The Vikings just invaded York. Harold had to painfully gather his army again and launch a quick attack on the Vikings. They caught the Normans off guard, and were getting ready to attack.

Here they created a strong shield wall with Harold at the centre. The Normans were drawn up by three lines below. The English and Norman armour were very similar. Both sides wore conical-shaped iron helmets with a nasal. They also both wore the same chainmail armour. But while the English had the Dane axe and used a shield wall tactic, the Normans had a lot of Calvary and Archers. The Normans attacked, but the English shield wall still stood. As the calvary retreated, the English shield wall moved forward, and a rumour suddenly spread saying that William was killed. Panicked, the calvary retreated and the English chase after them, but it was all a trick and the Normans used that weakness to attack the English and eventually killed Harold.

Jerusalem seen as the Holy Land to many religions. Christians for example placed Jerusalem at the centre of their maps as well as the centre of their religious world.

1095: Pope Urban II promised rewards to those which rescued Jerusalem from the Turks back to Christianity

1099: Christians win Jerusalem from the Muslims. 

Over next three centuries more and more Crusades occur. The Crusaders failed to keep any of the territory they conquered, but did discover new things in castle design, gunpowder, science, medicine and numeracy (Numbers over Roman Numerals).

1189-1192: Third Crusade: After Muslim Ruler Saladin had recaptured Jerusalem in 1187, The Crusaders under Richard I of England capture the port of Acre.

Henry hoped that by appointing his chancellor, with whom he had very good relations, royal supremacy over the English Church would be reasserted, and royal rights over the Church would return to what they had been in the days of Henry's grandfather, King Henry I of England. However, shortly after Becket's consecration, the new archbishop resigned the chancellorship and changed his entire lifestyle. Because of this and multiple more revolts, Thomas Becket fled to France for six years, fearing for his life. After the six years, he returned, promising the King that he would obey him. Even after this promise, however, he excommunicated all of the bishops who were in "Henry's side". Because of this, Henry was heard shouting "will no one rid me of this troublesome priest?!" by four knights, who thought it was an order, and killed Thomas Becket in the Canterbury Cathedral. After this incident, the King prayed in front of Thomas's tomb while being hit by monks as a sign of sorriness. The Pope accepted the apology.]]> 2023-06-06 19:18:25 UTC https://padlet.com/jayhyonhan/mtkiocxus207k3c4/wish/2616221920 jayhyonhan https://padlet.com/jayhyonhan/mtkiocxus207k3c4/wish/2617474969 King John was King of England from 1199 to 1216. He is often remembered as a cruel and power-hungry King. To try to keep the peace with rebellious barons and landowners, King John agreed to the Magna Carta in 1215. It was the first written document that established the rule of law and limited the king's power and allowed the wealthy landowners to have a say on new taxes. However, John once again found himself at odds with the country when he broke the terms of the agreement. Today, the Magna Carta is viewed as one of the first steps towards democracy.]]> 2023-06-07 20:15:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jayhyonhan/mtkiocxus207k3c4/wish/2617474969 jayhyonhan https://padlet.com/jayhyonhan/mtkiocxus207k3c4/wish/2617485231 During his long reign, Henry's kingdom would experience relative peace and prosperity until he began having trouble with his barons due to his high handed governing style, which compelled the Barons to impose the Provisions of Oxford limiting royal power in 1258.

He was getting unhappy about the Provisions of Oxford because it was stripping him away of his power. The King's army was led by Simon de Montfort. On the 14 May 1264, the two sides fought a battle and the barons won, and the King and his son were taken prisoner. In 1265, Simon de Montfort called a meeting of the Great Council, but this time he invited some rich, but unimportant people. This was the first ever time that this happened, so this meeting is sometimes also referred to as "the first Parliament". Not surprisingly, not long after, the King and the young prince managed to escape and fight back. This time, they won and killed Simon de Montfort in a very brutal way. Although de Montfort died, his idea lived on. When Henry III died in 1272 Prince Edward became King Edward I. He didn't want to risk more fights with the barons by scrapping Parliament, so he kept meeting with them.]]> 2023-06-07 21:03:28 UTC https://padlet.com/jayhyonhan/mtkiocxus207k3c4/wish/2617498319 jayhyonhan https://padlet.com/jayhyonhan/mtkiocxus207k3c4/wish/2617507982 - There was a new tax called the Poll Tax.
