  1. Hello, welcome back to the news.
  2. So as we remember back in 1199, King John raises taxes to help his army.
  3. Of course the barons were fed up with this
  4. and made him sign a document called Magna carta.
  5. Magna carta is latin for great charter.
  6. This this document um
  7. promised the Byron's certain rights and eventually all the townspeople
  8. um this charter set an example for all of us that I
  9. mean even the king must have been a lot of the land.
  10. So communes are political groups that are formed by townspeople in Northern
  11. Italy that are made to work against bishops and have self government.
  12. Italian communes are winning battles and um are becoming independent city states.
  13. The idea of communes are spreading to towns, towns all over northern europe
  14. kings and nobles are starting to give people
  15. are giving talents, people charters.
  16. So as we remember um there were religious crusades
  17. were a series of battles called the Holy Wars.
  18. These these were when the,
  19. when christians from western europe went to middle lee went to the Middle
  20. East to when Jerusalem as well as some other places from the Muslims.
  21. The first crusade was called on by Pope Urban the second.
  22. So as you may know, the feudalism is ending
  23. and um the first main reason for the decline of feudalism is the religious crusades,
  24. they didn't really do super well, but they did open up a lot of trade
  25. and so since towns are super centered around trade, people are now moving from.
  26. Tanners are manners to towns.
  27. The townspeople also prefer strong kings that will take care of them rather
  28. rather than the lords that had a lot of control over them.
  29. This is also leading to a rise in monarchy.
  30. Next um Next to talk about, there is a black plague going around.
  31. Um like there's so far, one third of the population is being has been killed off.
  32. So a lot,
  33. there's a lot less people to work in the
  34. manners and they're starting to demand more rights.
  35. And so kings are allowing them to leave and they're flying to towns.
  36. So that's all there is to it and the news. Thank you.
