who signed the Bill of Rights were not forced to sign the document, but King John was forced to sign the Magna Carta.
This is a picture of a church hierarchy. People went to work for the church because the church was very respected, the church was a big employer, and since the church was so powerful, everybody wanted to be a part of it.
This is a medieval stained glass window. These windows were important because it told stories of the bible and it was used in the churches for decor and beauty.
This is my Pope Urban II meme. On the picture it says, I conquered the holy land, but killed thousands. This is because since Pope Urban II was power hungry, he went to capture the holy land and in the process he drove and killed thousands of innocent Muslims.
The crusades started when Alexius I saw that the Byzantine empire was being attacked by Turks and Arabs. He told Pope Urban II to defend the empire, and he did. He also went to the holy land and captured it from the Muslims. Since he did this, there were consequences. Some consequences were that thousands of people were killed and not all of the crusaders came home.
