- Europe Middle Ages 1160 Map (Outline)
- European Kingdoms Chart
- Vladimir I
- Eleanor of Aquitaine
- Isabella I
- Joan of Arc
We read through the Vladimir I brief bio - we annotated together (I have added my notes at the bottom of this entry) and then filled in some of the Russia row: Vladmimir I; Eastern Orthodox; Conquered Slavs; Killed Brother, Married Byzantine Princess.
You then used the rest of class time to label and color the map using the one below as a reference. If you had time, you were also asked to look up the nicknames on the Kingdoms chart and write in the ruler's actual name. We'll read through Eleanor & Isabella tomorrow, when you'll also look through the relevant textbook chapter for the establishment of these four European kingdoms. On Thursday, we'll look at Joan of Arc and close up knighthood.

People
did not have individual freedoms and choices during this era, especially in
this place. The concept of freedom, equality, and Rights does not emerge
for another 700 years! Peasants were tied to the land they worked.
They had to do what their lord ordered.
